Immediately after the death of the master

Are you really the child of the old prince? "

"It's nonsense!"

Xiao Shizi said sharply.

He tried his best to push me away, but his three-legged kung fu was not enough in front of me. He was held in my arms, and my hand on his chest stopped, holding the dagger tightly, and stopped. his kidneys.

"It's better for Xiaoshizi to be more restrained. This eunuch has a very bad conscience. He seduces with inferior beauty, causing the little Shizi who has never seen the world to suffer from kidney deficiency at a young age. It's not nice to say it—"

It's a joke on the surface, but it's actually sinister, and we both know that I'm not joking.

The little prince in my arms was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Master Li is right, right!" Xiao Shizi tilted his neck and kept away from me as much as possible, he turned his head and said to the maid behind him, "Sisters, please forgive me, brother, I haven't reached the crown yet, so I won't wait for you to enjoy it." Such human pleasures."

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Shizi and I are just a little closer. No one knows the knife hanging on his left kidney. The maid sister regards me as the parent who disciplines the children, so she doesn't stay longer, covering her mouth and chuckling Then, file out.

I put away the dagger, and continued to help Xiao Shizi tidy up his messy clothes with a low eyebrow. Finally, I reminded him by tidying up his collar.

"Pay attention to me, and don't get in my way."

99,

That night, the prefect invited me to attend the banquet with his real name. Xiaoshizi came to me again in a flirty red dress. He hung shoulders and shoulders with me, and chatted as if what happened in the afternoon had never happened.

Since he wants to pretend nothing happened, I am willing to accompany him.

The two of us seemed like old friends at the first sight, and we came to the banquet hall happily all the way.

The banquet was set up on the Qingping Pavilion, which was built on a stone platform with eight sides, three floors and four eaves, which is extremely magnificent.The banquet hall is on the top floor of the Qingping Pavilion, and the inside of the pavilion is brightly lit. The maids and servants passing through wear gold and silver.

The prefect was old and healthy, energetic, and seeing Xiao Shizi coming, he immediately asked the two dancers beside him to serve Xiao Shizi, Xiao Shizi laughed and took one of the dancers and rolled to his seat.

I wrapped my arms around the waist of another dancer and sat down in my seat calmly.

The red-faced prefect raised his glass, the music played, singing and dancing began, and the banquet began.

Talking and laughing, complimenting each other, the amber liquid flowing in the golden cup, the slender hand of the dancer pouring the wine, the aroma of food, the expensive aromatherapy, and the faint moaning.

In the midst of this extravagant chaos, I lay reclined on the ground, and the dancer with a wink knelt softly beside me, massaging my feet and calves.

The prefect stepped down from the main seat, waved his hand with a jade finger, and the dancer beside me quietly retreated.

"Master Li, how is your place?"

"Beautiful people and wine! Be happy! Be happy! I've been fighting in the frontier for so many years just to be able to live this kind of life?"

"Then Master Li should enjoy it."

"Of course, of course!"

The prefect was sitting next to me, and we were chatting and chatting.To my surprise, the prefect's knowledge and experience are good, not like a fool. After inquiring, I found out that he was born in abject poverty. Made it to where it is today.

He is also a ruthless person, but what is the use of a ruthless person?

A ruthless man like old Prime Minister Ji, how much better is his current situation than this life-threatening prefect?

I drank the wine in my mouth, and looked out the open window.

This Qingping Pavilion is the tallest building in the prefect's mansion. Looking out from the window here, you can see Wancheng at night.

There was a dead silence and no lights.

The lights in the banquet hall are like daylight, and the extravagance is extreme. Outside the banquet hall, there is silence and starvation everywhere.

Death and splendor, luxury and hunger.

When the prefect looked over, I toasted him.

It's a real son of a bitch.

Xu Yuque sincerely does not deceive me.

I couldn't help laughing, the wine glass was knocked on the table, and the bottom of the glass was cracked.

"Master Li, what's the matter?" The prefect's smile was still kind, like a kind old man.

I drank the contents of the glass before the wine ran out of the shattered glass, and got to the point.

"Master Taishou, I watched and watched, and I always feel that there is one person missing from the banquet tonight."

The prefect took a piece of meat and swallowed it in one gulp. He asked me.

"Is it because you are missing Young Master Ji?"

"That's right, that's him, that's him." I patted my head, pretending to have suddenly realized.

The eunuch chewed the meat carefully, and the minced meat was rolled between his teeth until it was crushed into fine pieces.

"Don't worry, there will only be our group of youngsters tonight. That adult, he won't know."

"Would he not know about such a big battle?" I blinked playfully.

"I wouldn't know. If I didn't have this ability to deceive others, my head would have been taken off along with the black hat."

Putting down his chopsticks, the eunuch took out a handkerchief and wiped the oily corners of his mouth.

Under the eunuch's slightly profound gaze, I laughed loudly.

"Don't say such inauspicious words tonight, what can't be picked, the prefect is in good health, and there are still ten or twenty years of wealth in the world to enjoy!"

"Haha, then I will accept Master Li's auspicious words."

The prefect also laughed, and hooked up with me, we both agreed that nothing happened just now, we clinked glasses with each other, and reached an agreement to work hand in hand.

At the end of the banquet, the prefect introduced another important person to me, Shen Hong, a confidant of the new emperor, who was recently promoted to the imperial guard and has a bright future.

For Shen Hong, his character, talent and learning are all inferior, only martial arts and loyalty are commendable.When the new emperor was still the prince, he saved the prince's life in numerous assassinations. For this reason, Shen Hong was hacked more than a dozen times, and almost died of poisoning several times.

This time, the new emperor ordered Ji Sanqing to bring back the young son, but let his confidant Shen Hong go with him. It is not just as simple as protecting Ji Sanqing. This time when Ji Sanqing and Shen Hong went together, Shen Hong mostly played the role of monitoring Ji Sanqing role.If you are not afraid to speculate on others with the worst point of view, Ji Sanqing's trip is ostensibly to bring back a proton who can check and balance his master, and Ji Sanqing, who is leaving Beijing, is not a proton to contain old Prime Minister Ji?

If there is any change in the old prime minister, Shen Hong's task will instantly change from protection to execution.

It can be inferred from this that the relationship between Ji Sanqing and Shen Hong is definitely not harmonious.

The matter of my meeting with Shen Hong must not be let Ji Sanqing know, the prefect is indeed an old fritter, this kind of thing is clearer than me, he arranged the two of us in the dark room of his study, and did not let others know.

Shen Hong looked very nervous when he saw me, his whole body was trembling, and when he saw me, he grabbed my robe and went straight in.

"Lord Li, if we surrender, can you persuade the Eighth Prince to save my life?"

Although I can't compare with the old fritters like the prefect who have been in the officialdom for a long time, I have long been used to the idea of ​​turning three corners in one sentence.Shen Hong's pure and unaffected approach really shocked me.

I choked and could only talk to him.

"How about—you persuade Ji Sanqing, if he surrenders, it will be easy."

Shen Hong was in a hurry, he almost broke down and cried: "Ji Sanqing is loyal to the emperor, there is no way to persuade him."

I'm a little speechless. According to the routine, even if I can't, I have to say yes. In the end, I can say no more. In the end, this man directly said no.

"Truth is dead, but people are alive." I could only encourage him verbally, "After all, there is a way."

I said nothing, he looked at me with desperate eyes, and I returned him with helpless eyes.

100,

In the early morning of the second day, when I went to the bamboo building to meet Ji Sanqing, he was teaching the little girl to write.But in one night, the little girl has changed into a goose yellow skirt and a girlish swallowtail hair bun.

While teaching the little girl, Ji Sanqing asked questions, mostly about the current situation of Wancheng.I sat down and recommended myself.

"Master Ji, you might as well ask me, what can a little girl like her know?"

"You have just been in Wancheng for two days, what do you know?" Xiao Zhu, who was burning incense beside him, rolled his eyes.

"In the Dayu Kingdom, except for the capital city, the situation in other cities is similar. I have been traveling north and south for more than 20 years. I have seen the royal family, nobles, pawns, merchants, all kinds of people, and all kinds of things. I have seen more than this little girl. I’ve seen a lot.” I said stiffly.

Ji Sanqing focused on teaching the little girl, and didn't give me the slightest look. I sat a little closer cheekily, and took out the pastries I had prepared in my arms to seduce the little girl.

"Little girl, come here, let me hug you and give you some snacks."

"I don't want uncle's snacks, I want brother fairy."

The little girl is not afraid of life at all, she stays in Ji Sanqing's arms and refuses to come out, she thinks I will take her away, so she grabs Ji Sanqing's sleeve and won't let go.

I don't care if she follows me or not, it's another thing I care about.

"Why do you call me uncle and him brother?"

"Because elder brother Shenxian looks younger than uncle." The little girl was unexpectedly straightforward.

I clutched my chest and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Although Ji Sanqing looked young, he was an old man several rounds older than me.Nine years ago, when I was a 12-year-old carrot, he was about to lose his crown.I have changed a lot in the past few years, but he has not changed much, but no matter what, he will not be younger than me.
