How can I unite my heart and sword? It's just a matter of adapting to circumstances. I have never dared to reveal the swordsmanship of the Four Scatters to the public, and today I have no choice but to do so. He spoke so truthfully that I didn’t know how to answer, so I could only say: “I’ve offended you so much, please forgive me!”
Mu Shigu said with a smile: "It is inevitable for people who practice martial arts to have some bumps and bruises. Who hasn't been successful? It's just that my little brother's swordsmanship is wonderful and unexpected, haha!" I don't know how to answer more and more, but Seeing that he had wrapped the wound, he drank another glass of wine and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first. After I recover from my injury, I can come visit you another day!" After that, he stood up, put on his clothes and hat, and strode into the sky. , pushed open the door, and walked away.
We were stunned for a moment, no one dared to stop us, but the wind poured in from the door, which made people shiver. In a moment, all the brothers burst into cheers, and I suddenly felt that I was covered in sweat. Ning Boyang came over He said: "Second brother, you are really good at martial arts!" I pointed my finger at my forehead and said softly: "It scared me to death!" Ning Boyang patted my back and said, "You are really hiding something." I thought about it and said, "Don't spread this matter outside. We'll talk about it when we get back to Beijing!" Everyone nodded. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Lao Qiu just couldn't remember it anymore and hurried to close the door.
Suddenly, three people walked in at the door, covered with snowflakes. They walked in carelessly, shook the snow off their bodies, and took off their hats. What they saw were three wrinkled faces. Lao Qiu was so frightened that he stepped back, "But Do you have meat and wine? Just come up!" Someone yelled in a sharp voice.
Lao Qiu nodded blankly, and the man said: "Hurry up and get ready!" He suddenly saw us, his face was slightly stunned, and then he snorted and sat down at a table, looked at us and asked "Who is in charge?" He said, taking off his mink cloak, shaking it gently, and touching it lovingly. As we watched, the man took out a jade plaque from his arms and waved it at us. , can already see the words Dongchang clearly!
I saw that they behaved arrogantly, and I could tell that they were no ordinary people. Before I could say anything, Ning Boyang stood up and cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that Eunuch Lu, Eunuch Chang, and Eunuch Gao of Dongchang are here. We are the Fusi of Beizhen." The Jinyiwei were ordered to protect the Marquis Mansion when traveling. The team is led by General Zhang Ying and Zhang Qi, and his subordinate Ning Boyang is temporarily leading the small flag!"
I stood up in a hurry, raised my hands and saluted: "Three gentlemen, I am subordinate Zhang Ying!" But the man ignored me and said to Ning Boyang: "You are Xiaoqi, how can you answer for your superior? Slap!"
We were shocked, and Ning Boyang was even more embarrassed. He looked at me and then at the father-in-law, and one of them said: "Lao Lu, don't make things difficult for this little brat. If he knows our family, it means that someone still cares about us." We are also blessed by him! If the caregivers outside had not seen our badges, how would they recognize us? Hi!" A slightly fat father-in-law said: "Our surname is Gao, his surname is Chang, Zhang Ying, come here! "
I signaled Ning Boyang to step back, and I stepped forward. Eunuch Gao's sharp eyes had already seen the luminous pearl on my table, and his eyes suddenly straightened. I secretly regretted not having time to put it away. Eunuch Gao looked back at the two father-in-laws and turned his head. Come, he already smiled and said: "We came out in the snow on the orders of Eunuch Wang Yue, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, just to retrieve this bead. I don't think so, little brother, you have made a meritorious service!"
Eunuch Chang next to me said to the other Jinyi guards before I could answer: "You all go out, our family has to talk about business!"
Everyone stood up and looked at me. I waved them away, but I couldn't bear them to go outside. I said carefully: "Don't worry, three father-in-laws. They are all our own people. It's freezing in the weather. I really can't bear to let them go." Go out and tell me if you have any orders!" I couldn't help but wonder why they were so coincidental and vaguely worried about Mu Shi Gu Lai.
Eunuch Gao nodded and said to Eunuch Chang: "What this child is saying is that there is no need to have so many taboos. The dignified eunuch guarding the East Factory is doing business here, and he is afraid of people seeing him!" The last few sentences clearly raised his voice. Tell it to everyone. I motioned for everyone to move closer to the window. Eunuch Gao saw me and asked me to sit down. He smiled and urged Lao Qiu to serve some wine and meat. The other two people were sullen and did not raise their heads. They just packed their briefcases and took out some official documents from time to time. Sure enough, there was Dongchang. Posts, but most of them are documents from the Chenghua period. I could tell they wanted me to see it, and I couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
"Little brother, the three of us are all old men. They ran out in the snow just to find this bead." Eunuch Gao looked at me and said, "It happened to be that you found it, so we want to know what you want." What to do with this bead?”
As he spoke, he looked directly at me. I considered their thoughts and guessed that they wanted to take credit for retrieving the beads. This incident was originally an unintentional move, and meeting Mu Shigu was an accident. So I really don’t want this credit. So, I smiled and said: "How did the people who were ordered to escort the Marquis's Mansion know about the beads? This matter has nothing to do with me. You found the beads. Congratulations to the three father-in-laws!"
"This kid is really good at talking, and he speaks so beautifully!" Eunuch Chang, who had a sullen face, laughed, his face walnut-marked, and he quickly stopped his smile, took out a bronze mirror from his arms, and looked at himself for a long time. Eunuch Gao was not polite, he just took the bead in his hand and opened it in front of the other two people. After confirming it carefully, he wrapped it carefully and put it in his arms.
Not long after, Lao Qiu brought the wine and meat, and I helped the three of them fill it up. Eunuch Lu's face softened, he put down his bronze mirror and said, "It's so cold today! Our faces are all red from the cold." Chang The father-in-law then advised him to drink wine and act like a couple. Eunuch Lu drank a few glasses of wine and his face turned even redder. Eunuch Gao didn't pay attention to the joking between them, but kept asking about my origins. I said randomly that I had been serving the people for generations, and had been favored by the court. Jinyiwei. These are what Liao Jianzhong asked me to say. Apparently, he was avoiding Eunuch Zhang Yong’s suggestion.
These three people didn't doubt me. They just regarded me as a small role and gradually abandoned me. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they gradually started to smell like drunk, and even started talking about things in Dongchang. I just listened and unknowingly, half an hour passed.
They mentioned Manager Wang's affairs from time to time. Eunuch Lu talked endlessly, and Eunuch Chang asked from time to time, saying that this man was a great hero who entered the palace since he was a child. Because of his good looks and the fact that Emperor Xianzong had no sons, he was deeply loved by Xianzong. Zonghe Wan Guifei's favor. At the age of fourteen, Mr. Wang started running errands for the emperor. Xianzong trusted him so much that he even established the West Factory, which was parallel to the East Factory, for him. His power even exceeded that of the East Factory and he could investigate the East Factory. At that time, General Manager Wang took the world as his own responsibility, investigated and punished corrupt officials, and turned the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty upside down. Later, the officials quit, saying that Emperor Taizu had an order strictly prohibiting ministers from intervening in politics. At first, the emperor didn't care and still authorized Manager Wang to punish corruption and eliminate evil. As a result, these civil servants came to Japan every day. The emperor just withdrew the West Factory and asked Manager Wang to go to Nanjing.
Eunuch Chang asked: "How is Manager Wang doing now? Is he still in Nanjing?"
Eunuch Lu shook his head and said, "He's gone a long time ago! If he were here, our family would have achieved righteousness by following him for many years. Hey, people are life. Fame, wealth and wealth are all external things. Our family is still alive. As for his Life or death is unknown. You must know that he has offended many people for many years in handling cases. Mr. Hongzhi has always hated our family, and we all avoid it like dogs in distress. The sixty-year-old manager Wang is even more troublesome. gone."
Eunuch Gao looked at me and said: "I heard that he is as rich as the enemy, but I don't know where he is!" Eunuch Lu said: "You are on to something, why did Eunuch Wang let the three of us come out to look for beads? This bead is inextricably linked to Manager Wang."
When we heard what he said mysteriously, we all wanted to know. Eunuch Lu looked at me and said, "Our family doesn't know this either. We just heard it from Eunuch Wang! But hey, it's good for you to see it!" With that, Ask Eunuch Gao to take out the bead, open it carefully, hold the bead with his hand, face the light, and say: "There is a word on it!" They all came over to take a look, and naturally it was the word "ten". Eunuch Gao said: "That's strange. This bead is so good. How come there is a 'ten' in it? Could it be related to Eunuch Wang?" Eunuch Chang suddenly clapped his hands and said, "That's for sure. A few days ago, we I asked a fortune teller to test Chinese characters, and I know a little bit about it. The character '十' must be related to the character '王'?" Eunuch Gao was stunned and said, "What does it have to do with it?" Eunuch Chang's face turned red and he glanced at us. He said proudly: "The middle of the word 'Wang' is '十'!"
We were stunned. If the character "十" is related to the character "王", then what is the explanation for the character "eight" in my hand?
