When Cao Yue went there with a dark face, the supervisor of ceremonies grabbed a young eunuch as soon as he arrived at Zheng Dayun's yard and asked in a harsh tone, "Where is your Eunuch Zheng?"

The little eunuch smiled meaningfully: "Master Cao came to pick up Eunuch Zheng so early?"

"Get out!!! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart." Cao Yue was so angry that he wanted to wash the Supervisor of Ceremonies with blood. He blushed anxiously and said, "Tell him to get out!" This moment is a torment for him, and after coming this trip, there will definitely be more rumors and gossips tomorrow.

The little eunuch didn't dare to laugh anymore.Mr. Cao lost his temper so much, the two of them had a quarrel, right?Afraid of being angered, he explained tremblingly: "Duke Zheng announced that he went back to the house on a half-day vacation, and he will come to the Yamen early in the morning. Didn't he tell you, my lord?"

Cao Yue let go of the little eunuch, turned around and walked out quickly.

I'm afraid he betrayed his country in his previous life!Otherwise, how could it be so unlucky to have something to do with Zheng Dayun?The most terrible thing is that no one else can read the books of Zhu's family, and there is no way to ask the other eunuchs to pass them on. He has to go to Zheng Dayun's house.

wipe!Why don't you just kill Zheng Dayun while delivering the brochures?Zheng Dayun is not dead, and if he continues to be so involved, he will be laughed at if he is not told, I am afraid that he will die alone.

Cao Yue also had a good time in his mind.Without the master's will, he would not kill anyone.

But to really kill Zheng Dayun...

Cao Yue could already imagine the scene of everyone comforting him in mourning, and the emperor might order him to organize the funeral for Zheng Dayun, who had no father, mother, child or daughter.wipe! ! !

In the evening, when it was approaching the time to be on duty, all the people in the Prison of Li came out of the public room, and there were people coming and going.

Cao Yue walked out quietly and stridingly, after all, he couldn't avoid the eyes of everyone's gossip.

"Master Cao is here to find Eunuch Zheng?"

"Well! I'm here to send something according to the emperor's order." Cao Yue explained patiently at the beginning.

"You two are too tired, didn't you separate in the morning?"

He wanted to curse.What does it mean to separate in the morning?He didn't live with Zheng Dayun again.

What frightened him the most was meeting the subordinates who came to handle errands in the Zhenfusi Yamen.

"Hey, Boss. Why are you here? Didn't you enter the palace to face the saint?" Jin Yiwei who bumped into Cao Yue was startled at first, and then immediately revealed the kind of meaning that a supervisor of rituals would have when he saw Cao Yue Smile: "Oh... tsk tsk tsk... so affectionate! Boss and Eunuch Zheng are indeed our role models!"

Cao Yue stopped the talkative Jin Yiwei, avenged his personal revenge, and said: "After you finish your work in the Rites Supervisor, go to the prison to try the few prisoners arrested today after working hard at night!"

"Boss... I just stayed up all night yesterday..."

Cao Yue ignored him, and with a cold snort, he lightly tapped his toes to the ground—flying up to the wall of the Supervisor of Rituals.

He is really afraid of meeting someone again!

Zheng Dayun soaked in the steaming hot spring and closed his red eyes with enjoyment.

For the past few days, in order to seize the affairs of the family and the father-in-law's mansion, he has been in the supervisor of ceremonies for food and lodging.After finally returning home from work, the most enjoyable thing is to take a hot spring bath in the back of the private house to relieve fatigue. He has to go back to the Yamen after a while. Godfather Tang is sick and is being raised in the palace. He and a few brothers can only worry about it, especially beware of Meng Delai.

Why did the godfather, Eunuch Tang, recuperate in the small courtyard of the Qianqing Palace instead of going back to his private house outside the palace?Because being sick is fake, being poisoned is real, and it is safest to be in the Qing Palace.

The East Factory has started to make big moves, and they can't sit still.

Zheng Dayun picked up a handful of water and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to wash away his fatigue.After rubbing his face, he suddenly felt that there was someone standing on the bank behind him, and a huge black shadow enveloped his head...

Godfather was poisoned by someone from Dongchang just now, could it be that...

Zheng Dayun stood up abruptly, and threw a splash of water at the black shadow behind him, trying to escape while the assassin was blinded by the water.He is physically disabled, and he is not used to having other people around when he soaks in the hot springs. Right now, there is no way for the assassin to sneak into the mansion even to ask for help.

"Zheng Dayun!" Cao Yue wiped off the water on his face, looked down at the clothes soaked by the hot spring water, and tried his best to resist the urge to draw his sword and ended up Zheng Dayun. "Are you sick?"

"Cao Yue?" Zheng Dayun stood in the waist-deep spring pool, shyly covering his chest with his hands. "You're the one who's sick, right? Sneaking in to watch me take a shower, are you crazy? Have you ever seen a man watch you? Pervert!"

"Are you a man?" Cao Yue took out the brochure given by Emperor Ming Cheng from his arms and said, "The emperor ordered me to give you something. Do you think you are willing to come when you are full? I'm afraid my eyes will be dirty." okay!"

"Cao Yue! Be careful what you say!" Zheng Dayun clutched his chest tightly and shouted angrily, "Don't think that our eunuchs are easy to bully."

"It's up to me to say that! I'm the commander of the second grade. Your godfather Tang Huaili should be polite when he sees me. What kind of onion are you?" Cao Yue threw the booklet on a dry stone on the bank, Impatiently said: "The things ordered by the emperor have been brought to you, and you should take them away. But seeing how grand your house is, be careful not to be greedy, and don't fall into the hands of the master!"

Zheng Da was so lucky that he gasped heavily, unable to speak at all.

Cao Yue gave him a contemptuous look, and his feet flew up the courtyard wall.

Zheng Dayun soaked in the hot spring angrily for a while, and suddenly felt a dark shadow falling behind him, he turned impatiently and said, "Isn't it over... is it?" He opened his mouth wide, and the expression on his face instantly changed from disgust to fear.

The real assassin is here!

The three of them, dressed in ordinary clothes, were so rampant that they didn't even cover their faces. It seemed that they were going to kill him.

Zheng Dayun took two steps back in the water, his face pale with fright.

"Come here!" Zheng Dayun yelled in vain, he knew that it would be too late for someone to arrive, and the best case was to collect his body for him.

The three of them stepped on the water, their blades gleaming coldly.

In desperation, a black shadow suddenly flew in from the courtyard wall where Cao Yue had disappeared just now, swung his sword and hit a huge splash, taking advantage of the chaos, he fished Zheng Dayun out of the water and flew back to the shore with his arms in his arms.

"Cao Yue?" Zheng Dayun didn't forget to block the bottom with the booklet on the shore before he died. He looked at Cao Yue standing in front of him and said: "Be careful behind. That's right. The left side is coming! Be careful!"

"Why don't you just sit there and watch the show? Can you bring some reinforcements? I'm sore!" Cao Yue came back with regret.He was already on the street, but when he saw a few figures sneaking into Zheng Dayun's house, he followed them with a flick of his brain.

If I knew it earlier, I should have let Zheng Dayun be killed!

"How can I go there naked?" Zheng Dayun was a little embarrassed, it was too embarrassing to go out like this, and besides, he also believed in Cao Yue's strength.

Cao Yue really wanted to turn against the water and help those three kill Zheng Dayun.

"Your life is almost gone, you're so hypocritical! Hurry up, or I won't beat your grandpa."

Zheng Dayun had no choice but to cover the bottom with the booklet, covered his buttocks with his hands, and ran out crookedly to call for someone.

When he came back, the assassin fell into the pool, the water was dyed red, and Cao Yue had disappeared.

***

Inside the palace.It was almost dark, and Wan Yu, who had just finished her lunch, led Yao Xi into the study and said, "Xiao Yaozi, come over to Aijia to tell you something."

"Yeah." Yao Xi obediently followed behind the empress dowager, and stopped in front of the bookshelves together in the study.

Wan Yu stood on tiptoe, casually took a few books from the bookshelf and threw them aside, and took out the small pistol hidden behind the books.Made of copper, the size of a palm, with three small muzzles.

"Ma'am, this is..." Yao Xi was puzzled and disturbed.Could it be that when she left the palace, who was not afraid of death to offend the empress dowager?

Wan Yu stuffed the small pistol into Yao Xi's arms and said, "I'll bring you self-defense. Aren't you going out of the palace tomorrow? I don't feel relieved if someone follows Aijia. This pistol can fire three bullets in a row, but it's too far away No, it’s not very powerful, but it’s enough for close-range self-defense.”

Yao Xi was very moved, but... "My lady, I don't know how to use it."

"It's not difficult, Aijia will teach you. Let's start by loading the ammunition." Wan Yu took the gunpowder from the desk drawer and took out the silver pot of gunpowder from the desk drawer to demonstrate to Yao Xi: "Pour some gunpowder into the muzzle first. Gunpowder, use this pressure stick to tamp the gunpowder, and then put in the projectile after tamping..."

Wan Yu's ten fingers were flying up and down nimbly, the movements were smooth and coherent, and she filled the mouth of the gun in a blink of an eye. She said softly to Yao Xi: "Try it, don't be afraid, don't point the bullet hole at yourself. It's fine if you're tall. Oh, it won't work even if you aim at Aijia."

Yao Xi was a little excited.In her two lifetimes, she has never touched a gun!

"Then I'll give it a try." Yao Xi followed what the Empress Dowager taught, and successfully filled a muzzle. After finishing, he found that it was actually very simple.She was a bit addicted, and she took the initiative to fill the third gun port without waiting for the mother's order. "Ma'am, is that so?"

"Yes." Wan Yu watched with relief from the side, with a motherly smile all over her face. "A child can be taught. Would you like to play a ball?"

"Would others think that there are assassins in the palace when they hear the noise? It's better not to!" Yao Xi looked down at the gadget in his hand and was a little hesitant.

Wan Yu directly dragged Yao Xi to the main hall, pointed to the thickest pillar and said, "Others will only think that our palace is setting off firecrackers. Let it be!"

Yao Xi was still worried: "If this pillar is knocked down, will the house collapse?"

Wan Yu couldn't stand Yao Ximoji, so she shot the pistol directly, and fired a shot at the pillar without saying a word.After the gunfire, a wisp of gunpowder-smelling smoke floated in the air, and a shallow gap was left on the painted red pillar, and the sawdust in the gap was charred black.

"If the pillar can be knocked down by this small pistol, wouldn't it fall if the wind blows?" Wan Yu took out silk from her bosom, folded it on the handle of the pistol and handed it to Yao Xi, saying: "The pistol If you have strength, you can use a handkerchief to cushion the tiger's mouth, and it won't hurt too much."

Yao Xi took the pistol, and after mustering up his courage, he raised his arm and aimed the muzzle at the pillar.

Bang! ! !

The moment Yao Xi fired the gun, he closed his eyes in fright, and opened them slowly after a long time, carefully checking whether there was a new gap on the pillar.Yao Xi finally found his own under the bullet marks left by the empress dowager, the red paint was knocked off, and it was also a shallow streak.

"Isn't it difficult at all?" Wan Yu smiled and stepped forward to take the pistol from Yao Xi, blew on her reddened mouth distressedly and said: "It will hurt a little at the first time, but you can get used to it." Enough."

Yao Xi knew that the empress was talking about hand guns, but when her dirty little mind heard this, she couldn't help but recall the "first time" in the warm pavilion last night.It turned out to be different from the legend, and it didn't hurt at all. It was a blessing.

I just don't know if the empress will hurt... Yao Xi blushed from the picture in his mind.

"What's the fun?" Seeing Yao Xi snickering, Wan Yu couldn't help showing a smile on her face, "There are a few more things you should take with you when you leave the palace tomorrow." Wan Yu went into the study to search for a while, and came back She held a small carved wooden box in her arms.

She put the box on the desk in the main hall, took out the contents one by one, and began to tell Yao Xi carefully.

"This bag is quicklime. If someone bullies you, take it out and blow it into their eyes. But remember, close your eyes when blowing, otherwise the wind will blow towards you..." Wan Yu thought about it and felt a little dangerous. Shaking his head, he said, "Forget it. Don't bring this."

"This bottle is hemostatic ointment. If you are going to be seriously injured, quickly dig a piece and apply a thick layer on the wound."

"This bottle is poison. If you are going to be kidnapped, find a chance to poison them to death. It is colorless and odorless and you will not be discovered. If you swallow it by yourself, don't be afraid. This bottle is the antidote. Are you clear about it? "

"You must bring this hairpin with you. Look, you can shoot poisonous needles with a slight twist."

……

"By the way, don't eat things on the street with a greedy appetite. In the morning, ask the kitchen to prepare a food box for you, and you have to make some sour plum soup to take with you on the way. It's getting hotter, what if you suffer from heat stroke?"

"That... Your Majesty, I will only be out of the palace for two hours, not to go to the battlefield. Besides, we are prosperous and peaceful, and the people abide by the law..." Yao Xi couldn't bear the heavy love of the Empress Dowager.But she was really touched, the empress was obviously very concerned about her safety, but she didn't try to save trouble and directly ordered her not to leave the palace.

Wan Yu looked at the pile of things in front of her, and suddenly said sadly: "You can take them all with you? Otherwise, the Ai family will not be at ease." She was afraid that Yao Xi would be hungry, tired, wronged, and meet bad people outside the palace. But I am not there.

"Okay! Take them all." Yao Xi took two steps forward, snuggled into the empress dowager's arms and joked, "Your Majesty, you really don't have to worry. I'm not as popular as your Majesty, and no one will want to assassinate me."

Wan Yu was originally a little sad because of the upcoming short separation, but after hearing Yao Xi's words, the sad mood was cut off instantly with a "crack".She ruthlessly pushed Yao Xi away from her arms, and scolded with a smile: "Damn girl, if you have the guts to say it again!"

Yao Xi raised his small face and stuck out his tongue mischievously: "I have no guts. Don't say it. Your mother has the ability to bite me!"

Bite and bite!Wan Yu held Yao Xi's face and kissed it hard.
