shark [rebirth]

Xu Jin didn't talk much all the time, while the merman has a singing voice that captivates the soul, the merman is a hundred times better than that.His voice was low and hoarse, and it was obvious that his body was severely damaged.

Pei Heng's hands did not stop, he cleaned the area around the wound and began to apply medicine: "'Qingjiang walks on water, Nanlu walks on bamboo', the two people you chased just now have a lot of background in terms of lightness kung fu."

Xu Jin said lightly: "Those two are martial servants in the palace."

Pei Heng wrapped the most serious wound on Xu Jin's left waist with gauze, and wrapped it three times around his waist. The faint scent of medicine on his body got into Xu Jin's nose. A scent of crabapple flowers and trees.

He leaned on the edge of the table, leaned slightly, and said to Xu Jin face to face: "Your kung fu, fighting footwork should belong to the Northern Wu School, and the dagger moves are the result of several schools. If I guess correctly, you can choose any one." You are good at using weapons, not to mention empty-handed knives, I am afraid that more than one kind of kung fu is incorporated into each move."

Pei Heng's slightly raised phoenix eyes reflected Xu Jin's face, "Who taught you?"

Facing Pei Heng's approach, Xu Jin did not hide back, he said: "The Palace of No Name."

Not long ago, Pei Heng heard the words "Wu Ming Dian" for the first time.

It is said that the Wuming Temple is very similar to the Sandian Division directly under the emperor's command, even more rigorous than the Sandian Division's methods of training warriors. It has crossed rivers and lakes and touched temples. No wonder Pei Huan personally ordered to investigate this matter.

"How could you be controlled by them?" Pei Heng felt strange.

"They have a way to suppress my spiritual power." Xu Jin recalled that time when the sun was out of sight. Although it was not long, his passivity was unprecedented.

"Why did they torture you?" Pei Heng asked.

Xu Jin slightly tilted his head, a little disdainful: "Because you are not obedient enough."

The people in Wumingdian discovered that Xu Jin learned everything very quickly, but he couldn't learn the word "submit", so he had to use both soft and hard tactics.

The sea monster besieging and killing Xu Jin was caused by the spell that Wumingdian chased into the formation.

"What was your original plan?" Pei Heng said.

Xu Jin just shook his head.He didn't plan to go back to Kaimeng's place of practice, because of his spiritual consciousness, almost all the spiritual creatures in Yunfu Sea Territory were afraid of him, and the mermaid who was most similar to him there did not dare to approach him, so he didn't have any thoughts.

When Pei Heng stood very close in front of him, Xu Jin gently grabbed his hand, it was very pale and beautiful, Xu Jin held it in his hand and looked carefully.

He thought of what Pei Heng said about the fragility of mortal life, and the owner of this hand looked weak, but contained fortitude inside, like porcelain, hard and fragile.

Xu Jin didn't want him to be broken.

Pei Heng looked up at him, smiled, fixed the gauze, put down the things in his hands, took a towel and wiped the ointment on his hands: "Little one, go to bed early."

Watching Pei Heng out of the yard, a young servant stepped forward and said, "Young Master, if you have something to do, just tell us, Young Master asked us to wait outside the courtyard, so we won't disturb the Young Master."

Xu Jin felt drowsy. He looked at the dagger on the table, looked at the moon on the porch, and finally turned back to the room.

Pei Heng returned to the study, stood by the window and looked at the same moon for an unknown amount of time.

Jin Yu came in, and he handed the imperial envoy order and documents to Jin Yu: "I won't leave for a while, let someone arrange it, and send a message to Shen Zhan."

Jin Yu took it and read the emperor's secret edict: "The number of spirit stones produced in Laizhou Ling Mine has been reported to the imperial court to decrease year by year... Among the important officials in Laizhou government are the old generals of the Sun family and the disciples of the old Zaifu. My son will investigate this matter. , it is unavoidable to confront the Sun family, I am afraid that His Majesty's intentions..."

Two years ago, Pei Heng's tiger talisman was returned to the emperor, and the party of relatives headed by the Sun family became more aggressive in the court.

Pei Heng once led the Zhaowu Xuanjia to fight in the east and west. The countries in the western regions have been conquered by the Zhaowu camp. The tribes in the northern border have not committed any crimes for many years. The northern camp has guarded the northern border for many years.

Now that the little emperor has grown up, there are countless mouths around him, no one knows whether he is afraid of this uncle in his heart.

If the emperor had long distrusted Pei Heng, then letting Pei Heng handle this case would push him to the forefront.

"No matter what the emperor thinks, you can do whatever you want." Pei Heng said calmly, "Zhaowuying can only stand by Dayan's side, but I want to stand by Dayan and A Huan."

Jin Yu was full of persuasion and remonstrance, and finally swallowed it, and took the order to retreat.

The next day, before dawn, Yujia set off to return to the imperial capital Jiangling.

Looking around, along the streets and alleys, the tide-like crowd spread out for nine miles, and soldiers opened a path in the middle of the crowd.

"His Majesty sets off—"

The chief eunuch shouted loudly, the gates of Shanglin Palace were opened one after another, the whips rang several times, and the guard of honor came out continuously.The banners and banners are colorful and colorful, rising in the wind, and a group of people and horses ended their east tour in a mighty manner.

As the emperor's chariot passed by, people bowed down one after another, from near to far, like a dark wave, shouting long live.

Pei Heng calmly stood among the crowd, sending Pei Huan off respectfully.

In the coastal city, the people stayed together for a long time, watching the backs of the chariots and horses still discussing, Pei Heng turned around and walked away slowly through the crowd.

This morning, Xu Jin was disturbed by commotion outside.

Laizhou is near the sea, and in the early morning of late spring, there is a cool and humid breeze when you go out. The sun is clear, and the servant took Xu Jin for a stroll around the house.

This house has been around for some time, with blue bricks and black tiles, simple and elegant, with lush flowers and trees and potted plants, light garden scenery, a bookish atmosphere in the mansion, the owner of the house has a certain status, low-key and simple, the only three-story building is a library .

Xu Jin just looked at it casually, not because he was not interested, but because the house was really noisy. From the front hall to the backyard, many people rushed in and out, strong men carried things into each yard, and craftsmen carried large and small pieces tools to repair the house.

The craftsmen and servants were talking loudly, and the jingling of the heavy objects was noisy, and the noise filled the house in the early morning of spring. When Xu Jin woke up, he thought the house would be demolished.

"Young master, give way, look at your feet."

"Be careful of getting the young master's clothes dirty."

The servant took him to find Pei Heng, and the two passed the bricklayer who carried the ladder, the large stones that the four of them carried together on the corridor, and squeezed past the bustling house servants in the yard and the gardener who moved the green banyan potted plants Almost impatiently, Xu Jin climbed up the eaves to take a shortcut.

Jin Yu was checking the repair work with the housekeeper at the door of the side room at the back of the hall. When he met Xu Jin, he smiled and said hello: "Master, are you looking for your son? It's in the front hall."

Xu Jin walked around to the front hall, the south cypress wood carving doors were wide open, the morning light from the porch streamed into the threshold, Pei Heng was sitting on the seat in a frost-colored robe, holding a folding fan in front of him.

The tables and chairs in the room were made of rosewood, servants also came in and out with tea and water, several middle-aged men were sitting or standing in front of him, talking around Pei Heng.

Seeing Xu Jin, Pei Heng waved to him, Xu Jin was not polite, went straight in, and sat on the seat next to him across the red sandalwood carved flower table. He was dressed in black, with a charming and indifferent face, which was enough Rich young master.

A middle-aged man in a well-dressed man cupped his hands with a pleasant expression: "This young master has an outstanding demeanor."

Pei Heng smiled and said: "There is no one in the family, just the two of us."

Feeling baffled, Xu Jin raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Heng.

The liveliness of the mansion is very strange to him, and it is indescribably comfortable. He still doesn't know that this is the smell of fireworks in the world.

The man in the fancy dress nodded, without further questioning Xu Jin, he said, "Mr. Shen is also a nostalgic person, the news in the mansion is to restart the business?"

After hearing this, Xu Jin thought to himself, so his surname is Shen.

A worker moved in a big jagged stone with a beech base, which was bright red in color, and moved it into the hall. Pei Heng pointed to a place and put it down.

Pei Heng smiled lightly: "That's not it. Now that I'm back, the jade and jewelry business will still be reopened. I will still rely on everyone to take care of me from now on."

The guests congratulated each other.

The next guest got up, and presented several mahogany and mother-of-pearl wooden boxes containing gifts: "Mr. Shen is busy today, and my master ordered to come and see it first. He will come to pay a visit in person some other day. I will take my farewell first."

The guests got up to leave, Xu Jin tasted the tea in the cup, and by the way got up and sent them off with Pei Heng.

He was standing in the vestibule, and the stones that had just been moved in on the ground were waiting to be released, with different textures and sizes under the sun.

"What are these?" Xu Jin asked.

Among the scattered large stones, Pei Heng stood tall and tall, as if a fairy had been transformed from the stones.

He closed the folding fan in his hand, and with the fan, he tapped a big jagged, dark-colored rock beside him, and then pointed to the one in front of Xu Jin: "This is jadeite, that's Dian jade, the gray skin on the outside is ugly, cut it." When it is polished, it is like the bracelets and hairpins on women's hands."

Pei Heng took his shoulders and led him back to the living room: "It's gray here, go in and rest."

Xu Jin never knew Pei Heng's name, nor his identity.

From the conversation of welcome and send, Xu Jin learned that this is Shen's house in Laizhou, and Pei Heng is the "son of Shen's family", named Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan, there is a real person, there is no one else in his family, he left his hometown when he was young, and now he is Pei Heng's assistant, but at this time he himself is in northern Xinjiang, taking care of military affairs for Pei Heng.

Holding the imperial order, Pei Heng was ordered to stay in Laizhou.Laizhou is not his territory, the word Prince Rui is a living target, even if he stays in Laizhou just to visit brothels, he will startle the snake.

He basically didn't show his face during this east tour, so he was close to the water and directly borrowed this identity.

The mansion was so busy that there were lots of people flying around. In the front hall, the copper beast eight-legged censer was burning with incense, and the smoke was curling up. When tea and refreshments were served, Pei Heng just sat lazily, Sitting on the right seat in the main hall, it is like a treasure of a town house.

He fanned the folding fan slowly in his hand, lightly tasting the big red robe in the porcelain cup, chatting with Xu Jin from time to time, and "asking Jin Yu" when the servant asked for instructions, and Xu Jin wanted to go out to see what Jin Yu was up to. Heng stopped someone who insisted on wasting time with him: "Jin Yu? He's working, what's so interesting, sit down and drink tea."

The sufferer Jin Yu passed by, and couldn't help but burst out: "Shopkeeper Shen, it's still okay to pick a few stones, right?"

Pei Heng propped his forehead, half-closed his eyes: "It's so hot outside, I have a headache."

Jin Yu looked at his pale face and weak body, sighed bitterly and left.

There were no visitors at noon, so Jin Yu finally got away in a hurry, and the three of them had dinner together in the side hall. There were only sporadic noises in the house, and it was temporarily quiet.

Jin Yu held the account book and gave Pei Heng a brief report: "There used to be a lot of jade blanks in Shen's treasury, are you still buying from outside now?"

Pei Heng said: "You can figure it out, just don't defeat his family."

Jin Yu is worried about Shen Zhan who is thousands of miles away, but Shen Zhan himself has never been back, and he doesn't care about the property of the old house.

Jin Yu said: "Master, Master Xu Jin sat in the living room all morning, how did you introduce him to others?"

Pei Heng said casually: "Let's talk about family members."

Jin Yu was silent for a while and said: "My lord, family members... can have many meanings."

Pei Heng's long and narrow eyes flickered for a moment: "Or is it my son?"

Xu Jin looked at him with a half smile but not a smile, his black eyes were cold.

This time Jin Yu didn't let him make the decision, settled down by patting the table, and told the outside world that Xu Jin was Pei Heng's cousin.

As a result, there was a "Mr. Shen Zhan" who was expensive and difficult to serve, a "cousin Shen Zhan" who was beautiful and rarely showed up, and Jin Yu who was busy every day.

In just a few days, the Shen family was renovated amidst the hustle and bustle that gradually subsided, and the jade and jewelry shop was also reopened along the way.

The most prosperous street in Dongmou County is Guanhai Street. From east to west, the plaques sprinkled with gold and red lacquer are more and more decent, and the thin poles are hung in front of the shop door. The one with the word "tea" is the teahouse. "Dang" is a pawn shop, and there are everything in wine shops and cloth houses.

The three-storey pavement of the No. 16 house from the east end of the street was completed at the same time as Shen’s house. It was just in time for the auspicious day when the completion was completed. Going up, the red silk is pulled and the firecrackers are set off, and the shop of the Shen family reopens.

The big shopkeeper "Shen Jiagongzi" only entered the store on the opening day and wandered around. "Shopkeeper Shen Da" nodded and said "Okay", eyebrows sank, stretched out his left index finger, and pointed to the lucky jade toad placed in the center of the store, and let the Shuoyun Lake Songquan Mountain, which was replaced by Miletta sapphire, Scene decorations, and then went back home, never set foot in the store again.

No matter in the store or in the mansion, Jin Yu and the housekeeper of Shen's mansion are all in charge of counting the purchase of seeds and materials, asking prices in inventory, preparing gifts for favors, and keeping accounts of Shen's mansion expenses.

Jin Yu is a plain-eyed scribe, dressed in a plain scribe gown, he knows everything, and yesterday he led someone to reorganize the books in the Shen Zhai's library, every volume was checked and placed by him.

Jin Yu is very powerful, and Pei Heng is a beautiful and prodigal son in sharp contrast, and he never manages the business by himself.

Of course, Xu Jin didn't know that Pei Heng's real name was Pei Heng, but Shen Zhan.

On the morning of the second day after the opening of the jade shop, Pei Heng leaned against the beauty in the back garden to bask in the sun. The beauty was placed under an open pavilion with four corners. The pavilion was in the middle of the lake in the back garden of the Shen residence. There is a jade belt trail with a width of one person, straight as a line.

He was dressed in a frost-colored cloud brocade robe, with half-closed phoenix eyes, and there was a maid beside him, Jin Yu was reporting his progress, when Xu Jin came, Jin Yu said kindly, "Morning, Second Young Master."

Pei Heng opened his half-closed eyes, with a stroke of ink on his eyelashes, and saw Xu Jin smiled: "It's just in time, I should change your medicine yesterday, I was so busy that I forgot."

Xu Jin was a little dazzled by his smile, remembering how he looked on the brocade couch in front of the screen when they first met.

Jin Yu sneered: "Is busy spending time and drinking too busy?"

Xu Jin knew that he was going out to drink with his sick body on his shoulders again, and it was not easy for Shen Da to be the shopkeeper.

Pei Heng opened the medicine box handed by the maid, asked Xu Jin to lie on the beauty's side, and changed Xu Jin's medicine, while the rest of the people retreated from the Huxin Pavilion.

Xu Jin lay on the back of the cool and soft beauty, he is a shark demon, he naturally likes places near the water, the wind blows over the water, and blows into the pavilion head-on, he listened to Pei Heng and Jin Yu coming and going, his eyes gradually closed .

The servants withdrew, Jin Yu stopped reading the account book, and said with his hands behind his back: "Your Majesty will return to Beijing soon."

Pei Heng gave a "hmm" and said, "I can go to Jiangling after the fifteenth day of this month."

Pei Heng has been thinking for the past few days that the imperial envoy might not be able to mobilize the troops of the Jiangzhou army, and the case in Laizhou must involve local dignitaries, let alone the state troops, he only brought twenty Xuanjia guards with him, how could he Empty glove white wolf.

After Pei Heng changed Xu Jin's medicine, Xu Jin simply took advantage of this beauty.

He was recovering recently, he was quite lethargic, and he felt drowsy again under the warm sunlight. He was half asleep and half awake, with his hands resting on the edge of the couch, just touching Pei Heng's fingertips.

Pei Heng got up to leave, but Xu Jin held his hand, feeling that the man was silent for a while, and finally sat down beside him without leaving.

The rain stopped for three or two days, the sun was out in the afternoon, and the late spring was long, the spiritual power had not yet been freed from the restraint, and he could not practice. Xu Jin had nothing to do, and walked aimlessly in the mansion.

Unknowingly, he still entered Pei Heng's courtyard, the mansion was extremely quiet today, there were not many servants, and no one stopped him.

Xu Jin smelled a smell of medicine, which was very similar to Pei Heng's breath, but much stronger and bitter.

The corridor was twists and turns, and the trees in the courtyard were deep. Following the scent of the medicine, he walked unimpededly to the outside of the study window. Through the half-opened sash, he saw Pei Heng lying on the couch inside, the same as when we first met, with his eyes closed and his face like a crown. Yu, fell asleep quietly.

Xu Jin was a little lost in thought, stood outside the window and watched for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Pei Heng's breathing was too slow, he was not sleeping, but unconscious.
