Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

With a letter from Prime Minister Wang and a light sedan chair, Qin Xianglian, mother and son, who were under heavy protection, were easily taken away from Kaifeng Mansion.Before leaving, Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun were hesitant to talk to Qin Xianglian, and Zhan Zhao only said "Sister Qin..." without further words.

Jin Qian knew that these people were concerned about the status of the consort's mansion and the prime minister, and it was inconvenient to say more because of his official position.Jin Qian wanted to confess a few words, but when he saw Qin Xianglian's happy eyes and rosy cheeks, and the elated expressions of the two little ghosts when they heard that they were going to see their father, the words that came to their lips couldn't be uttered, they were swallowed go back.

After Qin Xianglian's mother and son left in a sedan chair, all the people in Kaifeng Mansion returned to the mansion with their own concerns.

Back in the wing room, Jin Qian was restless, wandering around the room several times, he felt uneasy, as if he was pressed by a stone in a latrine, and what was even more annoying was that he had nothing to do at this time, so he could only Lie on the bed, take deep breaths and chant the Great Compassion Mantra.I don't know how long it has passed, Jin Qian only knew that the night was getting darker, but suddenly he heard a commotion outside the door, disordered footsteps hurried past the door, and a sentence containing the words "Qin Xianglian..." was faintly heard.

Jin Qian was startled, he jumped up from the bed, rushed to the door, and pulled the door panel open.

There were crowds of people outside the door, and under the dim light, several yamen servants carried a person and rushed into the east wing opposite to his own room.

Jin Qian had a bad idea: that east wing room is Mr. Gongsun's site, usually only those who are seriously injured can have the honor to visit, could it be that someone has won the prize - but, why does the person carried by those yamen servants look so much like Qin Xianglian? !

Thinking of this, Jin Qian immediately exerted his strength with his feet, and rushed to the East Chamber courtyard a few times.If you take a closer look, you will know that something is wrong.

I saw that the door of the first room in the east wing was wide open, and there were all kinds of characters inside.Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Bao, Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu all lined up one by one. Wang Chao and Ma Han couldn't squeeze in, so they had to guard the door.

When Ma Han saw that it was Jin Qian, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jin Qian."

Jin Qian saw that Ma Han's long face was half a foot longer than usual, and his heart turned cold. He took a breath and asked, "Brother Ma, but Qin Xianglian is back?"

Ma Han nodded, and before he could speak, Wang Chao shouted loudly: "My son-in-law is too much! He actually..."

After talking half a sentence, I couldn't continue.

Jin Qian took another breath and continued to ask: "Can I go in and have a look?"

When the two heard this, they realized that their two big men were blocking the door, and hurriedly moved out of the way to allow Jin Qian to enter.

It was noisy outside, but inside it was very quiet.

Jin Qian bypassed Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and saw Mr. Zhan Zhao and Mr. Bao standing at the head and end of the bed respectively. Mr. Gongsun was sitting on the side of the bed, taking the pulse of the person lying on the bed.The person lying on the bed, with pale-blue complexion, pale lips slightly blood-stained, eyes closed, disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, was Qin Xianglian who left a few hours ago.

Jin Qian rubbed his eyelids with the back of his hand, looked carefully several times, and finally confirmed that he did not admit the wrong person, and thought: What's the matter?Was this Qin Xianglian going to meet her lover or go on the [-]-mile Long March, and she only spent half a night out, so why did she look like a human and a ghost?

Then he turned his head to look at the two people at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.Mr. Bao needn't say any more, if the lamp is not turned on, perhaps only the eyes can be seen on one face, and Zhan Zhao on the other side - Jin Qian trembled when he saw it.

I saw that Zhan Zhao, with his sword-brows furrowed, his handsome eyes condensed with power, a murderous aura oozing from his elegant and handsome appearance, like a bowstring ready to go.

Jin Qian immediately felt like a bright mirror: In this Kaifeng mansion, anyone can be offended, but this cat can't be offended.Don't look at this cat who is usually gentle and elegant, and speaks kindly and politely. I think it is a "sultry type" in all likelihood. When it gets angry, it may be a volcanic eruption. Half of it dispersed immediately!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hastily moved two steps to the side of Mr. Gongsun, carefully avoiding the fire range of Zhang Zhao's line of sight.

At this time, Mr. Gongsun had just completed the diagnosis, put his hands back and got up, and replied to Mr. Bao: "My lord, this Qin Xianglian was in a hurry to attack her heart, and her qi and blood surged suddenly, hurting her heart and lungs, and she passed out. However, the old injury did not heal at this time. I'm afraid something is wrong."

When Master Bao heard this, he couldn't help being angry, and shouted in a low voice: "This Qin Xianglian and that Chen Shimei came to meet Wang Chengxiang's residence, what happened and why?"

Mr. Gongsun thought for a while and said: "My lord, I am afraid that only Qin Xianglian and that Chen Shimei know about this. The students boldly speculate that Chen Shimei may have done something extraordinary to make Qin Xianglian like this."

Jin Qian vomited blood: Please, do you still need to speculate?This is simply a louse on the bald man's head-obviously!

Lord Bao nodded, with a sad face on his face: "This residence shouldn't have allowed Qin Xianglian to go."

Mr. Gongsun shook his head: "My lord, it is Qin Xianglian's decision at this time, why should my lord blame herself?"

Jin Qian was not in the mood to listen to what these two people were talking about at this time. She looked around the house for a long time, but she still couldn't find the two people who should appear at this time. What about a pair of children?"

Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun listened to the words, but did not answer, they just lowered their eyes and remained silent.

Zhan Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly clasped his sword in both hands, and said loudly: "My lord, Chen Shimei must have brought those children back to the consort's mansion, and my subordinates will go find them!" Zhang Long and Zhao Hu immediately went with them.

"Guard Zhan!" Lord Bao suddenly shouted loudly, seeing Zhan Zhao suddenly stop and turn his head, he slowed down his voice again: "No!"

Zhan Zhao turned back and took a step forward, his eyebrows condensed slightly: "My lord!"

Mr. Gongsun looked at it and hurriedly said: "Guard Zhan, what kind of place is that consort's mansion, how can we rush in? What's more, we don't know if the children were really taken away by the consorts; even if it was Chen Shimei who took away a pair of children, We have no evidence, how can we come to ask someone?"

Mr. Gongsun's two strong rhetorical questions immediately left Zhan Zhao speechless, so he had to stand aside with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Jin Qian was in a state of disarray at this time. The various third-rate dramas he watched in the past were useless. After thinking about it for a long time, there was only one sentence in his mind, and he blurted out before he knew it, "A bright gun is easy to hide." , Hidden arrows are hard to guard against."

Although the words were faint, everyone in the room could hear them clearly.

Mr. Gongsun's eyes lit up, and he said with joy, "Brother Jin really awakened the dreamer with one word! My lord, the student has a plan."

"Tell me, sir!" Master Bao hurriedly said.

"My lord," Mr. Gongsun cupped his hands: "Since we cannot determine whether Qin Xianglian's children were taken away by the son-in-law, it is better to let the guards secretly visit the son-in-law's mansion at night, and when we have solid evidence, my lord will visit tomorrow and press the son-in-law. If the son-in-law admits to handing over the children, that’s fine, but if the son-in-law slips up and denies it, Zhan’s guards can act secretly and bring the two children before the adults, so that the son-in-law has no way to defend himself.”

"Sir, what a plan! In this way, the government can also have an explanation for Qin Xianglian." Master Bao's face softened half immediately after hearing this.

The murderous aura all over Zhan Zhao dissipated quite a bit immediately, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also nodded secretly.

Jin Qian felt relieved, and thought: Mr. Gongsun really deserves to be a role model for a generation of masters. It's really brilliant that he can make him come up with such a perfect strategy with a single sentence that he can't understand.

"It's just..." Mr. Gongsun seemed dissatisfied, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Students have one more thing to worry about."

Master Bao asked: "What are you worried about, sir?"

"Students are worried. The Prince Consort's Mansion is heavily guarded. I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu hurried forward, cupped their hands and said loudly: "My lord, this subordinate is willing to help your lord!"

Mr. Bao was very happy when he heard the words, and was about to agree, but was interrupted by Mr. Gongsun.

Mr. Gongsun shook his head and said: "No. This trip is just to inquire about news, no need to use force, just a person with excellent lightness kung fu and Zhan's guards to take care of each other. Although both of you are good at martial arts , but Qinggong is far from Zhanwei, so he is not a suitable candidate."

When Jin Qian heard this, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he hurriedly rubbed against the corner of the room, wanting to leave the scene.

But that Mr. Gongsun seemed to be specially trying to get along with Jin Qian, he shot straight at Jin Qian with his bright eyes, and said: "Brother Jin, you have a peerless lightness skill, do you want to help the guards?"

Jin Qian suddenly turned pale with fright, was so frightened that he couldn't stop using his tongue, and after a long time, he uttered only German, so he had to shake his head like a rattle, thinking: I don't want to!Of course not!The place Zhan Zhao is going to is the concubine's mansion, not the vegetable market. If he is not careful, he will lose his head. Who is so full that he has nothing to do, and is willing to go to the concubine's mansion to blow the cold wind with his head?

Everyone said that Mr. Gongsun was quick-witted, but at this time, for some reason, he misunderstood Jin Qian's meaning, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Jin is worried that he will hinder the guard Zhan?"

Jin Qian nodded quickly: That's right, that's right, we don't have any martial arts, and our lightness kung fu is not good enough. It's because the mud can't support the wall, and it will definitely hold the cat back.

Master Bao also smiled at this time and said: "Little brother is young, but he is so thoughtful, he will become a great weapon in the future."

Jin Qian's face twitched, and cold sweat broke out: "Old Bao, old Bao, you have a pun in your words. Don't you mean that I am the only one who goes to the son-in-law's mansion this time?"

Taking a deep breath, Jin Qian finally found his tongue, and was about to refuse, but was interrupted by two people who broke in from the door.

"Brother Jinqian has excellent lightness skills, and he will definitely not slow down your lord. My two brothers are willing to guarantee it!" Wang Chao Mahan said loudly at the door.

Jinqian was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while, and could only watch helplessly as the fourth-rank imperial guards with knives, Zhan Zhao, the "Royal Cat" personally appointed by the emperor, and Mr. Zhan walked in front of him heroically, clasped his fists and smiled Said: "Since this is the case, Zhan also hopes that Brother Jin will take care of him."

Bright eyes are as clear as water, thin lips are moist and smooth, a smile is like a spring breeze blowing on the face, and another smile is like the sky...

After Jin Qian almost nodded in agreement, he realized that he had fallen into a "beauty trick"...

Tsk tsk, it's really embarrassing for us dignified modern future people!

-

The son-in-law Chen Shimei's son-in-law's mansion was bestowed by the emperor of the dynasty. It faces south and covers an area of ​​40 hectares.Inside, there are many palaces and pavilions, more than [-] large and small courtyards, and seven or eight imperial gardens.In more detail, there are countless eunuchs, servants, maids, cooks, etc. inside, not to mention the guards inside, who work night shifts and are heavily guarded. Only.

Jin Qian lay on a certain roof of the son-in-law's mansion, carefully wiping the sweat on his neck with his cuff, his lungs were acutely hypoxic, but he still had to struggle to control his breathing, for fear of accidentally disturbing the patrolling soldiers below. Team.Looking at Zhan Zhao next to him, his complexion was as usual, his breath was long, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his face. A pair of black eyes were shining like stars in the night sky, and he was staring at the soldiers on the road under the house.

At this time, the two of them were at a high place, and they happened to see the topography of the Prince Consort's Mansion one by one.I saw that the Prince Consort's Mansion had multiple courtyards and many houses. At first glance, it was almost the same as a maze. When Jin Qian saw it, he immediately retreated. In addition, he had been running wildly for a long time before, and now he was exhausted. I shouted unlucky in my heart: Tsk tsk, everyone said that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, martial arts is world-class, and lightness kung fu is unparalleled, today we can be regarded as an eye-opener.From Kaifeng mansion to concubine's mansion, it's not far, it's not close, but at least it's one or two kilometers away, Zhan Zhao actually flew all the way here without changing his face and heartbeat, and his work efficiency has improved a lot , but it also hurt us, the future man who is the tail behind him.

NND, does Zhan Zhao have a grudge against us or something?Even if you are in a hurry, you don’t have to work so hard. Mr. Zhan, you have profound internal skills. Even if you run for a day and a night, it may not be a big problem. We don’t have half a point of internal skills. This lightness skill only relies on the mysterious footwork and the method of borrowing strength to support the facade. It's okay to run for your life casually, this long-distance business is really not our strong point!

Here, Jin Qian was complaining and working hard, suddenly a blur in front of his eyes interrupted his train of thought.Looking back, he saw that the soldiers had already left, and Zhan Zhao was stretching out his hand in front of his eyes to signal.Seeing Jinqian come back to his senses, Zhan Zhao tapped his toes, floated down from the roof, and landed quietly in the courtyard.When Jin Qian saw it, although he complained incessantly, he had no choice but to jump down with him, and also landed silently, but his figure was a bit embarrassed.

The place where the two landed was just behind a rockery. The moonlight was dim and the shadow of the mountain was shrouded. It happened to be an excellent place to hide.

Zhan Zhao moved and was about to move forward, but Jin Qian grabbed his sleeve.

"Master Zhan," Jin Qian said in a low voice, "Do you have a map of the Prince Consort's Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "No."

When Jin Qian heard this, he almost collapsed, and thought: Just kidding, there are eighty rooms in this concubine's mansion, but we don't even have a guide map. We have no clue where the two little ghosts are. try to find?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurriedly said: "Since there is no map, where can we find it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, and said, "Brother Jinqian, don't worry, Zhan has his own plans."

After saying that, he bowed his luck and ran towards the courtyard.

When Jin Qian saw it, he had no choice but to bend down, scurry away, and followed Zhan Zhao despondently.

Along the way, Jin Qian was terrified, the patrols ran into him six times, and the eunuchs and maids encountered him nine times. If Zhan Zhao hadn't heard and seen well enough to remind Jin Qian in time, Jin Qian might have gone back and forth several times to the gate of hell.

I don't know how long it took, when the two came to a remote courtyard with luxuriant vegetation, Zhan Zhao finally stopped his figure, and kept his brows silent, as if he had discovered something.

Jin Qian looked at it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Zhan, did you find anything?"

Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, walked around a few times, arrived behind a bush, and pointed forward.

Jin Qian followed Zhan Zhao's finger to look, and saw a wooden house behind the bushes, overgrown with weeds, dilapidated, with broken window lattices, and shaking door panels. Strangely, there was a huge wooden house hanging on the broken door panel. The copper lock is as bright as new.

Just listen to Zhan Zhao said: "This courtyard is located in a remote part of the Consort's Mansion, it should be a place to store sundries, but why such a precious copper lock is used to seal the door, isn't it puzzling."

Jin Qian thought the same way, hurriedly went forward with Zhan Zhao, leaned on the window lattice and looked into the room.

It doesn't matter, Jin Qian almost cried out.

I saw two immature children lying on the bed in the wooden house, they were Qin Xianglian's twins: Ning'er and Xin'er.

When Jin Qian saw the pair of little ghosts, their clothes were disheveled, their hair was disheveled, and their faces were tear-stained, he couldn't help but feel sore, and wanted to call out when his heart moved, but Zhan Zhao held his tongue.

Looking back, I saw Zhan Zhao's eyes were deep and deep like Mo Ye, he shook his head slightly and said, "Don't startle the snake at this time, since you already know where Qin Xianglian's children are, it's better for us to leave quickly."

Only then did Jin Qian recall what Mr. Gongsun said, and he sighed secretly.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao lowered his palm, signaled to Jin Qian, and jumped onto the roof, Jin Qian immediately followed.

The two, one in front and one behind, were like phantoms, flying freely on the room, and after a while, they left the consort's mansion.

Along the way, the two had nothing to say to each other, they just walked together silently, each with their own concerns.

What Jin Qian is worried about is not knowing whether the plan for tomorrow will be successful.And Zhan Zhao was also preoccupied. Although Jin Qian didn't know why, but seeing Zhan Zhao's serious face, he must be worried about tomorrow's trip, and the atmosphere was solemn and oppressive.

When the two returned to the side gate of the Kaifeng mansion, Zhan Zhao saluted Jin Qian: "Little brother Jin Qian, thank you for your generous help tonight, Zhan has to report to the adults, so I won't accompany you any longer."

Jin Qian hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Master Zhan, you are welcome, please take it lightly." He said in his heart: "Mao'er, you should go quickly, you are by the side, this psychological pressure is too great."

Zhan Zhao nodded, turned around and left, Jin Qian also walked towards the Confucian Courtyard, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly heard Zhan Zhao's voice from behind: "Little brother, who gave you such lightness kung fu?" Professor?"

Jin Qian was taken aback for a moment, his body froze immediately, and his heart was not good: This has no beginning and no end, why did Zhan Zhao suddenly say such a sentence?Could it be that he saw that our lightness kung fu is a "happy excursion" and that we are the apprentices of the poison sage and the immortal doctor... Hey, hey, today is already unlucky enough, there is no need to make it better!If my identity is exposed because of this, wouldn't it attract a large number of people who seek revenge... Wait, this "Happy Journey" was newly edited by the two masters for themselves. It is the latest version. Few people have seen it before, not to mention that we hide this medical skill perfectly, how could it be possible to reveal the truth, I must be thinking too much, calm down, calm down!

Jinqian rolled his eyes a few times, but still felt that it was wrong to answer, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "This... the master didn't tell the villain, and the villain didn't know either."

Zhan Zhao didn't ask any further questions, but just walked towards Mr. Bao's study.

Jin Qian shook his neck, really couldn't think of a reason, so he had to go to the wing room.

Back in the wing room, Jin Qian was tossing and turning. Although he was exhausted, he couldn't fall asleep despite trying his best. He felt that there was something strange about what happened tonight.

Thinking about the Kaifeng mansion, everyone is dedicated to their duties, how can I let myself, an outsider, intervene in the affairs of the mansion?

Besides, Zhan Zhao, with his skills, is more than enough to visit the concubine's mansion at night alone, why bother to drag himself into this oil bottle?

And the last sentence Zhan Zhao asked tonight... When did this majestic Nan Xia also become a role of inquiring about other people's privacy?

The more Jin Qian thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were hundreds of flies buzzing in his head, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable and upset. He could not help turning over from the bed and sitting up, wanting to drink water Sober and sober.

But as soon as he sat up halfway, he was startled to feel something lying across his neck, radiating cold light and murderous aura, it was actually a cold long sword.

Jin Qian was startled, his hands and feet were cold all of a sudden, his gaze moved up slowly along the long sword, and he saw that the person holding the long sword, his sword eyebrows were flying, his star pupils were ice-cold, and his terrifying breath was covering his body.

Jin Qian only felt that all internal organs went on strike in an instant, and the blood in his whole body suddenly coagulated, and his mouth trembled for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a few words: "Master Zhan, Zhan Zhan..."

That's right, the person pointing his sword at Jin Qian's throat at this moment is actually that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao!
