Rebirth of Bamboo Horse Treacherous

The servant outside the carriage knocked on the window respectfully and cautiously again, "Master, it's midnight."

Qu Huai'an twirled the jadeite wrench on his thumb, remained silent for a while, and said, "Go back."

The domestic servant bowed to accept the order, jumped on the shaft of the cart to pull the horse's head, and then the sound of "da da da" horse's hooves sounded in the middle of the night, from the street to the end of the street, it disappeared into the silent night in a short while.

In the dimly lit room, Pei Ye had already slept soundly. In the outer room separated from him by a wall, Shen Guzhi was sitting by the desk neatly dressed in a robe.

There was a chessboard with black and white chess pieces criss-crossing each other on the desk. Shen Guzhi looked at the chessboard and picked a black chess piece in his hand to play with.Shen Yi quietly emerged from the darkness like a ghost, whispered a few words in Shen Guzhi's ear, and then wanted to lift the Sujin lampshade to light the candle wick.

"It's okay." Shen Guzhi raised his hand to stop him, Shen Yi glanced at the door of the inner room, which was half-closed, and put down his hand as if realizing something.

"Shen Er and the others are back?"

"Yes, there are also people sent by His Royal Highness the Prince."

Shen Guzhi put down the chess pieces, flicked his sleeves and said, "Let them in."

"Yes." Shen Yi went out in response, and then Shen Er walked in with a man dressed as a guard.

"The next official, Chen Zhong, will follow Young Master Shen with the order of His Royal Highness, but only by order!" Chen Zhong, with a big knife on his waist, took a step forward and knelt in front of Shen Guzhi.

"The chief guard of the morning does not need to be formal. I wonder if His Royal Highness has any other instructions for Luoyang?"

Chen Zhong got up and cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness said that Tiangao Luyuan doesn't need to report everything, and everything can be handled by the young master."

Shen Guzhi nodded, "Then I'll trouble Chief Chen the guard along the way."

"Subordinates dare not." Chen Zhong bowed in salute.

Shen Guzhi smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, after traveling for a few days, I won't delay the morning guard's rest, Shen Yi."

"Yes." Shen Yi heard the voice appear.

Seeing Shen Yi appearing at the door, Shen Guzhi continued: "Take the chief bodyguard down to rest."

"Yes."

After Shen Yiyi and Chen Zhong left, only Shen Guzhi and Shen Er, master and servant, were left in the room. Without outsiders, Shen Guzhi stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "Have you sent the ledger?"

"Yes." Shen Er knelt down and answered, "As you expected, my subordinates met Ji Ranxi not long after leaving the Ji Mansion, but it was not the secret guard of the Ji Mansion, but the twelve guards from Qingyin Valley. The Qingsha girl, led by the genius doctor Qi Xiu, followed us for two days, and finally pretended to be an order in a small town, and they robbed the account book."

Shen Guzhi asked: "The miracle doctor Qi Xiu?"

"Yes."

Curling the corners of his mouth, Shen Guzhi smiled softly: "It seems that this season's miracle doctor is not as aloof from the world and compassionate as in the legend."

Shen Er didn't speak, but Shen Qi who ran in to deliver the medicine heard it, and hurriedly added, "Even if Ji Ranxi really wants to keep aloof from the world, I'm afraid he can't let him go. The news that the ledger fell into Qingyin Valley It has already been spread, and when they find that the items in the ledger are gone, no one will believe them if they try to bite us back. After all, they snatched it from us on the way to His Highness the Crown Prince. And Ji Ranbai also Secretly helping King Pingyang to do things, a prince who just failed to fight for the throne is wrong to leave a good prince, and instead snatch a secret account book... Haha, I am afraid that many people will not be able to sleep again."

Seeing Shen Qi swaggering in with a medicine bowl in one hand and looking unruly, Shen Er frowned, but since his son was present, it was not easy to teach him a lesson, so he asked dryly, "Why are you making the medicine now!"

Shen Qi immediately made a bitter face, "It's not my fault at all! Who told us that there were snakes in the yard allocated to us by the fat man! I took sulfur and smoked it everywhere for a day, especially the kitchen, and I could only enter it at night. , and then survived until now..."

Shen Qi's nature is loose and unrestrained, he is not afraid of the sky, he dares to laugh and play in front of Shen Guzhi, but since he was a child, he has been afraid of his second brother!A cold face usually has no expression, and the stare of the eyes is even more frightening.

Shen Er gave him a warning look and didn't speak, Shen Qi quickly straightened up and put away his hippie smile, handed the medicine bowl to Shen Gu Zhi respectfully, and hurried away.

"You go down too." Shen Gu Zhi blew on the medicine, and Shen Er bowed and retreated.

The next day, Qu Huai'an, who had waited for half the night but did not find anyone, arrived at Chao Mansion in Jiangdu early in the morning.Pei Ye and Shen Guzhi waited until Shen Er, Shen Sanchen, the chief guard and others in Jiangdu, and decided to say goodbye to Chao He and his wife. As soon as they came out, they saw Qu Huai'an standing in the hall. They were surprised and immediately understood his purpose.

"Master Qu, is this?" Pei Ye said nothing, and Chao He, as the master, had to jump out to break the embarrassment.

Qu Huai'an cupped his hands to him, and said with a smile: "I heard that Jiangdu is beautiful, and I want to invite Mr. Pei, Mr. Shen, to go out together. Of course, you, the local guide, are indispensable."

"That's really unfortunate, we're going to be on the road today." Shen Qi stood beside Pei Ye, looking at him with regret.

Qu Huai'an's heart trembled when he heard the words, before he finished digesting the news, he only heard Shen Qi say again: "It's been a long time since I came to Jiangdu, I haven't even gone out yet, I just smoked snakes with sulfur all day long!"

"Then it's better to let me be the host, everyone stay one more day." Qu Huai'an tentatively said with a smile.

"That won't work!" Shen Qi's eyes crossed, "We've been delayed for too long, Young Master Fang is waiting for us to go over at the Beijiang barracks, and it's time to lose our temper if we go late!"

Qu Huai'an frowned, restrained his anger and said, "Lord Pei and General Fang really have a deep affection for each other!"

"That's right, I've been playing since I was a child!"

"Fang Yan has been promoted to general?!"

Shen Qi and Pei Ye spoke in unison, and looked at Qu Huai'an with wide eyes.Qu Huai'an was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he said, and his expression suddenly became subtle.He was just a prefect, and he didn't know anything about the military camp. He just put the name of Mr. Fang on his lips for a while, and then he was caught and questioned.

"With Young Master Fang's ability, it's definitely not a problem to be appointed as a general in the future." Qu Huai'an changed the subject, deliberately talking about him.

Pei Ye glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "Nowadays, His Majesty hates buying and selling officials and nobles to give and receive privately, Mr. Qu must be more careful in what he says in the future..."

"What Mr. Pei said is true." Qu Huai'an lowered his head, deliberately biting down on the word 'Mr. Pei' to mock Pei Ye.

But who is Pei Ye?How can a person who has been stalking chickens and dogs since he was a child, and who is thick-skinned and can't be compared with the corners of the city wall, blush because of such a trivial matter?

joke!

Confronted with the official title that he received privately, Pei Ye taught Qu Huai'an, who had received the official title casually, and stepped out of Chao Mansion in a good mood.
