The next day, the same man who came yesterday to call Wei Xiaobao to gamble again came to call Wei Xiaobao to gamble. Xiang Yan and Wei Xiaobao went out together. The man was stunned and said: "Brother, did you also go gambling with Xiao Guizi?" Xiang Yan said with a smile: "I don't know how to gamble, so I just went to have a look. Mr. Hai asked Xiao Guizi to ask me to give Xiao Guizi something. Guizi helps." When he heard that Xiang Yan didn't gamble, the man stopped talking to Xiang Yan.
After gambling, on the way to find a fight with Kangxi, Wei Xiaobao took the initiative and said: "Xiao Xiangzi..." Xiang Yan interrupted Wei Xiaobao and said: "Don't call me Xiao Xiangzi, call me Xiao Yan. "Wei Xiaobao said: "Xiaoyan, my name is Xiaobao. When Brother Mao left the day before yesterday, I planned to ask you to go with him, but you were so frightened at the time, and Brother Mao couldn't move his legs after his acupuncture points were tapped by Hai Laogong. If I touch you, I will have to go alone." Xiang Zi sighed.
Wei Xiaobao asked: "What are your plans?" Xiang Yan said: "Of course I will find an opportunity to kill the old eunuch and then escape from the palace." Wei Xiaobao asked: "But what about the poison you were poisoned?" Xiang Yan said He said angrily: "He had no intention of letting me live in the first place. If I didn't kill him, he wouldn't detoxify me." He added: "If he hadn't asked me to help you fight, I would have died today. "Wei Xiaobao remained silent.
Xiang Yan asked Wei Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, wasn't Xiao Guizi killed by you? How did you become Xiao Guizi?" Wei Xiaobao said: "After I killed Xiao Guizi the day before yesterday, Mr. Hai suddenly shouted Xiao Guizi's name. At that time, I thought that if Mr. Hai found out that Xiao Guizi was dead, he would definitely announce it. If he brought one of his guards to round us up, we would be in trouble. So I pretended to be Xiao Guizi to delay time and let Brother Mao go first. Then I was looking for a chance to escape, but I haven’t found one until now.”
Xiang Yan nodded and asked: "Xiaobao, do you think the old eunuch has discovered that you are the fake Xiao Guizi?" Wei Xiaobao said hesitantly: "Probably not! Otherwise, why didn't he say anything?" Xiang Yan said with a smile. : "You and Xiao Guizi have completely different accents. Do you think the old eunuch really can't tell? No matter what the old eunuch asks you to do, you don't know anything about it. Do you really think the old eunuch can't find out that you are a fake Xiao Guizi?"
Wei Xiaobao asked hesitantly: "Then why didn't he say anything?" After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "The Forty-Two Chapter Sutra, the old eunuch must have kept me from exposing me because of the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra." Xiang Yan asked: "The Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters? The old eunuch also asked me to steal the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters. It seems that this Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters is very important to the old eunuch. It's just that the old eunuch I asked you to steal scriptures, but why did I ask you to gamble?"
"The old eunuch also asked Wei Xiaobao to look for the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra. It seems that the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra is the book that contains the treasure map." Thinking of the treasure, Xiang Yan was moved: "It's just that this treasure map contains There seem to be several scriptures containing the treasure map. Where are these scriptures? Oh, I forgot." Xiang Yan knocked his head in frustration.
Wei Xiaobao said: "The Forty-Two Chapters Sutra is in the upper study. Do you know the upper study? That is the emperor's study, and it is not accessible to ordinary people. The Wen brothers were working in the upper study, and the old eunuch asked me to borrow money on purpose. Give it to them, and when they can't pay back the money, I'll blackmail them and ask them to take me to the study to steal books."
After waiting for a while, Wei Xiaobao said again: "Xiao Guizi has been gambling for several months, but the money he lent to the Wen brothers is still not much. If the old eunuch reveals that I am a fake Xiao Guizi, then the real Xiao Guizi will borrow It was a small matter that the money given to the Wen brothers was wasted, but the old eunuch had to spend several months lending money to the Wen brothers. It was a big deal to waste time. It happened that I was pretending to be Xiao Guizi, so the old eunuch took whatever I had. They asked me to steal the book instead of Xiao Guizi."
Xiang Yan said: "There is another question. Since the old eunuch knows that you are the fake Xiao Guizi, he must also know that you poisoned his eyes. He only let you go temporarily because he wanted your help in stealing books. But you Stealing a book cannot be done in a day or two, and the old eunuch's health is really bad, and he may die one day. What should he do if he dies early before you steal the book? He Why don't you let you live in the palace as Xiao Guizi in revenge for poisoning his eyes?"
Wei Xiaobao was very angry and gritted his teeth and said: "The soup is poisonous. If the old eunuch dies before I steal the book, the poisonous soup will naturally help him avenge me and kill me. I will ask why the old eunuch cares so much about me." Don’t drink soup, that’s why.”
Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan each had their own concerns and walked in silence all the way. Xiang Yan couldn't stand the silence and asked Wei Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, who asked you to fight?" Wei Xiaobao was in a bad mood and reluctantly replied: "It's Xiao Xuanzi. You'll see him later."
The two came to the hut where they competed with Kangxi. After pushing the door open and going in, they saw many plates of snacks on the table. At noon, Xiang Yan was hungry and unhappy. When he saw Wei Xiaobao, he grabbed the snack and put it in his mouth. He also picked up a piece of snack and bit it viciously like an old eunuch. After taking a few bites, he glanced at Wei Xiaobao and felt relieved.
Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan ate a few snacks when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Wei Xiaobao hurriedly pulled Xiang Yan and hid under the table. But he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Xiao Guizi, Xiao Guizi." Wei Xiaobao immediately jumped up, ran to the door, and said with a smile: "It's a date, see you there or not." The person outside the door also laughed and said: "Haha, it's a date. , see you there or not."
