Brother Donggong

I heard that Cui Bicheng was about to die, but I didn't forget his house, and even tried to sell me!If I hadn't been in a hurry to run for my life, I would have jumped over there and settled the account with him carefully!

If my mother hadn't given birth to me, and I crawled out of my mother's stomach in time, so that my uncle could gain fame, he, Cui Bicheng, must still be farming in Cuijia Village now!Marry a village girl from a neighboring village, give birth to a few little potatoes with runny noses, and cry behind his ass for candy!How could he be as coquettish as he is now? !

However, he actually has the capital to be coquettish.

My grandfather's house doesn't look very good (it's really not very good), but after being remodeled by Cui Bicheng, a pig-headed pig with Shandong green onions in his nose, it can be said to be a shotgun.

The entire Ranzhuang, oh, the Zhuangzi where my grandfather lived, was dug out by Cui Bicheng, the iron rooster, with tunnels extending in all directions.Tunnel entrances and exits are dotted around, distributed around pots and stoves, wellhead closets, plus the granary behind, the shed for raising horses, and even a small temple dedicated to Guan Erye in the three-span courtyard.

I always felt that the bed board in my grandfather's old house was a bit flickering. Maybe Cui Bicheng hid my grandfather's 300 catties of sweet potatoes under it.

The tunnels extend in all directions, there are no road signs, no maps, I guess no one except Cui Bicheng knows where the tunnels across the entire Ranzhuang lead to!

The dark assassins who came to attack seemed to have died a lot after fierce battles. All of them, including Xue Yingwei, had exhausted their bows and crossbows, and then this group of people began to fight with swords!

Those assassins were not simple, very not simple, they seemed to be specially trained killers, in the fight with each other, Xue Yingwei of the Eastern Palace also killed many people, although they could stop them, but it was very difficult.

Xie Meng has been protecting me, dragging me to walk backwards, while Cui Bicheng asked Cui's retainers to find my grandfather and aunt, and told them to find the nearest entrance and go into the tunnel!

Xie Meng finally found a secret door behind a rattan shelf with a hoe and crossbow machine. He tore off the wisteria shelf above, and the entrance of the secret door was exposed like this.The stone road built by Baitiaoshi can only allow one person to pass.

Xie Meng looked around, it was still safe here, the assassin hadn't reached here yet, he said, "My lord, please go in first!"

"I..." When I looked inside, it was dark and the tunnel was so narrow. While cursing Cui Bicheng for cutting corners when building the tunnel, and not being able to make the tunnel wider, I said nonchalantly, "I'm a little scared..."

Xie Meng and I stood back to back. After he heard me finish speaking, he turned his head and gave me a surprised look. I saw his back...

I dodged to the side, and he got in sideways. I stretched out my foot and kicked him, causing him to roll in with a gurgling sound.

I only heard an ethereal voice coming from the leafy locust tree branches in the yard, "Hee hee, you saw me, do you want to save him? What a pity..."

Among the blooming white flowers, sat an assassin wrapped in black clothes!His face was covered with a white mask, like the cucumber I saw in my dream, a white face like melon seeds without facial features.

"It's a pity..."

He jumped down from the branch, and drew out the soft sword from his waist, trembling slightly, like a snake.

"You all have to die today!"

He raised his face, and I saw his eyes—like black pools of water, but smiling at the corners of his eyes, full of spring thoughts.It seems that he is not here to kill people now, but has already seduced the daughter of a pious Confucian family in front of the saint, and has done a good deed. He is showing off at the Imperial College that a moment of Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold!

Before he finished speaking, he pierced my left shoulder with a sword!

cold!

It actually feels cool after the body is cut open!It was as if I was wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket in the dog days, and someone tore it suddenly, and a small wind came in, which made my internal organs tremble.

It's over, it's over, my life is over!

Before I died, I thought of many things - Cui Bicheng still owed me a lot of money and I haven't asked for it back, I haven't eaten the tea eggs that my mother said to cook for me, the cucumber broke a bottle of my firewood kiln at least It can be worth 1 taels of silver, Wen Zhan...he doesn't owe me money, but I owe him money, I don't have to think about him before I die, but I can think about me when he dies, and..., I Dad hasn't died yet!How could I run ahead of him!I……

Red blood flowed out.

I was frightened.

My feet were weak, and when my legs were weak, I fell to the ground. I was in a trance when I saw people, and it was like the wind blowing when I heard people talking.

……

"My lord... my lord... my lord, are you okay?"

"My lord?"

Why does it look like Pei Tan?

……

Someone said, "General Pei, King Qi's shoulder was scratched by a hoe, he was frightened, and needs to rest more."

I felt someone shaking me, I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw the big white eyes of someone surnamed Cui.

It seemed to be noon, and the sun was shining.

I squinted and saw Cui Bicheng, he opened my eyelids with his fingers, stared at me and said, "My lord, if you wake up, you can get up."

I said confusedly, "Where am I? Am I dead?"

"No, you are still alive." Cui Bicheng raised his hand to block the light on my eyelids, "This is my rattan backyard. You are lying on my rattan bed."

Cui Bicheng turned into a fan, and while fanning my face, he said, "I really don't know what you think, my lord, that you actually kicked Xie Meng into the cabbage cellar, locked the door, and let him gnaw on your mouth." Cabbage gang, almost suffocated to death!"

"Not only that, but you actually knocked down the hoe that was placed next to the vine, and your arm was chopped off! The assassin didn't hurt you, but you actually cut your left hand with a hoe that was stained with dust. Tell yourself, Is there a prince more useless than you?"

I sat up from the bench sideways, and my arm hurt as if it had been scrapped. I looked sideways and saw that it had been treated by someone. The white cloth was wrapped many times, and it was wrapped like a big nest of melons.I couldn't tell whether it was a soft sword or a hoe.

I am dazzled by the day.

I am a little confused.

Could it be that the assassin I saw just now was my eyesight?

It seems to be... and it seems not to be.

The more I think about it, the more confused I become.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince ordered you to return to Beijing immediately."

Some people speak, the accent is Yongjing Mandarin, elegant and refined.

It was Zheng Yuanhou—Pei Tan.

Pei Tan and I are friends, well, they should be considered friends.On the Dragon Boat Festival two years ago, yes, it was the Dragon Boat Festival of the year when Wen Zhan wanted to kill me. I ran out from the Xianggongtangzi Guanzhi Building, and ran back to Da Nei with the horse borrowed by Pei Tan, who was still in the Guards at the time.

From then on, we seemed to be friends.

Although he usually ignores me.

What the prince Wen Zhan does is as stable as Mount Tai.

People block and kill, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

That's because half of his military power is held in the hands of the Marquis of Zhengyuan, Pei Tan.

Pei Tan is the son of the queen's natal brother, and the queen's elder brother is Pei Dongyue, the former imperial court.This Pei Dongyue was the number one scholar at the age of 20. He was appointed to the frontier at the age of 30, entered the cabinet at the age of 34, became the chief assistant of the cabinet at the age of 36, and died at the age of 38. Pei Tan seemed to be only seven or eight years old at that time.

Pei Dongyue died, and the position of Chief Assistant of the Cabinet was occupied by the Minister of Rites at that time, Du Huan. It seems that almost 20 years have passed, and now it seems that no one remembers Pei Dongyue from the previous dynasty, only the one in the court who hugged him Kunshan Duhuo, which is like hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, trembles in the stomach!

I often stand by the water and think wildly, there are always a bunch of people in this world who just don't want to fit in.

Cui Bicheng counts as one, and so does Pei Tan.

The Pei family is a noble family with a bunch of scholars scattered in the six divisions of the Imperial Academy and the Fu County of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Their days are so romantic that even writing small poems is "no regrets in this life, and more to come in the next life!"Ripples play the piano to watch the sea, and the hibiscus drunken platform is inserted obliquely. '

Only this Pei Tan ran to become a soldier with the honor of a first-class Jinshi, not to mention others, even his cousins ​​laughed at him, and even made sarcastic remarks-"A good woman does not want to be a chicken, and a good man does not want to be a soldier." '.

As a result, in less than seven years, Pei Tan was granted the title of Marquis because of his merits in the sea battle against the Kou. Now that everyone talks to him, it is estimated that it should be "the merit of all ages" and "the prince of all generations".

Pei Tan accepts everything!

He is now the direct line of the prince's direct line, and their whole family is the direct line of the prince.

Wen Zhan sent Xie Meng over first and saved my life. I was a little grateful to him, but he sent Pei Tan over again, urging me to go back. Isn't this simply calling Yue Fei with twelve gold medals?What does he want?

I covered my arms and shook my head and said, "I'm injured, it hurts like hell, there are more than 70 miles of mountain roads from here to Yongjing, I definitely can't go back now. Wait a few days, I will recover from my injuries in a few days." , I will definitely go back by myself! Is it okay?"

Pei Tan stared at my face and said word by word, "No! You must arrive at Yongjing before sunset."

"Huh?" I also stared at him, "What if I don't go?"

"Then I will only offend you. According to the crown prince's order, I summon Prince Chengyi to return to Yongjing immediately. If you don't follow the prince's order, you can do it cheaply. Wangye, you don't want to be tied up again."

I raised my hand and slapped him across the face!

Cui Bicheng grabbed my sleeve, while Pei Tan looked at me intently, with an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Pei Tan! Don't mention that matter again, and I'll kill you if you say anything else!"

Pei Tan didn't speak, he looked at me and seemed to ask again, and then?

I said, "I'm going back to Yongjing."

My arm hurts like hell, I can't ride a horse, but Pei Tan's guards and Xie Meng's remnants don't have a carriage - Xie Meng is very poor, there is still a bruise on his forehead, it looks like he hit the door frame on.

I was wondering, I remember that place was a secret door, when was Cui Bicheng changed into a vegetable cellar?

Without a carriage, I can't ride a horse, and I absolutely don't want to be tied up by Pei Tan and carried back to Yongjing, so at this time, Cui Bicheng moved to me with the compassion of a hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake, and moved his hand Refers to the stable on the other side of the west courtyard——

There is a brand new carriage!

It was just right, two Xiongnu steeds were mounted on black shawls, not too gorgeous, but it showed its delicacy and slight difference.

Cui Bicheng suddenly said solemnly, "His Royal Highness, Xiaomin will go to Yongjing with you."

……

Your Highness...

Xiaomin?

you?

Cui Bicheng... you are not stupid, are you? !

Inside the carriage, there is a small tea table, warm tea, snacks, and someone named Cui.

I fished out from the back of my belt, took a pendant, and shook it in front of Cui Bicheng. He seemed to have suddenly turned into a wolf that had been starving for seven days when he saw a piece of fresh and fat Hun lamb!

——The azure-blue Sejong Chai Kiln Porcelain, surrounded by a layer of gold, tied with a wishful knot with red silk.

In the entire Yongjing, it is priceless!

How many princes and grandsons, holding tens of thousands of taels of silver, want but can't get it!

I looked at him sincerely, "Cousin, I have a good friend in Guanzhilou, he will be 20 years old after the new year. You know, when the husband arrives, he is called a 'Xunyang lady', The door is cold. He is 20 years old, and the business is not doing well, so I want to redeem him."

Cui Bicheng stared at my pendant and shook it left and right, he nodded hurriedly, "OK! OK! OK! Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"

I struck while the iron was hot, "That man used to be considered a half-red man in Guanzhilou, the old bustard offered three thousand taels, and I thought it would be 1000 taels, but the old bust wouldn't do anything, insisting on asking me for three thousand taels. "

When Cui Bicheng heard about the money, his mind seemed to clear up a bit. He glanced at me, "I don't visit Xianggong halls, so I don't know the price, but there is no fixed value for those red ladies in the Yongjing brothel. There are five thousand, and three thousand." Yes, even one thousand. What you said seems outdated, so the price is up to [-], and the maximum is [-], so don’t raise the price.”

I said, "I must redeem him today, but I don't have enough money."

As I said this, Cui Bicheng stared at the sleeve where I put the cash.

"So, cousin, please lend me 3000 taels of silver first!"

Cui Bicheng stared at the pendant in my hand, and immediately said, "Succeed! 3000 taels is 3000 taels! But you have to make a note for me, and you have to bring something to mortgage!"

"Success! Absolutely no problem!" I agreed very readily, "What do you think of my firewood kiln pendant? But let me say first, when I return the money to you, you can return it to me .I just borrow you to play for two days."

Cui Bicheng nodded.

He took the pen and paper, wrote the receipt, and I signed it, and then he took out 3000 taels of silver bills from his pocket.

I hurriedly put the banknote away, but when he took the pendant over, his expression was not good.

He stared at me, "My lord, this thing of yours is fake."

I nodded, "Nonsense! This is a cucumber bought from Panjiayuan."

Cui Bicheng, "We agreed to use your firewood kiln pendant as a mortgage."

I said, "I didn't say I disagree. Don't you know that I have a plum vase from a firewood kiln? It was worth 1 taels of silver when I bought it, and now it's probably worth [-]. . . . I don’t know, it’s that one, the one that the cucumber smashed for me just last month?… The craftsman said that it couldn’t be repaired anyway, so fortunately, he poured gold to make a cup.”

Cui, "Where's the cup?"

"Once something happens in the palace, I'm so busy these days, don't I just forget about it?"

Cui, "Then what do you mean by this?"

I stroked the bank note contentedly, "I just want to say, I have money! I have plenty of money!!——"
