I drank the old ginseng and deer antler soup made by Fujin. Although it tasted weird, it still felt delicious and not bad.

Traveling to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the regent's daughter-in-law actually cooked soup for me. In the past, it was unimaginable. It's worth it that I took a bullet for the Regent.

Me: "Junior sister, this soup is good. You can also have a bowl. Come and try it."

I casually made a bowl for my junior sister, who took it and tasted it.

Junior Sister: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother, Junior Sister also wants to ask you something."

Me: "You ask that, except for that matter, junior sister can ask anything."

Junior sister: "I heard from Fujin that the assassin's words today seemed to be very arrogant, wasn't he?"

My heart moved: "Yes, yes, today's assassin is very hateful. He is so vicious and so hateful! Junior sister, I've finished drinking this soup. It's not bad. You should thank Fujin more when you come back. Oh my, I still have it. There is a lot left. This soup is good and cannot be wasted. In this way, you and Xiaohua each drink some to replenish blood and Qi. This is a good thing. Don’t waste it. Oops, senior brother has finished drinking and is a little sleepy now. It’s time to take a nap. Junior sister, please go back first.”

The junior sister agreed with a half-smile: "Okay then, senior brother, have a good rest, then I will serve Xiaohua some soup."

After seeing off my junior sister, I felt so depressed that I couldn't relax. This mean-mouthed assassin was really annoying. Having said that, I am so handsome and everyone says I look good. Although we are not as elegant and suave as Wang Yu, we are still known as the golden gun and white faced tiger in the world. My nickname of golden gun and white face is widely praised.

I murmured to myself: "You are an assassin, how can you be so mean-mouthed? It is not good to assassinate anyone, but to assassinate my patron, it is really... a pity."

While I was thinking randomly, I fell into a deep sleep. After all, I encountered this sudden shock today. No matter how good my qigong is, my iron-clad body cannot withstand it. After a while I fell asleep.

The next day, the Regent's reward was carried to the courtyard, and everyone came here to watch.

I took a quick look, my dear, there are boxes of silver ingots, plates of gold ingots, a lot of silks and satins, beautiful enamel porcelain, there are so many treasures. It's like moving, it won't empty the regent's treasury.

Me: "Thank you so much for the treasures given by the regent, Xiaohua, take some silver to thank all the father-in-law and maid. Go quickly."

After a while, I sent away the gang of father-in-laws and maids, and I called Dalong Dabiao and the others to move the gold and silver to the back room. Later, these things will be sent to the mountains to be used as military expenses.

At this time, Wu Gege came over with a box: "Master, the Prince Regent has a treasure for you. Please wear it in the future."

I took the box in surprise: "What? What kind of treasure did the Prince Regent give me?"

Wugege: "You will know when you open it."

I opened the box and took a look, only to see an emerald green jade ring. Oops, isn't this the jade ring worn by Zaifeng? how? Are you giving it to me now? Thank you for my life-saving grace? It's too expensive. Do you want me to wear it in the future? What does it mean?

Wugege waved his hand at this time, and a group of eunuchs came over carrying several large wardrobes, and then a group of palace maids carried a pile of clothes. Then they entered my room and started tidying up.

I was stunned: "What do you mean, Lao Wu? Isn't this the regent's official uniform? Lao Wu, did you send it to the wrong place? You should send it to the courtyard next door."

Zai Na smiled and said: "Master, these official uniforms were sent to the right place, they are for you to wear.

I was shocked: "What do you mean, Lao Wu, I have become the regent? Zaifeng quits?"

Wu Gege chuckled: "Master, listen to me, these are the clothes that the Regent wears most often. Master, from now on, whatever clothes the Regent wears every day, Master, you will wear. Of course, these will be made by The palace maid who is dedicated to serving you will be in charge. You only need to wear clothes. And the ring finger is a treasure left by Emperor Qianlong. This treasure will belong to the master forever."

I shook my head in surprise: "Zaifeng is asking for a substitute. Are you having fun? I am a substitute? Whose bad idea came up with this?"

Zai Na chuckled: "It was your apprentice's idea. Master, don't be angry. These clothes are made of silk and satin, made for you by the best master in the palace. These are the best clothes in the world." Nice clothes. You must like them."

I grabbed Zai Na's little arm: "Zaina, Zai Na, you are such a sweetheart of the master. When others worship the master, they give them gold, silver and jewelry, but when you worship the master, you are just giving him eye drops." ,right."

Zai Na: "Oh Master, please spare my disciple. I will never dare to do this again."

I thought for a moment, and finally gave up punishing Zai Na. Now that Zai Feng's safety is important, I can temporarily serve as a substitute and be able to protect him better.

Me: "Okay, that's fine. The regent's safety is also greatly guaranteed. You go out, and the palace maids will go out too. You just need to tell me in advance what clothes Zaifeng will wear every day."

Zai Na bowed carefully: "Thank you, master. I will take my leave."

Junior sister was already outside and could clearly hear what was going on. She came over angrily: "Brother, this regent is too much! We will quit this task and return to Taihang."

I put the green ring on my finger, and then I smiled: "Junior sister, Zaifeng can't die! And this ring is a treasure, it can be sold for a lot of money!"

Since that day of the assassination, I have become Zaifeng's stand-in. He wears the same clothes as Zaifeng every day, wears the same ring, and wanders around the palace. One is to confuse assassins who may appear at any time, and the other is on daily patrol.

Wherever I passed by, eunuchs, maids, guards, etc., when they saw me from a distance, they immediately retreated to the roadside, bowed respectfully, and shouted "good luck to the regent" one by one.

I didn’t quite understand, but it was because I put on the clothes of the Prince Regent that I became the Prince Regent? Or do you become the regent by wearing the regent's ring?

Those palace maids and eunuchs who saluted me from a distance, I doubted that they dared to look at my face at all. They were probably just saluting the clothes I was wearing. Maybe it was a salute to the ring ring I was wearing.

However, wearing the regent's clothes also has advantages, that is, I can stroll around the garden casually. As long as there is nothing else to do, I can stroll around the garden casually. There are many delicious snacks in the garden. I want to eat them. What to eat? I no longer have the same scruples as before.

When those palace maids saw me coming, they would often bring out the best snacks and tea, the best service attitude, and say sweet auspicious words to the Regent. They knew that I was the substitute of the Regent, but they still acted so realistically and provided such perfect services. I'm quite embarrassed about the poor service.

The key point is that I quite enjoy the services they provide. Oh, this evil old feudal society. It’s really corrosive.

On this day, I was wandering around the palace, and suddenly I heard someone from behind shouting: "Brother Seven!"

I turned around in confusion and saw a strange man. The strange man was also stunned when he saw me.

Strange man: "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be my seventh brother!"

I understand, this is probably some kind of royal relative, a relative of the Manchu people.

Me: "Hello, don't get me wrong, I am the regent's substitute! Walking around in this garden is work. Don't get me wrong, I am one of my own."

The man looked at me for a long time, then angrily shook his sleeves and left.

This is really unreasonable. If it weren't for the delicious snacks in the garden, do you think I would be willing to be Zaifeng's substitute? Really.

Next, I didn’t pay too much attention. I walked around in the garden and then returned to my yard to prepare for dinner.

As soon as I sat down and was preparing to eat, someone outside shouted: "Master, Master, the Regent is here to invite you!"

I silently put down my chopsticks. Oh, it's you Dalong again, interrupting Master's meal again. Forget it, go check it out.

I put on my ring ring and went to find Zaifeng. After a while, I arrived at Zaifeng's study. Zaifeng was talking to several people at the moment. One of them looked familiar to me, it was the guy I met in the garden today.

Me: "Meet the Regent Chitose."

Zaifeng nodded to me and motioned for me to sit down.

A voice sounded: "This is this rebel traitor. He turned out to be an officer of the National Salvation Association. He specializes in the dirty work of shaking up the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. Seventh Brother, kill him!"

I looked up and saw that it was the guy I met in the garden today. How could he know my background?

Zai Feng calmly waved his hand: "Old Nineteen, wait a minute, don't be in a hurry. Shan Feng, have you ever participated in a demonstration? Can you tell the truth?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "This must be the Nineteenth County Prince. The regent is Chitose. What the Nineteenth County Prince said is true. In the early years, I was indeed a member of the National Salvation Association. And I was also an officer."

As soon as I said this, several young people present were filled with righteous indignation. One by one they took out pistols from their bodies and pointed them at me, as if they were going to kill me in a moment.

Being pointed at so many pistols, even though I have special skills, four or five pistols were too many, and I was still slightly apprehensive.

Zaifeng was furious: "What are you doing! Do you all want to rebel? Put down your guns!"

A few of the people were startled when they heard this and then put it down. Only the Nineteenth County Prince remained unyielding and pointed his gun at me.

Zaifeng: "Old Nineteen, don't you even listen to Brother Seven?"

The Nineteenth County Prince put down his pistol unwillingly at this time: "Brother Qi, this guy is not a good guy!"

Zaifeng: "Nonsense! Don't you know whether Shan Feng is a good person or not? Don't be impulsive. Let Shan Feng finish his words first."

The Nineteenth County Prince: "You don't need to say anything, I have already sent people to investigate this guy clearly. Seventh brother, since you said that an expert from Taihang came to your house, I sent a few retainers to Taihang to investigate." This person, Shan Feng, nicknamed Golden Spear and White Faced Tiger, is the third disciple of Taihang Tianji. However, your original name is Li Shan, right? You are not a good bandit, you are a rebellious traitor!"

Being scolded by the Nineteenth County Prince, my anger built up little by little.
