Wuthering Heights

The heavy snow stopped, Dongfang Bai left, and everyone sent each other out of the inn, and Dongxue wrapped fifty taels of silver for Dongfang Bai to take with him.

Everyone also left the room and walked towards Wuthering Heights. There was a thick snow all over the ground, and everyone dismounted and walked slowly.

Twenty miles out of the city, up a hill, around a crop field, through a bamboo forest, to the sunset again came to a big village, Suojin Village.

Gong Ming stepped forward to ask the local farmers, this Wuthering Heights Villa is indeed here, just east of the village, the red-walled compound, the four big stone lions at the door, and the black door house with copper nails.

Everyone searched according to the words, and saw a magnificent mansion.

Ren Tianqi was busy getting dressed and came to the door first with Dongxue Gong Ming and the others.

I saw the red high wall, the black gatehouse, four big red octagonal palace lamps hanging high, a large gate and four small doors, a bowl of thick golden copper rings on the door, four stone lions on both sides, the door downstairs of the high gate was closed, and only two side doors were opened. Several big men in green clothes and black boots, carrying short knives at their waists, stood in the gatehouse, very majestic and mighty, and were closely watching the pedestrians in front of the door.

Ren Tianqi took a few steps forward and raised his legs up the stairs.

A big man had already caught up and blocked the way.

Seeing the salute, Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "Ren Tianqi in Xia Guangling, I have something important to come to meet the owner of your family, please report." ”

Ren Tianqi presented the prayer post with both hands.

The person who came took the post with both hands, stretched out his head to look at the people behind him, and said with a smile: "Please wait for Ren Gongzi, and the villain will report to my master." ”

The man turned around and ran into the courtyard.

In a moment, the main gate opened, and more than a dozen people came out of the courtyard. More than forty years old a year, a chic black-bearded man, dressed in a splendid yellow robe, with a jade belt around his waist, he looked up and saw Ren Tianqi hurriedly stepping forward, arching his hand to see Ren Tianqi, and respectfully inviting everyone to enter the hospital.

Entering the living room, Ren Tianqi took out the Zhengnan Wang token object from his arms and handed it over, and was about to ask Dongxue to take out the gold medal of the prince.

The owner of the other party, Lang Shihui, waved his hand, returned the token of the prince, and said with a smile: "I can trust Ren Xianggong in Xia, and I have also seen Dongxue Gu in the past! It's just that the Winter Snow Girl hasn't seen her for a few years, and she has grown taller and fatter!"

Everyone was curious, and they couldn't help but look at each other, looking at the winter snow one by one. When did the winter snow come to Jiangnan again?

Dongxue was stunned for a moment when she said a word to the owner of Lang Zhuang, and she was inexplicable.

Seeing that Ren Tianqi and the others were not clear, the owner of Lang Zhuang laughed, and smiled at Ren Tianqi: "You take a good look at the owner of this village, have you ever remembered it, do you have an impression?"

Ren Tianqi wondered, raised his eyes and looked at the owner of Lang Zhuang carefully, but still couldn't remember.

The owner of Lang Zhuang covered his face with his hand and covered it slightly, and then let go of his hand, his face had changed, and he covered his mouth and said: "Thank you two for saving your life today, thank you for your great kindness, and you will report it later!"

Ren Tianqi suddenly woke up, hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the owner of Lang Zhuang who was in the Ethereal Peak, what a coincidence." I wonder if the owner has ever recovered?"

The owner of Lang Zhuang nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, the owner of this village is no big deal." However, it is still the same sentence, and the great grace is not grateful!"

Tianqi said with a smile: "The owner of the village is polite, this is just a gesture, why worry about it! Not to mention that you are the old man of the old prince, and the younger generation should serve yourself." ”

The owner of Lang Zhuang laughed, got up and walked around in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the princess, don't hide it from everyone, the younger brother of the prince of the south of the country, and he will be happy." ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, they looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, and they all looked back at Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi thought about it in a blink of an eye, yes, if it weren't for the old prince's trust, he would definitely not pay tens of thousands of taels of silver for the old prince;

Everyone also hurriedly got up and saw the prince.

The prince stretched out his hand one by one to invite.

Ren Tianqi took out the six-bat peony jade pendant that the owner of Lang Zhuang had added, presented it with both hands, and said, "What the prince loves, please take it back." The younger generation can't accept it, and the younger generation will lose it!"

The prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Save the life of this king, this little object is still good to accept, it is not a respect, just a thought." It's just that that hero doesn't know who the master is, and when can he see each other again as he wishes to thank him!"

Ren Tianqi smiled, thanked the prince again, and had to accept the jade pendant.

Dong Xue said with a smile: "The little girl knows, you are the shadow prince of our Dajin Kingdom, the prince of Junan." ”

The prince nodded, swept his beard, and said with a smile: "Yes, even you know this, you have long ears, this is the great secret of my Dajin Kingdom! But you can't talk nonsense when you're outside, in case there's an ear next door!" King Ju Nan said with a serious face.

Everyone smiled and nodded.

Everyone saw that this owner of Lang Zhuang was actually the brother of the old prince, and the relationship was self-contained, and suddenly there was no such restraint and depression, and it was much easier to be active.

Ren Tianqi didn't feel good in his heart, thinking that Dajin Guo had robbed half of the Han family, especially not satisfied, greedy and immortal, still in the heart of the filter faction of the emperor's brother lying on the side of the Song capital, spying at night, but the Song court was living a drunken dream of death, rotten and decadent, and did not want to forge ahead, this positive and negative is very different.

King Junan sat for a while chatting with everyone, and the people below reported that a local official had come to pay respects.

King Junan got up and departed.

After a while, King Ju Nan came back with a smile, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was busy telling the butler to hurry up and send the banquet.

Soon the banquet was set up, and King Junan invited everyone to sit at the table, and also called a few subordinates who were good at drinking to sit with him. Everyone drank merrily.

King Junan came and went in a hurry for two consecutive days, and it was rare to show his face only during the banquet. There were not many words during the banquet, and there was not a word about the withdrawal, the marriage of the county lord, and Ren Tianqi's affairs in the Dajin Kingdom.

Everyone knows that this is a critical place for the Great Golden Kingdom to be placed in the south, and it is not a place where everyone can wander casually. Everyone had nowhere else to go except to stay in the guest room, and they were very bored and bored.

After the meal, everyone gathered in Ren Tianqi's room.

Ma Benqing shouted: "Second master, what the hell is this, I hid in the room all day, and I was about to suffocate to death." I just want to go out for a walk, can't I?"

Tang Shengzhi glanced at Ren Tianqi and said: "I also think something is wrong here, is the owner of Lang Zhuang too emotionally changed, it won't be that he doesn't have a lot of money at hand, it's inconvenient to speak, or what's the matter, it's weird to come up and down in the village these two times." Could it be that something can't happen?"

Xiao San looked at everyone, and then at Ren Tianqi, his eyes widened, he opened his mouth to speak, shook his head again, and one of them lowered his head and muttered: "This doesn't make sense, won't you believe us?"

Ren Tianqi's heart was also uncertain, and suddenly saw Gong Ming so mysterious, and said: "There are no outsiders here, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, pretend to be reserved for you!"

Xiao San smiled, stepped forward and said in Ren Tianqi's ear: "Master, how can I see that the King of Junan in this house is an impostor, is it really that the King of Junan has gone out and is not at home or has not come back at all and does not know about our arrival!"

Ren Tianqi nodded and looked up at Gong Ming.

Xiao San also stared at Ren Tianqi.

After being reminded by Gong Ming, the unresolved knots in Ren Tianqi's heart have been further affirmed, yes, his group came suddenly, and there was no warning; this place where the prince of Junan lives---- Wuthering Heights has its own responsibility for the Dajin Kingdom in the Song Dynasty to explore the national situation, buy the bureaucrats, and purchase the things needed by the Dajin State, and it must be busy in every way and extremely secret. Private matters are small, but national wars are great. The prince of Junan understands the importance of it.

Thinking about it, Ren Tianqi's heart suddenly brightened, swept away the gloom on his face, and said with a smile: "Everyone has not had a good rest since he came back, taking advantage of the prince's immaculateness, I will wait for a few more times in the village, and then ask the housekeeper to take leave to go around and recuperate, isn't it also a good thing?"

Everyone wants to come.

Late at night, in addition to the Dajin Kingdom warriors on duty in the village, they were still patrolling around, and most of the people in the village were resting.

The housekeeper in the village saw that the lights in the guest room were all down, especially today, when Ren Tianqi was greedy for a few more glasses at the banquet at night, and drank too much, so he went back to the room with the help of Dongxue early, which made the housekeeper very satisfied. But in order not to leak, before lying down and going to bed, the housekeeper still came out to inspect everywhere, and when he saw that he was fine, he walked to the room with sleepy eyes.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a man coming down from the house.

The official family was startled, but he didn't feel sleepy. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the prince of Junan, and he hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "The prince is back? Have you eaten? Do you want to pass on your life?"

Prince Ju Nan smiled slightly, didn't make a sound, and nodded.

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed down in front of the trotting ground in front of him to lead the way, and said as he walked: "Back to the prince, the master of the horse is the same as usual, they are all living in the guest room, and they have not taken half a step out of the threshold. It's just that during the dinner in the evening, the master of the horse proposed that he needed to go to Suzhou City, saying that he wanted to purchase some things that the county lord wanted. The little one secretly asked Ning Meng to approve and agreed. ”

The prince of Junan let out an "oh" and said, "This king is a little sleepy today, so you can pick up a brief talk." ”

The housekeeper turned around and smiled: "The prince's daughter's body still hopes that the prince will take care of himself." Your health is a small blessing, and it is the blessing of our big gold. If this child in the south had one-tenth of the hard work of the virtuous prince, his Song court would not be so depressed, and the people complained!"

The butler's mouth still stopped fanning.

Sweet talk is always something for everyone. Prince Junan nodded.

The housekeeper said: "The right attendant of the household department took this month's silver, saying that the imperial court is discussing the establishment of the post of Xuzhou pacification envoy, but the candidate has not yet been decided, and I don't know whether it is a fictitious title or a real position;

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War sent a new city defense map of Haozhou and a map of the garrisons of Haozhou, Yang, and Tongzhou, especially pointing out that the military horses of Tongyang and Yangzhou were not only seriously lacking, but also mainly light infantry, and there were not many horses;

In addition, the Suzhou Prefecture sent people to send the tributes of each of them this month, 23,000 taels of silver and 3,500 taels of gold.

Also, what surprised the villain even more today was that the Murong family sent someone to send a gift list and a letter. The letter was placed on the case of the prince's study. The little one knows that the Murong family has never been in contact with us, although he is very polite to our Dajin, and he has never begged us if he is polite in case of trouble. At the moment, if it is not a New Year's Day, what will make it come to give gifts, the little one is puzzled. ”

The prince of Junan snorted.

The prince of Junan finished his meal.

The butler accompanied him back to the study and bowed back.

The prince of Junan sat on the chair and frequently looked at the furnishings in the study.

The study is very simple, a wooden table, a chair, four wooden cabinets, a row of bookshelves, and two calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

The prince of Junan let out a long sigh, as if he was very tired, and he was about to reach for a stack of papers on the case. Suddenly, I heard a slight sound of footsteps coming towards me outside.

The prince of Junan was startled, looked up and looked around, and saw that the wooden cabinet could just accommodate a person, so he hurriedly flew up, grabbed a swing on the beam, and the whole person got into the wooden cabinet, lay down, stared at the ceiling, held his breath, and remained motionless.

Two men came in the door. I could hear that a person was sitting on a chair, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if he was very tired and tired.

I heard a person say: "Lord Wang, do you want to send the housekeeper over? Send someone to get something to eat?"

I heard a man say: "Don't be busy with others, you can quietly go and get some ready-made food and drinks, and if someone wants to ask, say that you are hungry." ”

Then he heard a man answer, got up, pushed the door and went out.

One coughed slightly, flipping through the scrolls.

The man hiding on the top of the cabinet saw that there was no movement in the room, and leaned in gently to take a look. I saw that under the light, there was another prince in the south who was immersed in reading all kinds of books and letters on the case.

The man hiding on the top of the cabinet sighed and gently shrank back to lie down.

It wasn't until the third watch in the middle of the night that the prince, who was reading at night, left his body and went back to his room to rest.

The man hiding on top of the cabinet had already sneaked out of the cabinet and sneaked out of the room while it was dark.
