In the afternoon of the same day, Xuansi and I entered the capital and found an inn to stay in. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After eating, entering the room, Xuan Si closed the door and asked, "Our task is to infiltrate Li Hu's mansion, why did you miss this great opportunity like this?" I looked at Xuan Si's pretty face and said with a smile: "This is called wanting to capture the old man." I deliberately didn't know Li Hu's identity, and told Li Hu that I wanted to go to the capital to play. Although there are many people in this capital, with the ability of Li Hu Zhenbei Prince, it is not difficult to find us. This is also the reason why Li Hu didn't have to keep us. Starting tomorrow, as long as we play around in the capital, someone will naturally come to the door. ”

Xuan Si didn't ask much, opened the door, and went back to his room next door. Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Xuan Si and I finished breakfast early and went out to wander around. In the afternoon, when I came out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I noticed that someone was following us not far behind me, and I couldn't help but smile secretly. I quietly walked out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace with Xuan Si, and the man really followed from a distance. I happened to play all morning, a little tired, I and Xuan Si turned into the Tianxiang Tea House opposite the Ci'en Temple, went straight to the third floor, and asked for a private room. Cha Xiaoer served a pot of good tea, sent a few fresh pastries, and withdrew after bringing them to the door.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Xuan Si and I looked at each other and said, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, but it was the bald man with a cooked brass stick. Before the people came in, the laughter had already come in: "Sure enough, the two benefactors are here." Let me find it!"

I was deliberately stunned and said, "It turned out to be you! I don't know what to do with my brother and sister?"

The man laughed and said, "Villain Chang Bin." Yesterday, I was rescued by two benefactors, and my master failed to thank the two great kindnesses, and I have been thinking about it. When my master returned home, he ordered him to look for the two benefactors. said that if the two benefactors could not be invited to the house to thank them in person, the villain would not have to go back. ”

I was about to refuse, but Chang Bin "plopped" and knelt down. I hurriedly tried to help him up, and said, "How can this be done, Brother Chang, please get up quickly!" Chang Bin was motionless, clenched his fists and said: "The benefactor saved my master, so he naturally deserves it." Even if it is the life of the villain, it is saved by the benefactor. It is not an exaggeration to say that the benefactor is the reborn parent of the villain. If the benefactor does not agree to the villain, the villain will kneel here. ”

I smiled secretly in my heart, but I said, "Brother Chang, you should get up first! Such a big man, kneeling here, how unsightly!" Chang Bin still didn't move.

I pretended to be helpless and said, "Brother Chang, get up! As long as you agree to my request, I will agree to you." ”

Chang Bin was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Although Engong said, don't say one, there is no problem with how many there are." ”

"My request is that you are not allowed to call me Engong again. My name is Xuan Qi, you can call me Xiao Qi! I call you Brother Chang. This is the fourth sister of the family. If you say yes, get up. ”

Chang Bin was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, laughed, and said, "Then the villain is welcome! I have seen Miss Xiaosi and Brother Xiaoqi." "Xuan Si and I are busy with fists in return.

I saw that Chang Bin was also a bold person, and I was also a little happy in my heart, so I thought about inviting Chang Bin to sit first, but Chang Bin took my hand with laughter and said: "Little Seventh Brother, you are blaming me for being an elder brother, when you arrive in the capital, it is like going home." Let's go, my master is waiting for you and Miss Fourth at home. ”

I couldn't refuse, so I had to let Chang Bin pull me out, and Xuan Si followed closely. When he went out, he saw that the tea Xiaoer was still waiting on the side, Chang Bin took out a piece of silver and threw it over. The tea Xiaoer knew this Chang Bin, caught it, and said: "Thank you Chang Ye! Thank you Chang Ye!"

There were two sedan chairs waiting at the door of the teahouse, and I saw that the person who followed me and Xuansi before was also waiting on the side, but he wouldn't break it. I saw that the sedan chair only had two rides, and I took out the children of the rivers and lakes, how could I take the sedan chair, and insisted on walking with Chang Bin, but Chang Bin couldn't resist me, so I had to agree to let the sedan chair man go back first. The group headed towards the palace in the north of the town.

Along the way, knowing that Xuan Si and I first arrived in the capital, Chang Bin introduced the scenery of the capital to Xuan Si and me from time to time. When I didn't walk for a long time, I saw the Zhenbei Wangfu from a distance, and I saw the rows and rows in the high walls, which was extremely luxurious. In front of the palace door, I saw a good tall lintel, and the horizontal plaque on the door was written with four golden characters of "Zhenbei Wangfu", but it was the emperor's royal pen inscription.

I deliberately "huh" and asked, "Brother Chang, does your master live in this Zhenbei Wangfu?" Chang Bin laughed and hugged his fists and said: "My master is the prince of Zhenbei." so that the little seven brothers know. Before, my master knew that the little seven brothers were indifferent to fame and fortune, so he deliberately didn't let the little seven brothers be informed, for fear that the little seven brothers would not want to come. Big brother, I apologize to my little brother here. I let out an "oh" sound, and when I saw that I had arrived at the door, I didn't say anything more.

An old lady who was about the age of the ear came out with a few people, and was about to bow down from a distance, I hurriedly took a few steps forward, held it with both hands, and said, "How dare the boy be an old lady's gift." "That old lady is Li Hu's princess, Princess Xia.

Princess Xia was even more happy to see me knowing the etiquette so well, but she was no longer formal, and laughed and said, "The old body is no longer formal." The old husband is injured and can't greet the two benefactors in person, and I ask for forgiveness!" I hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Don't dare! The boy is young, how dare he be greeted by the old prince." Besides, the old prince is injured, so he should take care of himself. ”

Princess Xia smiled even more when she heard this, and her eyes were full of love. I couldn't help but be a little touched, I had never seen such kind eyes in my life, no, as if there had been one in the depths of my memory.

Chang Bin stepped forward and gave me and Princess Xia a brief introduction, and then introduced Xuansi. Xuan Si smiled slightly, and stepped forward to salute Princess Xia generously. Oh my God, I'm not mistaken? Xuan Si even laughed? The smile was so beautiful, like the rising sun, like the flowers of summer. I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Princess Xia was very happy, holding Xuan Si's hand, and couldn't stop praising it, as if there was no more beautiful girl than Xuan Si in the world. Xuan Si was also praised so much that his face turned red, and his cheeks were dizzy, as bright as the morning glow. I couldn't help but feel a little indignant in my heart, but did this Xuansi just give me a cold face?

Princess Xia briefly introduced Xuan Si and me to the people who came out together, but I had already seen a few of them yesterday. The coachman who made the long whip is the guard commander of the palace Lan Yun, known as the "silver whip guest" in the rivers and lakes; Fan Ye, the man with the knife, and the other two, like Chang Bin, are the four personal guards of Li Hu, the king of Zhenbei, all four of them have followed Li Hu for more than 20 years, and they are brothers, Chang Bin is the boss, he has been a monk in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, but he does not abide by the rules, he is a wine and meat monk, Shaolin Temple let him return to the vulgar, he likes to laugh the most on weekdays, and he also mixed a "laughing monk" on the rivers and lakes Fan Ye Xinger, is the descendant of the Five Elements Knife, and has the essence of the Five Elements Knife; the third is happy, but he looks like a scholar, with a strange face, and makes the judge double pen; the fourth Peng Li, as his name suggests, is tall and tall, and uses a pair of dozens of pounds of plate axes. But there is also a person I have never seen, and after being introduced, I learned that it was Lao Liu, the old housekeeper of the palace.

Xuan Si and I also stepped forward to greet each other, but the few people I met yesterday were also a little more enthusiastic. After the introduction, Princess Xia Lao took me with one hand and Xuan Si with the other, and strode towards the palace.

Along the way, I soon arrived at the main hall of the king's mansion, and after the guests and hosts sat down, I learned that Li Hu, the king of Zhenbei, was seriously injured and rested in the inner hall. Xuan Si and I must visit before, no matter what, Princess Xia was even more moved, so she led the way and went straight into the inner hall. That Li Hu lay down quietly, and his face was much more ruddy than yesterday.

Seeing me and Xuan Si coming in, Li Hu struggled to get up, but I held him down, so he had to give up. After chatting with Li Hu for a few words, everyone withdrew on the grounds of letting the old prince rest more.

Back in the main hall, the guests and hosts sat down, and Princess Xia instructed the maidservant to send fragrant tea, and there were several exquisite pastries. While the two sides were talking, they saw a servant pushing a four-wheeled cart slowly coming from outside the temple gate.
