Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[one four seven]

After listening to Zhou Jinyu's "story", Wei Huanian couldn't calm down for a long time.

In fact, in this so-called story, the context of the story is already very clear.

Among the Shangshu in the imperial court, there is only one who reached the high position of Shangshu at a young age and made great achievements in saving people on the battlefield, Feng Boyang, the Shangshu of the household department.

And the wife abandoned by Feng Boyang was undoubtedly Zhou Jinyu's mother, the Liu family.

After the war that year, when she returned to the capital, it was not that she did not send hidden guards to check Zhou Jinyu's details, but the dark guards only found out that she was from Turkic. As for her past, it seemed that someone had erased it. Generally, no clues.

What she never expected was that Zhou Jinyu could now hear her tell these past events in person.

This depressing past.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Jinyu was born in a wealthy businessman's family. Although she and her mother were servants in the palace at the beginning, most of her grew up in the Zhou mansion.

As the fourth son of the Zhou family, Zhou Jinyu has rich clothes and good food, and has not suffered much, so he has developed a temperament that seems to be carefree and hates work.

But this is only on the surface. She has always understood that Zhou Jinyu's appearances are made out of appearances to outsiders, but they are not like this in his heart.

Now that she heard what happened, she feels even more distressed about what Zhou Jinyu has suffered.

And that, Feng Boyang, the ungrateful household secretary, was completely taken to heart by her.

All the ministers in the court knew that Feng Boyang made great contributions as a grain transport officer on the battlefield, and he saved Emperor Tianshun's life on the battlefield, so Emperor Tianshun attached great importance to him.

But the events of that year did not stand up to scrutiny.

How did Feng Boyang happen to be there when Emperor Tianshun was captured by the Khitans?

If calculated according to the time, Feng Boyang should still be on the way of transporting grain and grass at that time. The situation was critical at that time.

The battle on the front line was not going well, and Han Yunxin's eldest son Han Yun died on the battlefield.

All of this seems to be covered in a layer of fog.

But all of these, along with Feng Boyang's meritorious service in saving his family, were all covered up and ignored.

But is the truth really as it seems?

Zhou Jinyu had already fallen asleep in Wei Huanian's arms, she was so tired.

After talking to Wei Huanian about this today, she seemed to have let go of all the burdens in an instant. Wei Huanian finally understood why Zhou Jinyu wanted to enter the officialdom and make contributions in the battlefield. Guilt, ascend to a high position, and then take revenge.

Wei Huanian gently put Zhou Jinyu on the bed, and then covered her with a brocade quilt. She looked at her for a while, and then walked out suddenly.

Then a black figure appeared in front of her eyes: "Princess."

It is the dark guard Jinfeng.

Wei Huanian said: "If the son-in-law wants to go to the battlefield, you should go to the army to make a name."

Jin Feng hurriedly replied: "Yes, Princess."

Jin Feng was puzzled, and asked: "But Princess, if you let me go with you, will General Changsun want to watch it as well?"

Wei Huanian shook his head: "Not for the time being, he was just transferred back to the capital by his father, so he definitely wouldn't dare to act rashly. He will definitely do his best in this battle with the Turks."

Jin Feng nodded, and then disappeared again.

Zhou Jinyu woke up the next day with severe sore eyes. She remembered crying and falling asleep in Wei Huanian's arms last night, and when she opened her eyes, it was dawn.

After she woke up, Wei Huanian also woke up. Wei Huanian got up, and after dressing up, he walked to the wooden cabinet and took out an object wrapped in rags.

When Zhou Jinyu saw the thing, she was a little surprised. She was also surprised that Zhang Lu told her that after returning from Yong'an County, she didn't have the thing she was looking for in her room.

It turned out that it was put away by Wei Huanian.

Wei Huanian took the Northern Zhou Yuxi and said to Zhou Jinyu, "My son-in-law, is this yours?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "...um."

Wei Huanian handed the jade seal to Zhou Jinyu, blinked again, and asked, "What is this?"

Zhou Jinyu was even more surprised. Didn't Wei Huanian open it before?

But then I thought again, no, if Wei Huanian hadn't opened it, he definitely wouldn't have brought this jade seal back to Dao Capital.

So the biggest possibility is that Wei Huanian had already opened it and read it, and only then did he realize the importance of such things, so he helped her bring them back together.

The reason why Wei Huanian asked her on purpose was probably because he was afraid that she would think too much.

And since Wei Huanian already knew about it, she was deceiving herself if she said it wasn't something important.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a jade seal from the previous dynasty. At that time, the leader of the bandit asked me to give it to a beggar in the capital. I worked hard to the end and brought it back."

Wei Huanian was not surprised at all, but said, "This matter will bring you trouble."

Zhou Jinyu said: "I know, but I have been entrusted with the matter of loyalty, since I have agreed, I will finish this matter."

Zhou Jinyu had eaten breakfast and went out with the jade seal. She remembered that the bandit leader at that time asked her to hand over the jade seal to an uneasy beggar.

Zhou Jinyu brought Yuxi all the way to the Town God's Temple on West Street, where beggars really gathered, but these beggars looked ragged, but in fact they had good eyesight, even if a passer-by gave them money, they would also It's just a verbal thank you, but there's not even half a thank you inside the words.

Zhou Jinyu hesitated, whether he should give the things away or not.

These beggars are obviously Lian Jiazi. If she is alone, if something happens to her, she will not be defeated, but it will be a trouble after all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu paused, turned around and was about to go back.

"stop!"

Suddenly someone called out and stopped her.

When she looked back, she saw a beggar walking towards her with the beggars behind him.

The leading beggar asked, "What do you do?"

Zhou Jinyu paused, then said with a smile, "Passing by."

"Passing by?" The beggar looked her up and down coldly, trying to see something from her.

Zhou Jinyu smiled: "It's just passing by, I'm leaving now, there is no need to send it off."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.

But the next moment, he was already surrounded by those beggars.

Zhou Jinyu looked at them helplessly: "Heroes, what are you going to do?"

The leading beggar stepped forward, pointed at her and said, "You look sneaky, and you don't look like a good person."

As he spoke, he ordered the left and right: "Take him in and hand him over to the helmsmen!"

Zhou Jinyu shrugged. It seemed that he couldn't leave now.

She was pushed and shoved into the Temple of the City God by those beggars. She saw that the Temple of the City God was very lively. There were a few men standing in front of the platform dedicated to the Lord of the City God, but there were hundreds of beggars around below. few.

One of the oldest ones was standing in the middle, lecturing to everyone.

"This time, we are going to choose a gang leader. You all know that our gang leader is dead now, and the country cannot live without a king, and the gang cannot live without a leader. Let everyone come today for one thing, that is Among the several rudder masters, one is selected who can lead us all to do things for the master.”

As soon as the old man spoke, everyone immediately responded.

They shouted: "Good! Good!"

Sima Ye suddenly said: "It's just that the leader's token is missing now, I'll wait..."

The old man said: "The matter of the token can be postponed. This time we are to choose the leader. After going to the leader, our Cao Gang is a mess. The master has an order. Let me choose the leader as soon as possible so that we can go to join him."

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, Zhou Jinyu understood in his heart that the leader of the Cao Gang they were talking about must be Xiang Nantian, the leader of the Cao Gang, but who was the leader they were talking about?

And she originally thought that the Cao Gang had already been wiped out, but who knew that there were still remnants gathered together again.

She felt a little relieved in her heart, after all, Xiang Nantian, the leader of the Cao Gang, has a friendship with her, if the Cao Gang is completely wiped out without a word, then Xiang Nantian will not be happy if he has a soul in the sky .

Just after the old man finished speaking, the old man said to everyone: "There are four candidates for the leader of the gang this time. You are all members of the humerus of our Cao Gang. If everyone has no objections, you can vote by secret ballot now. The one with the most votes will be our next leader."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd shouted again.

And there were four men standing under the old man, three of them were dressed as beggars, but one of them surprised Zhou Jinyu suddenly.

The height of that person was really outstanding among the four, a full half head taller than the others, but Zhou Jinyu knew that face.

That was Xiang Nantian's sworn brother from the Western Regions, the guard of the young prince Sun Hao, and the lover of Zhou Jinyu's third sister Zhou Linger.

Why is he here too?

Before Zhou Jinyu had time to think about it, the old man suddenly pointed to her in front of the door and asked, "Who is she?"

The beggar who pushed Zhou Jinyu in replied: "Back to Master An, I think this person is sneaky, he must be the court's eyeliner, so bring her in, and you will deal with it!"

The old man named An Duozhu took a look at Zhou Jinyu, and said directly: "Just take it to the back and deal with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two beggars dragged Zhou Jinyu to the apse of the Town God's Temple.

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly shouted: "Don't, don't, I'm not a spy sent by the court, I'm here to find An Buhuai, who of you knows An Buhuai?"

As soon as she spoke, the old man immediately waved his hand: "Wait!"

Zhou Jinyu stood still and looked at him amidst the crowd of beggars: "Do you know who is An Buhuai?"

The old man pondered for a while, then said: "The old man is An Buhuai, what do you need to ask the old man?"

Zhou Jinyu pushed away the two beggars who were still holding her arms, and said with a smile, "I was entrusted by a hero from Niangniang Mountain in Yong'an County, and I brought something for you."

When An Buhuai heard about Niangniang Mountain, Dang Li's expression turned serious, and he asked, "Did Meng Han ask you to come?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "It's me, Brother Meng."

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]

An Buhuai heard Zhou Jinyu calling Meng Han Big Brother Meng, and was puzzled: "Why don't I know you?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Hey, that's because you weren't there when I married Jinlan with Brother Meng at Niangniang Mountain, so how do you know me..."

At this time, Sima Ye from the Western Regions stood up, pointed at Zhou Jinyu and said, "Master An, I recognize her."

He stared at Zhou Jinyu coldly, revealing her identity: "This person is the son-in-law of Princess Yuanzhao today. His name is Zhou Jinyu, and he is the eagle dog of Wei Jian's dog thief!"

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples of the Cao Gang in the Town God's Temple were enraged, and they all said angrily, "Kill him! Kill him!"

Zhou Jinyu looked at Sima Ye coldly, but saw that Sima Ye was looking at her with the corner of his mouth curled up. Sima Ye was from the Western Regions, with big eyes. Perhaps his blood was not entirely from the Western Regions, but had some characteristics of Central Plains people.

Zhou Jinyu ignored him no matter what the reason was, he wanted to harm himself, but at this moment, in the entire Town God's Temple, it was obvious that he was not the one who could make the decision.

Zhou Jinyu looked at An Buhuai and said, "I brought something here. If you still doubt my identity, then I have nothing to say. After all, I almost died in Changsun Sheng's hands because of this thing." , I worked desperately to bring you things for my brother Meng, but you want to kill me?"

An Buhuai squinted at Zhou Jinyu, pointed at her, and asked, "What did Meng Han ask you to bring?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled mysteriously, and said to him: "Brother Meng said, just let me give the things to you, as for the idlers..."

When she said "the idlers are waiting", she deliberately went to see Sima Ye, and Sima Ye was really furious: "You!"

Zhou Jinyu looked at An Buhuai: "Can I borrow a step to speak?"

Sima Ye said angrily: "No, Lord An Duo, this person is a court eagle dog, she must be sent by Wei Jian's dog thief, don't trust her!"

An Buhuai waved his hand and said: "When the old man comes back, continue to choose the leader of the gang, you wait here."

After An Buhuai finished speaking, he said to Zhou Jinyu, "Follow me."

Zhou Jinyu followed immediately, and saw that An Buhuai walked to the back of the Town God's Temple, and turned twice at a broken bowl behind the statue. The original wooden shelf suddenly turned, and it was a trap.

An Buhuai walked in, and Zhou Jinyu immediately followed.

An Buhuai turned the candlestick inside again, and the wooden shelf suddenly closed.

This is a narrow space that can only accommodate seven or eight people, and there is nothing inside. Zhou Jinyu looked around, but suddenly found a secret door on one wall here, which must lead to the back.

An Buhuai said coldly: "Now we can talk."

Zhou Jinyu took out the jade seal and handed it to An Buhuai.

An Buhuai took it, opened a corner, and was taken aback when he saw Bei Zhou Yuxi inside.

"This... this thing is indeed in his hands."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Brother Meng said, let me hand over Yuxi to you. He also said that as his brother, I am the person he can trust the most."

An Buhuai looked at her coldly, and said: "You think I don't know you? It's you, the brothers who destroyed Niangniang Mountain. Although you come here with the jade seal, I don't believe you."

Zhou Jinyu suppressed the panic in his heart, and suddenly laughed.

An Buhuai asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "I laugh at you for being stupid!"

An Buhuai said angrily: "You!"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Isn't it? If I were really the brothers who destroyed Niangniang Mountain, do you think I would still bring you this jade seal? I should directly hand over the jade seal to Emperor Tianshun, and then receive the credit went."

There was some hesitation in An Buhuai's eyes.

Zhou Jinyu took the opportunity to say: "Furthermore, it was Changsun Sheng who killed all the brothers in Niangniang Mountain. He wanted to kill me as well. If there are still brothers alive in Niangniangshan, then you can ask him, you can ask him, Did Changsun Sheng want to kill me that day? If I hadn’t been clever, how could I still have the life to hand over this jade seal to you now. Unexpectedly, the people of the Cao Gang are so ungrateful. If you insist on killing me, how can you be worthy of me? Brother Xiang?"

An Buhuai was taken aback: "Do you still know the leader of the gang?"

When he said this, he bowed his hands to the west, obviously showing the utmost respect to Nantian.

Zhou Jinyu said: "Xiang Nantian is my sworn elder brother. I have known him in the early years, but later on I was practicing martial arts in Qianlong Temple, so I rarely saw him. It's not surprising that you don't know me."

After Zhou Jinyu finished speaking, he said to An Buhuai again: "Oh, by the way, I still have something in my hand, you must be interested."

An Buhuai asked, "What is it?"

Zhou Jinyu fumbled around his waist for a while, took out the token of the Cao Gang, and waved it in front of An Buhuai: "This."

An Buhuai was taken aback, took the token of the Cao Gang, and said in a daze, "This is... the token? The token has long been lost, how did you get it?"

Zhou Jinyu crossed his arms and lied casually, "Yes, Brother Xiang gave it to me with his own hands."

An Buhuai was completely restless now: "You said, this token was given to you by the leader himself?"

Zhou Jinyu nodded, with his hands behind his back, condescending, and kept secret: "Yes."

An Buhuai suddenly raised the token with both hands, and with a "plop", he knelt down on the ground: "Student of the Cao Gang, An Buhuai, kowtow to the leader of the gang!"

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback by him, she immediately took a step back, looked at An Buhuai cautiously and said, "I said, why are you kneeling on me?"

An Buhuai said respectfully: "Since this token was given to you by the guild leader, it is designated, and you trust the guild leader."

Zhou Jinyu: "Uh..."

She did not expect this development.

All the nonsense just now was because she didn't expect that Sima Ye was also a member of the Cao Gang.

She originally wanted to send Yuxi to An Buhuai and then she retired, but Sima Ye's presence obviously made it impossible for her to leave safely. Obviously, Sima Ye's status in the Cao Gang is not low, and she never thought that Sima Ye would directly Point out her identity.

So much so that everything she said to An Buhuai just now was improvised to save her life.

Can help the Lord...

It made her overwhelmed.

Zhou Jinyu thought about it and said, "Well... what, I don't intend to be the leader of this gang, and if I hand the token back, it's nothing more than returning it to the original owner. I..."

An Buhuai suddenly understood: "I understand, Mr. Zhou, you are the one who broke into the court from the leader, you... have suffered."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

When he said this, Zhou Jinyu found it ridiculous the more he thought about it, but seeing the sincerity on his face, he was completely appreciative.

Zhou Jinyu smiled wryly and shook his head: "Mis... misunderstood, I really... have nothing to suffer."

An Buhuai heard these words, but thought that Zhou Jinyu was being modest, and he respected Zhou Jinyu a little more in his heart.

Zhou Jinyu said: "Can you stand up and talk, I have to keep my head down when you are kneeling, it's very uncomfortable."

An Buhuai immediately stood up, smiled and said: "Yes, yes, what the leader said is true."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

An Buhuai said: "Master, come out with the villain and meet the brothers."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Zhou Jinyu touched his chin helplessly, well, now he can't get away.

After An Buhuai put the jade seal away, An Buhuai pulled her by the arm and walked out of the dark room.

At this time, the people from the Cao Gang were still waiting outside, and when they saw Zhou Jinyu and An Buhuai coming out, they immediately quieted down after whispering to each other.

An Buhuai pulled Zhou Jinyu, walked up to the crowd, and said to them: "As for the matter of the leader of the Cao Gang, it turns out that the leader of the Xiang Gang already has a candidate. If this is the case, you don't need to choose again."

Sima Ye immediately said to An Buhuai, "Master An, may I ask who does Gang Leader Xiang like?"

An Buhuai handed the token directly to Zhou Jinyu's guard. Zhou Jinyu didn't want to accept it, but An Buhuai forced the token into her hand, then raised her arm, and said to everyone:

"It's him!"

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

Sima Ye was the first to disagree, and said anxiously: "He? An Duozhu, are you confused? He is a member of the imperial court. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate!"

An Buhuai said coldly: "Presumptuous! Guild Leader Zhou is the person sent to the court by the previous Guild Leader Xiang Nantian. Moreover, now that the Guild Leader's token has been found, he once said to the Guild Leader that he will pass on the position of Guild Leader to the person holding the token. Man, now that the token is in the hands of Gang Leader Zhou, you must not be disrespectful to Gang Leader!"

Sima Ye said angrily, "Only by him?"

He stared at Zhou Jinyu with hatred, and the other three gang leader candidates also looked at Zhou Jinyu angrily.

Sima Ye looked at Zhou Jinyu and said, "Tell me yourself, are you sent by Wei Jian's dog thief? Why did the leader Xiang hand over the leader's order to an imperial eagle dog? There must be fraud in this matter!"

Zhou Jinyu shrugged, she really didn't want to admit it.

But now that the arrow is on the string, she has to stop temporarily, otherwise, with Sima Ye here, she is likely to die.

Then he nodded, and replied: "I will not hide the matter now, I am indeed, under the order of eldest brother Xiang, to go to the court to inquire about the news temporarily, but later, I learned that elder brother Xiang is dead, I am devastated , wanted to go with Big Brother Xiang together, but now seeing that the brothers are still there, I can't bear to die."

Sima Ye was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You!"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Brother Sima doubted me, and it is understandable."

Zhou Jinyu looked at the crowd and said sadly: "However, Brother Xiang once said that even if one day his head is in a different place, I hope that the brothers will work together to forget the sadness of his death for a while, and don't forget to work hard for the master. duty of!"

After hearing what he said, An Buhuai's eyes were full of sadness, he nodded and said: "What Chief Zhou said is that we are willing to swear allegiance to Chief Zhou and Master to the death!"

He knelt on the ground, bowed his head and bowed.

Seeing him kneeling, all the disciples of the Cao Gang knelt down one after another: "We are willing to swear allegiance to Chief Zhou, and allegiance to Master to the death!"

Apart from Sima Ye, several other helmsmen also bowed down one after another.

Sima Ye just looked at the crowd coldly, turned around angrily, and left the Town God's Temple.

Zhou Jinyu looked at the kneeling disciples of the Cao Gang and waved his hands: "Everyone, please stand up."

An Buhuai stood up and said to Zhou Jinyu: "Master, the master has an order to wait for me to go north to meet him. Now that you are here, you can just be with us and lead us to see the master."

Zhou Jinyu immediately shook his head and blurted out: "No way!"

An Buhuai was taken aback: "Why?"

Zhou Jinyu coughed lightly, and said: "Now that I am in the imperial court, I have just won the trust of His Majesty... No, if Wei Jian leaves rashly, he will definitely be suspicious of him and expose you brothers. If I continue to stay Being by Wei Jian's side is actually beneficial to the master."

An Buhuai hurriedly bowed and said, "It's better for the leader to be considerate. Wei Jian's bastard must never have imagined that his son-in-law is actually one of us."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Well... so, let's let go of the matter of going north with you."

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, and suddenly said hesitantly to An Buhuai: "But, Brother Sima..."

An Buhuai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the leader, I'll let Sima Ye talk about it, and I will definitely not reveal your identity."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, slightly relieved: "That's good."

Zhou Jinyu never dreamed that she would somehow become the leader of the Cao Gang. Later, she followed An Buhuai into the secret room. She originally wanted to find out who the master he was talking about was, but if she rashly tried , must make An Buhuai suspicious.

During the conversation, An Buhuai angrily told her that Xiang Nantian's death was at the hands of Emperor Tianshun.

They hated Shun Emperor so much, so it was not difficult to guess the identity of the master.

The Xing Zhouhui has always been an anti-Jin organization that has caused Emperor Tianshun a headache. They have been hiding in the dark these years, and Emperor Tianshun has sent secret guards to investigate many times.

The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed back then was inseparable from the licentiousness of the Empress Zhou. Most of the old people of the Hou Zhou had surrendered, but there was still a prince who was not arrested and executed.

Zhou Jinyu left the Town God's Temple and returned to the son-in-law's mansion.

When she went back, Wei Huanian was sitting in the room embroidering a new handkerchief.

Zhou Jinyu walked over suspiciously and asked, "Princess, what are you doing?"

She glanced at the pattern embroidered on Wei Huanian's handkerchief. It was two ducks again, but the ducks were not finished yet.

Wei Huanian glanced at her.

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said, "Oh, I know, this is a mandarin duck!"
