Your Majesty, he has a backache and brain fever

That night, Xia Moshi walked a long distance with his own strength and finally saw the person Xia Xuhuai said was looking for him, holding the piece of cloth that was two fingers wide, and carrying two lively little prey, just like Xia Xuhuai As told, Xia Moshi didn't mention Xia Xuhuai's existence to anyone, let alone that he met him today and sat down with him to chat for a long time.

As for the reason, it wasn't that he really wanted to hide something for Xia Xuhuai, but that he just didn't want Xia Xuhuai to be exposed to the eyes of the emperor and the princes so early. Silently counted all his imperial brothers.

On Xia Xuhuai's side, Xu Yang said worriedly: "My lord, are you sure that the Seventh Prince really won't tell you?"

"No." Xia Xuhuai replied confidently, "He is a very knowledgeable and interesting person, much more interesting than those old men."

If others knew who Xia Xuhuai was referring to in the list of those old men, they would probably be terrified, but Xu Yang had long been accustomed to the way his son said and acted, so he didn't even bat an eyelid. Didn't lift it up a little bit.

With a wave of Xia Xuhuai's hand, Xu Yang knew what the little master meant, so he sighed calmly and earnestly, and then resigned himself to changing the formation around him.

The palm of the left hand was turned upside down, and the right hand was stroking the part of the left sleeve where a piece of material was missing, muttering to himself: "Xia Moshi, Seventh Prince, not bad."

Xia Moshi naturally didn't know that he was praised behind his back by a word of unclear meaning, but this did not prevent him from paying attention to Xia Xuhuai secretly. At the same time, he also remembered a very important thing , or reminded him of an important person—Yao Minghe, Xia Xuhuai's right-hand man in his previous life.

As far as he knew, Yao Minghe was abducted by thieves when he was young, and was rescued by Xia Xuhuai inadvertently. That's why Yao Minghe was so loyal to Xia Xuhuai, so loyal that no matter what decision Xia Xuhuai made, Yao Minghe was able to follow him to the death without hesitation.

Xia Moshi despicably thought about it, if it was him who saved the life this time, would Yao Minghe be so loyal to his "trash snack"?

It's a pity that I was too useless in my previous life, and the manpower I could use was almost pitifully small. There was only such a little news. Once Yao Minghe accidentally drank too much, he only revealed a few words, and then With a bang, he fell straight down on the wine table.

So even if Xia Moshi had this dark idea of ​​cutting off the barbarian, he still couldn't know too much useful information in advance. He didn't know when and where Yao Minghe would encounter that incident, and Yao Minghe didn't have a family Being a nobleman, he has no idea where Yao Minghe's family lives at this moment, and he can't even remember Yao Minghe's appearance, let alone ask him to draw it.

Therefore, he only has one stupid method that is extremely inefficient, and that is to go out of the palace for a walk every day when he has nothing to do, and bring Shen Yunqi with him, and the two of them will wander around the streets and alleys in every corner of the capital. , often go out for a whole day, and can't come back until sunset.

It's also thanks to the image he has created for himself in the past two years that he loves to run outside and not do business properly, so no one thinks that Xia Moshi's behavior during this period is abnormal.

Just like this day after day of doing nothing, another season passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. There were nine ten-day examinations in three months, whether it was the Four Books and Five Classics, the Six Arts, or other assessments, and regardless of the quality of the assessment. Whether the difficulty is increasing or decreasing, Xia Moshi is firmly in the middle ranking.

By now, Emperor Qi An already understood Xia Moshi's plan very well. He was not without the strength to win the championship. He was clearly unwilling to win the championship but he was not willing to be too far behind others.

I can't tell what kind of mentality it is, probably because I am used to fighting, and I have seen too many sons and courtiers fighting for some things to get bloody and unscrupulous. Liked three points.

It was the beginning of June in the lunar calendar at this time, and Shangjing had become hot and dry. People like Xia Moshi, who like to stand in the bright sunshine, couldn't stand it, so they gradually reduced the number and duration of going out. What's more, during this period of time, because of the emperor's sudden and inexplicable appreciation for the seventh prince, it directly caused Xia Moshi's free space and time to drop significantly.

On this day, Xia Moshi happened not to take Shen Yunqi out, and was entrusted by Gu Yan to go to Ling'an Street in the south of the city to bring him a jar of bamboo sake that was said to have been buried for 20 years. In a small alley, I saw a young man who looked like Yao Minghe. The reason why he said he was similar was because Xia Moshi didn't have many chances to meet Yao Minghe in his previous life. After so many years, he had a vague impression of him. It's not bad.

So, with the thought of never missing the opportunity, Xia Moshi hurriedly followed behind quietly, like a man about to be a thief, sneaking and tiptoeing, unaware that there are other eyes staring at the front. A handsome young man.

So, when Xia Moshi had just pretended to be brave enough to step forward even at the risk of being treated as a psychopath, and had just patted the shoulder of the person suspected of being Shen Yunqi, a strange-smelling sack was placed under the hood, accurately In other words, it was two sacks, and they put them in one by one and beat them up. The wine jar in their hands shattered, and the mellow wine dripped all over the floor.

Well, he is now [-]% sure that this person is indeed Yao Minghe, his grandfather, didn't everyone say that the sixth day of June is a good day for everything, Xia Mo laughed angrily.

How come I didn't meet Yao Minghe sooner or later, but today I was too lazy to take Shen Yunqi and didn't expect to meet Yao Minghe by chance, but ended up running into the scene where Yao Minghe was kidnapped?

Now it's all right, the wine is broken, Shen Yunqi is not here, and he can't beat these five big and three rough gangsters, the scene of the hero saving the hero failed to be staged successfully, and he even got himself into it.

Just complaining to himself all the way, and at the same time, his mind kept turning back and forth, trying to find a way to get out of the two of them, but until they were carried to the destination, Xia Moshi didn't think of a surefire way. idea.

It wasn't until the sacks on the heads of the two were taken away that Xia Moshi finally discovered a glimmer of life - he saw an acquaintance, that is, Liu Zike, the eldest son of Jingzhaofu Yin.

The two people who tied them up gave these three or five helpless children a warning with ferocious eyes, and then left without a word, Xia Moshi reckoned, probably It's time to find a new target.

Among the five people, including Xia Moshi and Yao Minghe, the two youngest children must have been tired from crying. At this moment, they are leaning against the corner of the wall and falling asleep with their necks tilted. There are still mottled tears on their faces. Liu Zike, on the other hand, stared at Xia Moshi with a hostile gaze, as if he would not stop until he stared him out of a hole.

Seeing Xia Mo, he couldn't help but want to help his forehead. Isn't it just that he is overwhelmed every time he goes back to the exam? As for seeing him like an enemy who robbed his father?

Xia Moshi glanced at him, then turned to ask Yao Minghe: "What's your name, is there anyone else in the family?"

Liu Zike sneered coldly: "What time is this, and you still want to invite friends to make friends, you should think about how we can get out of this ghost place."

"Shut up." Xia Moshi turned his head and drank softly, "Did I ask you?"

Then I asked again: "What's your name?"

"My name is Yao Minghe, but this young master is right. Our top priority is to get out of here first." Eight and a half years old, but his soul is already in his 20s, so he is naturally calmer than everyone present.

Xia Moshi was overjoyed immediately, as long as this person is really Yao Minghe, then they can turn danger into good fortune today, because Xia Moshi knew that Yao Minghe would be fine, and he would become the leader of the humerus in the court in the future. Chen, but now it may be the difference between being rescued by oneself or waiting for Xia Moshi to come to rescue.

Different from Xia Moshi's calmness, Liu Zike continued to pour cold water: "You said you are not in a hurry, but tell me, what tricks do you have?"

Xia Moshi still ignored him, stood up slowly, walked to the window and stuck it on the wall to listen to the movement outside, then walked to the iron gate, looked outside the door, and found that they were tied up. The people here are really at ease with these children, and they don't even see a person who stayed behind to watch them. Well, it just made it easier for them to escape.

Xia Moshi turned around and looked back and forth between Liu Zike and Yao Minghe. Liu Zike felt uncomfortable and walked away. Xia Moshi had no choice but to walk towards Yao Minghe and motioned for him to step away from his boots. He took out a small dagger to help him cut the rope on his hands, and then Xia Moshi took the dagger and used the same method to untie the ropes from the hands of Yao Minghe and the two children sleeping in the corner. Liu Zike was still tied up like a twist.

Liu Zike, who stood on one side and watched the whole process: Damn it, Xia Moshi is too dishonest.

Seeing Xia Moshi still didn't intend to help him untie him, Yao Minghe wanted to speak for him several times but Xia Moshi changed the subject because he was not familiar with him, Liu Zike finally let go of his proud self-esteem, and quickly Said: "Didn't you see that I'm still tied up, come and help me untie it!"

"Young Master Liu, what did you say? You stood too far away, your voice was too low and your speech was too fast, so I didn't hear you."

Liu Zike had no choice but to jump straight forward a few steps, gritted his teeth and urged: "I said, please help the seventh prince to untie me."

Xia Moshi pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Liu doesn't like being tied up. Seeing you move away so far first, I thought you liked this posture quite a bit, so I planned to go back to see your father just like this. .”

I like your grandpa's!

Liu Zike replied with a fake smile: "Your Highness really likes to joke, haha."
