Chapter 51: The princess suddenly appeared
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, March 14, the time of the year, Tsing Yi Weibei Anping Division]
At this time, Xu Ke was sitting in Nangong's silent thousand-household office, drinking tea and chatting with Nangong.
Since he was in charge of the inspection of 1,000 households, he should have worked in the office of 1,000 households in his southern office. However, because he often had to discuss with Nangong Buyu, two of the three days he was on duty were in Nangong's thousand-household office.
According to the practice of Tsing Yi Wei, the inspector Qianhu is the personal deputy of the governor, and he has always worked with the governor in the southern office. And Xu Ke, as the inspector of thousands of households in this term, broke the routine for the first time, and sat with the thousands of households of the Bei'an Pingsi every day. The location of his office has almost been changed to Beiya.
The people of the North Ya, seeing that Xu Qianhu was an inspector and did not stay in the South Bureau, but he came to the North Ya every day to work, and he was surprised at the beginning, but he was also accustomed to it for a long time.
Everyone in Tsing Yi Wei knows that the relationship between the famous Xu Qianhu and Nangong Qianhu is like brothers, comparable to siblings. Even, some people are still rumoring that these two thousand households are very likely to become a family. It is said that Nangong Qianhu's sister fell in love with Xu Qianhu, and maybe one day, Xu Qianhu will become Nangong Qianhu's brother-in-law.
These two thousand households, one was specially promoted by the emperor, and he had just been promoted from a four-grade inspection thousand households to a thousand-hundred-household from the third-grade Bei'an Pingsi. One is a disciple of the Tianzi Sect of the Shenwang Pavilion, the thousand-year-old junior disciple of King Zhao, who was enshrined by the emperor's imperial order and became the youngest Qianhu in the history of the Great Qian!
Both of them are the same young, the same handsome, the same civil and military, the same favored by the emperor and become the people of the Son of Heaven, and the same good luck, in a short period of time, they have become a hot figure in Tsing Yi Wei.
For such two people, almost all the people in Tsing Yi Wei, in addition to envy, are still envious!
Now, such two people have come together and formed an alliance like brothers, who else can beat the edge of the entire Tsing Yi Guard? !
Everyone in Tsing Yi Wei knows that the power of the thousand households of the Bei'an Ping Division is very great, he is not only directly subordinate to the emperor, but also enjoys the right of moderation over the remaining four thousand households in the Tsing Yi Wei, and is above the remaining thousand households, which is only slightly lower than the governor of Tsing Yi Wei.
The main functions and powers of the North Anhei Division are to investigate officials and cabinet ministers in Beijing, and to act as the agent of major cases between the DPRK and China. That is to say, all the officials in the capital, as long as he wants to check the North Anping Division, can be checked, and if it is a lower-ranking official, the Northern Anping Division can be arrested without the will of the document.
There are five hundred households under the jurisdiction of the Thousand Households of the Bei'an Ping Division, and each hundred households has three school captains, and each school captain has three to five flag-bearers, and each flag bearer has a subordinate to the commanders, the chiefs, the captains, and the guards. The total number of people in the entire Bei'an Ping Division is nearly 3,000, and most of them are people with extraordinary martial arts, and it is the department with the largest number of people, the most capable members, and the most powerful in the Tsing Yi Guard.
According to the past practice, the thousand households of the Northern Anping Division often connected the three thousand households of the Southern Anping Division, the Luan Yi Division, and the Qingjing Division to compete with the governor, which was also the need for the balance of the emperor's majesty. And the governor of Tsing Yi Wei, the most trusted person around him, is often the one who inspects thousands of households.
But today's Tsing Yi Wei, the North Anping Division, Qianhu Nangong is silent, and Xu Ke, who is inspecting Qianhu, is connected together. Yang Wenyuan, who was supposed to form an alliance with the Northern Anping Division, fell to the governor Shen Huan. As for the Luan Yi Division, Qianhu Zhu Leyun, and the Qingjing Division, Qianhu Zhang Muye, they remained neutral, and no one knew what their position was.
Yes, the subordinates of all the departments in Tsing Yi Wei were secretly surprised, they never thought that they would encounter such a strange situation this year, everyone was surprised, but they also stared with wide eyes, and looked at this year, between the thousands of households and the governor, who can win?
What Nangong didn't expect was that most people were optimistic about him and Xu Ke.
Although Shen Huan has been in the position of governor for nearly 20 years, he has also won the trust of the emperor. However, this time, the emperor deliberately promoted the young Nangong to be silent, and it is not difficult to see from this point that in the eyes of the emperor, he may have more high hopes for Nangong Qianhu!
Moreover, Xu Qianhu, an ally of Nangong Qianhu, this person is not simple, he was appointed by the emperor to become a hundred households at a young age, and the emperor also rewarded Xu Qianhu with a royal Kunwu sword. Now, Xu Qianhu has entered the Divine King Pavilion again and has become the personal disciple of the master of the White Old Pavilion. I don't know who the old white pavilion master is, but his eldest disciple is the world-famous Zhao Wangye! Xu Qianhu not only became a senior brother with Zhao Wangye, but he was also a close confidant of King Wei!
In the eyes of almost everyone in Tsing Yiwei, with the two big backers of King Zhao and King Wei, it is almost invincible. Nangong Qianhu is already strong, and now he has a more powerful Xu Qianhu as an ally, although Shen Dudu has Yang Qianhu to help, he may not be the enemy of the two of them......
However, although there were all kinds of rumors outside, and the guards were also speculating privately, Nangong Buyu and Xu Ke in the official room did not pay attention to it at all. At this time, Nangong was silently drinking the best flower rain, and asked Xu Ke:
"Brother Xian, you met Lord Qiu last night, does Lord Qiu have a plan for those Chang'an refugees?"
Xu Ke said: "Mr. Qiu thinks that it is best to deal with those Chang'an refugees to secretly arrest them and expel them all six hundred miles away. ”
"Secretly arrest and expel them all?" Nangong couldn't help but slap the table and said, "This plan is very clever! In this way, the displaced people not only saved their lives, but also made the cat demon in Chang'an City unable to start, Mr. Qiu is really wise! This strategy is much more wonderful than Shen Dudu's method of "arresting him in prison"!"
Xu Ke said: "However, I went to see my senior brother again last night, but he didn't approve!"
Nangong was silent and puzzled: "Why doesn't His Royal Highness King Zhao agree?"
"Senior brother thinks, don't be so troublesome......"
At that moment, Xu Ke said a little bit about his conversation with Zhao Wang Li Yi last night, and Nangong was silent.
Listening to Xu Ke talk about it, there was another member of the Beijing trial team, it was Murong Huan, the second son of Tianbao Pavilion, Nangong was silent and immediately rejoiced:
"Young Master Murong has also joined the list of my capital trials? Great! With the help of a master like Young Master Murong, why worry about the cat demon if you don't get rid of it, why worry about this case not being solved!"
Xu Keqi said: "Brother Nangong, why do you always call Murong Gongzi 'Young Master', isn't the young master of his Tianbao Pavilion the eldest prince Murong Luo?"
Nangong waved his hand silently, and said: "Brother Xian doesn't know, although there are many capable people in the Tianbao Pavilion, the real top master is only Murong Huan! In the eyes of the foolish brother, in terms of Murong Huan's kung fu, almost no one is his opponent in the heavens and the earth! Yes, the people in the rivers and lakes have always regarded Murong Huan as the master of the Tianbao Pavilion. The reason why he was called 'Young Master' was nothing more than for the sake of Murong Yuanshan being the master of Tianbao Pavilion. ”
Xu Ke was a little suspicious: "Murong Gongzi's martial arts, the younger brother has seen it, but is he as powerful as Brother Nangong said?"
Nangong said silently: "Needless to say, Murong Huan himself, is the four generals under him, Dongshan, Beiling, Xichuan and Nanyuan, in the martial arts, they are also all unique figures. ”
Xu Ke couldn't help muttering to himself: "Dongshan, Beiling, Xichuan, Nanyuan ......"
Suddenly, another world flashed in his mind. In that world, the sky was obscured by black smoke, the earth was dark, the wild flowers and plants were dry, and the smoke was billowing as far as the eye could see......
In that world, a sip of dirty, muddy water is a luxury. Everyone can only be trapped in the lonely city, once he loses the protection of the city wall, there will be a demonic beast rushing out to devour him immediately!
In that world, there were crazy monsters everywhere, and humanity was on the verge of extinction. He and Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan, and Yao Zibei were trapped in the Xuchang Tubao, and the people who accompanied them every day were the four generals of the Tianbao Pavilion, except for those Xuchang people.
Higashiyama, Beiling, Nishikawa, Nanyuan.
Xu Ke didn't know what the reason was, these four people actually took such four names. At that time, he had to fight side by side with the four men every day, either patrolling the city together in the middle of the night or going out hunting during the day. They have to work hard every day to survive and not be devoured by the monsters. He didn't even ask, why did the four of you take such four strange names?
In this flash, he has been out of the cabinet smoothly for many days, and that world and that wheel of life have long had nothing to do with him. However, the past is as if it were yesterday, and he is a little bit more today, and when his mind is neutral, he has experienced all kinds of past in the Divine King's Pavilion......
"Ahem...... I don't know how long I've been away from that wheel of life, and I don't know how they're doing at this time?" Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Nangong was silent and saw Xu Ke muttering suddenly, and suddenly thoughtfully, he couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Xian, do you know these four people from Dongshan and Beiling?"
"Oh...... I don't know!" Xu Ke hurriedly shook his head and said.
"I only remember that once in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, I saw a person, and he seemed to be a ...... Xichuan?" Xu Ke suddenly remembered, in fact, in this wheel of life, he had met Xichuan under Murong Huan, at that time, Xichuan was holding a flat pole and ran towards him violently, and the two also fought. Electronic Chinese Network
Speaking of which, Xu Ke also talked to the "Xichuan" there about the fight between the two in the 12-line life wheel of Jiazi, Xu Ke hugged his fist to "Xichuan" at that time and sincerely apologized, but the "Xichuan" there couldn't remember it at all.
"Brother Xian has seen Xichuan?" Nangong said silently:
"That virtuous brother knows that Xichuan's real name is 'Qin Dabao', he was originally the leader of the Huashan faction, he has extraordinary strength, and the weapon in his hand is a flat ......."
Xu Ke didn't want to hear these things, so he immediately turned his mouth and asked:
"Brother Nangong, you said that this Murong Gongzi's martial arts are so powerful, could it be said that compared to my senior brother's martial arts, Murong Gongzi is also stronger?"
Nangong nodded silently and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao's miraculous skills are world-famous, and the foolish brother doesn't dare to say anything! However, the kung fu of the young master of Murong, the foolish brother has seen it on the battlefield. Ten years ago, in the battle of Zhuozhou, if it weren't for the action of Young Master Murong, I would have more than 100,000 cadres and soldiers, and I would have been wiped out by the whole army......"
"Ten years ago, ......?" Xu Ke was puzzled: "Brother Nangong, you are not mistaken, right? Ten years ago, Murong Gongzi was only fourteen years old at most, right? How can he kill the enemy on the battlefield?"
"Hey, Brother Xian, listen to me......" Nangong silently picked up the teacup, took a big sip of tea, and continued: "It's strange that Young Master Murong was only a young man under the age of fourteen at that time, and he actually had the means to reach the sky! On that day on the battlefield, it coincided with the confrontation between the two armies, and the main general of the other side was the world's famous ......."
Xu Ke heard Nangong silently talking about the killing of the enemy in the field that year, he immediately came to the interest, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of "flower rain", just when he was listening carefully, he suddenly heard a "branch" sound, the door of the thousands of official rooms has been pushed open, followed by a girl's delicate voice:
"The left is a Murong Gongzi, and the right is a Murong Young Master, this princess is so big when she hears it! I said that you two big men, do you have nothing to do in the daytime? How much money do I raise you every month? Do you know that you hide in the room all day long and talk about others?"
Nangong was silent and saw that his thousand-household office was pushed open for no reason, his face sank, and he was about to have a seizure on the spot, but he saw that Xu Ke had hurriedly got up at this time, bowed to a girl who walked into the room, and said respectfully:
"Weichen see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"She's ...... Princess?" Nangong silently pointed to the girl in front of him, still a little disbelieving in his expression.
"Brother Nangong, this is the seventeenth princess of the current emperor, the royal title Princess Lingyu! Her Royal Highness the princess is here, Brother Nangong is coming to see you!" Xu Ke said busily.
Seeing Xu Ke's solemn expression, not like a joke, Nangong was silent, so he had to get up from the Taishi's chair, hurriedly came to the girl's side, leaned over and saluted: "Chenbei Anping Division Qianhu Nangong is silent, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Naturally, the girl who suddenly broke in from outside the door was the seventeenth princess Li Qi.
Li Qi was wandering around Chang'an City with Yiqing yesterday, but ran into her third brother Li Yi. When the three of them were having dinner at the "Worry-free Residence" in the south of the city, Li Yi offered to let Li Qi join his "Beijing Trial Team" and investigate the case and catch demons with him. At that time, she was so happy that Li Qi, but after thinking about it, she suddenly felt that the third brother's behavior today was so abnormal, maybe the third brother was deceiving her.
So, after the three of them persuaded Murong Huan, when they were walking on the road, Li Qi took Li Yi's hand and kept begging her third brother to give her an official position.
What Li Yi is most afraid of is the seventeenth sister's trick of "dead skin and face, death to the end". In his memory, whenever his seventeenth sister begged him, there was no possibility of him refusing in the end. As a result, Li Yi had to casually seal her identity as a "case investigation commissioner". Unexpectedly, when Li Qi was about to part, he actually said that he would come to Tsing Yi Wei to be on duty tomorrow......
At this time, it was already three o'clock, and it happened to be the time when Tsing Yi Wei was on lunch, and Li Qi really came.
Originally, she had no waist card, no papers, and she was a young girl, so she couldn't enter the door of Tsing Yiwei at all.
Coincidentally, when Li Qi's entrance was blocked, it coincided with Ding Chunqiu, the new lieutenant of the Bei'an Ping Division, going out on something. Ding Chunqiu heard a woman shouting in front of the door, "Xu Ke...... Come out for the princess!" he was curious, and went to the gate and asked the guard who was guarding the gate what was the matter.
"Captain Qi Ding" The guard said respectfully: "This woman doesn't know the height of the sky, and she dares to openly shout Xu Qianhu......'s name! Princess!"
Ding Chunqiu looked at Li Qi and asked, "Do you recognize Xu Qianhu?"
Li Qi didn't even look at the other party, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he snorted coldly: "Of course I know him, you hurry up and call him out!"
"Who are you from the Thousand Households?" Ding Chunqiu saw that the other party was gorgeously dressed and handsome, and thought that she was one of Xu Ke's "confidantes", so he asked patiently.
Li Qi said angrily: "This princess is Princess Lingyu, yes! You call Xu Ke, he naturally knows!"
The guards on the side couldn't help it, pointed at Li Qi's nose and reprimanded: "Bold woman, the name of Lord Qianhu, can you call it casually? If you are a princess, I will be the master of the horse, hahaha, it's really funny!"
After Li Qi got up this morning, he went out in a hurry and didn't bring a sword. She was so angry at this time that she strode forward and raised her right hand to give the guard a slap:
"I'll kill you!"
The guard took a step back and did not show weakness: "You dare! Don't look at what kind of place this is? Captain Ding, do we want to take her down?!"
Ding Chunqiu waved his hand and said to Li Qi: "Girl, if you are really a princess, please give the token or princess jade pendant to Ding to see." ”
"This ......" Li Qi was speechless for a while, she said to herself that I have always been in casual clothes when I go out, who still brings those Rausch things!
"That's it......" Ding Chunqiu immediately said: "Xu Qianhu is busy with official business, and our subordinates don't dare to invite Lord Qianhu." If the girl doesn't mind, please follow Ding in, Lord Xu is in the official room of the thousand households at this time......"
After all, Ding Chunqiu is experienced in the rivers and lakes, and he privately speculated that the other party might really be a certain "pink confidant" of Xu Qianhu, and the so-called "princess" title is most likely the nickname of the two of them in private. Therefore, although Ding Chunqiu did not believe that Li Qi was the princess, he was willing to bring her to Xu Ke.
Seeing that Ding Chunqiu actually agreed to Li Qi's entry, although the guards were surprised, they didn't dare to have any objections when they saw Captain Ding make such an arrangement.
Li Qi had to nod, she said in her heart, I'll go in first and talk about it, and I'll settle accounts with you later!
So, Li Qi followed behind Ding Chunqiu, turned left and right all the way, passed through many buildings and several corridors, and finally came to the door of the thousand-household official house where Nangong was silent.
She followed Sister Yichen to practice Taoism, and her ear power was already excellent. At this time, I heard Nangong silently and Xu Ke hiding in the room and talking about Murong Huan, and I couldn't help but feel angry, so I didn't wait for Ding Chunqiu to knock on the door, just strode forward and pushed the door in.
Ding Chunqiu saw that Li Qi had broken into the official room of the thousand households like this, and in a panic, he hurriedly ran in.
Ding Chunqiu was flustered, and when he was thinking about how to explain to the two thousand household adults, he suddenly saw that the two adults had already bowed down in front of Li Qi, and each respectfully called the other party "Her Royal Highness the Princess". But he was even more panicked in his heart......
In the blink of an eye, Ding Chunqiu's heart was already like a lightning flash, recalling the process after Fang Cai met Li Qi by himself.
She ...... She really is a princess!"
"Still, it's okay, it's okay......"
