Zhao Hongjin smiled and said to Lao Wu: "I don't think he is a bad person. I think he is pretty good, don't you think?"
When Lao Wu heard Zhao Hongjin's voice, he jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail, and his head hit the roof of the carriage.
While pointing at Zhao Hongjin, he asked Shao Xi: "This girl was so shrill and shrill yesterday. Why has she become so loud and rough now, like a man? Did you give her something to eat?" Did you hurt your throat? Brat, don't do too many immoral things, or you will be punished."
Shao Xi was told by Lao Wu that the boss was not happy.
"You just do something immoral? You get retribution for anything? Old guy, can you open your eyes and take a good look? Is this the person you were yesterday? Fortunately, you have been around in the world for so many years, even men and women I can’t tell the difference, it’s really embarrassing!”
Old Wu was stunned by what Shao Xi said. He turned his head and looked straight at Zhao Hongjin, but no matter how he looked, he still had the same face as yesterday, but the voice he spoke just now was clearly completely different from yesterday.
You can't blame Lao Wu for this.
Today Shao Xi went to the palace to meet Zhao Hongjin, the young emperor of Southern Zhao, but Old Wu did not see him! He was just waiting for Shao Xi to come out on the carriage outside the palace. How did he know that the little emperor of Southern Zhao was the twin brother of the girl yesterday? Little did he know that the young emperor of Southern Zhao, Zhao Hongjin, was dressing up as a woman at this time.
At this time, Zhao Hongjin was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Old Wu, so she said: "Senior, the woman you saw yesterday is my twin sister, so it is reasonable for you to think of me as her. I am a man. , not a girl."
After being explained by Zhao Hongjin, Lao Wu suddenly understood. He finally understood why the woman's voice was different today from yesterday. It turned out that she was actually a man.
So he gave Shao Xi a hard look without a good look, scolding this brat for playing tricks on himself again.
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong, and quickly asked Shao Xi: "Is that girl yesterday a member of the palace? So is the one in front of me also a member of the palace? They brothers and sisters turned out to be maids and eunuchs in the palace? I said Why did you abduct a eunuch from the palace? The one you abducted was the brother of the girl yesterday. Could it be that you really fell in love with that girl and got her brother out when you couldn't get her? "
Shao Xi almost fainted from Old Wu's anger.
What kind of thinking does this old guy have? You think that their brother and sister are maids and eunuchs in the palace, which is understandable, but why do you fall in love with that girl? Why did I get a eunuch out of the palace? Does this old guy think he has some special hobby? If I don't explain this clearly now, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly in my life.
Not to mention Shao Xi, even Zhao Hongjin was confused by Lao Wu!
Why did he become a eunuch when he was doing well? He was still a eunuch who was abducted from the palace by Shao Xi! I had already made a fool of myself by pretending to be a woman today, why did I become neither a man nor a woman as soon as I left the palace? It seems that this misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger now, and now I am not even sure about my gender.
Shao Xi said to Lao Wu with a pale face: "Old guy, I think you are itchy again! Tell me clearly, what are you thinking about now? If you want to be a little bit wrong today, I can't even spare you. You're old and your mind is full of messy things. Don't say you know me in the future. I can't afford to lose this person to you, you disrespectful old man."
This scolding made Lao Wu anxious.
"You brat, you brought this person into the carriage inexplicably. You didn't tell me what was going on and just let me guess. How should I guess? You got a man dressed as a woman to get on the carriage, and he still looked exactly like the girl yesterday. My twin brother, who knows what tricks you are playing? Now you are blaming me, isn’t it because you didn’t make it clear yourself?”
Zhao Hongjin started to pinch the young and old at the sight, and quickly explained: "Senior, please calm down, it is true that we didn't make it clear before. The senior saw me yesterday, my sister Zhao Hongmian, my name is Zhao Hongjin, it's him My biological brother, we are not palace maids or eunuchs, I am a complete man, seniors, please don’t misunderstand me.”
"Oh! Look, it's over once you explain it clearly. Why do you let me guess here and there? I said the same thing for you, a young man. Why do you pretend to be a woman if you don't know? I think you are with me if you don't know. Are my sisters twins? How can such a young girl have such a strange hobby? "
What Lao Wu said made Zhao Hongjin blush, and he quickly turned to look at Shao Xi. What he meant was, "Hurry up and explain to me! If this is misunderstood, how will I behave in the future?"
Shao Xi also knew that if this was not explained clearly, Lao Wu would definitely continue to misunderstand, so he reached out and pulled Lao Wu to his side.
"I said that the older you get, the more colorful thoughts you have in your mind. Don't you think you have heard his name somewhere?"
Lao Wu rolled his eyes and said: "It's not that I have too many fancy ideas, it's that you play some random tricks all day long. I know what song you are singing now? What's wrong with his name? He also said it just now, he My sister’s name is Zhao Hongmian, and his name is Zhao Hongjin, is there anything wrong?”
As soon as he said this, Old Wu shut his mouth immediately, as if he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Shao Xi with wide yellow eyes, then turned to look at Zhao Hongjin, then turned back to look at Shao Xi again, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Zhao Hongjin? He is Zhao Hongjin? You actually took him out of the palace and made him like this. Is there something wrong with your head? Who is this? Did you kid play a little too much? I just don't know. The sky is high and the earth is high, are you seeking death? What if the people of Nanzhao find out about this? It would be weird if they don’t strip you naked and parade you through the streets!"
No! You dressed up someone else's emperor like a big girl and secretly smuggled him out of the palace. If the people of Nan Zhao find out about this, who can afford to embarrass this person? It would be strange not to settle the score with you.
"Old guy, you can't even say a good word. There's something wrong with your brain. You're looking for death. That's why you were stripped naked and paraded through the streets."
"You stinky boy, if you didn't have something wrong with your head and wanted to die, why did you sneak the little emperor out of the palace dressed like this? Do you know that if someone discovers this, they will say that you kidnapped Nan Holy Master Zhao, stripping off your clothes and parading around the streets will be an advantage for you, but you may not even be able to save your head by then. If you want to commit suicide, commit suicide yourself, don’t take me with you, old man, I haven’t lived enough yet!”
Shao Xi looked at Old Wu's fear of death and was very happy with him.
"Are you confused? If he doesn't want to leave the palace, who has the ability to bring him out? If he hadn't dressed up like this, could it be that I held him down and dressed him up as a woman? ? He is willing to come out with me like this, of course it is his own wish. If it is not to do serious things, do you think I like to go to such trouble? "
"Serious things? You have become so immoral now, how can you do anything serious?"
Shao Xi saw Lao Wu asking about it, so he briefly told him what happened in the palace today, as well as his discussion with Zhao Hongjin about going to the General's Mansion to discuss with Fu Zuoliang how to deal with Han Zeng.
After listening to Shao Xi's story, Old Wu almost stopped laughing.
Unexpectedly, the little girl he met on the street yesterday turned out to be Princess Haizhu. When Shao Xi entered the palace today, he was chased around by the princess carrying a sword. What's even more unexpected is that in order to get the little emperor out of the palace, these children could come up with such a bad idea.
There really is no weirdest thing, only weirder things, and today these weird things are all gathered together.
"It's a shame you guys can think of it. The majestic Holy Lord of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, you have done this to others. What will the general think when you arrive at the General's Mansion? There is a gap between their monarchs and ministers. Now you have done this to their emperor. It’s like a joke, haven’t you ever thought about whether it would affect his image in Fu Zuo’s conscience?”
It has to be said that older people are more thoughtful about issues. After Lao Wu reminded them, Shao Xi and Zhao Hongjin immediately realized the seriousness of this problem.
It is indeed true. If a dignified Holy Lord of Nan Zhao appeared in front of the general dressed like a daughter, wouldn't it become a big joke? In the future, will Zhao Hongjin have the majesty of an emperor in front of Fu Zuoliang?
Shao Xi secretly blamed himself for being too young and not thinking carefully enough. I originally thought that my plan was flawless, but I didn't expect that there was a flaw in this detail. If Old Wu hadn't reminded me, today's trip to the General's Mansion might have had the opposite effect.
"The old guy is right to remind you. It was indeed my fault. But what should I do now? I have already changed my clothes, put on makeup, and styled my hair. If I change back to men's clothes now, what will happen when I return to the palace? What to do? We can no longer let others know about this matter. Princess Haizhu is taking over his identity. When he returns to the palace, he can't go back as the Holy Lord! Wouldn't that reveal everything?"
Old Wu glanced at Shao Xi with contempt, and said in his usual lazy tone: "Thanks to you, you usually pride yourself on being extremely smart, but such a simple thing can actually make you so worried. Let me ask you , Until now, have you seen the appearance of the man in black robe? Since he is leaving the palace secretly this time, why not just find a black robe to cover him? How can it be so complicated? I really admire you!"
Shao Xi was stunned by what Lao Wu said.
yes! Find a black robe to cover Zhao Hongjin's body, and enter the general's mansion as a mysterious person. This not only fits Zhao Hongjin's identity, but also maintains the mystery of the trip.
It's such a simple thing, why are you so anxious?
"Uh! You're right!"
