Chapter 159 Chapter 159

Zhao Guan went up to knock on the door of the big house, not long after, a little old man came and opened the door, looked him up and down, and said something very politely.The princess stepped forward to chat, the man nodded repeatedly, pointed at Zhao Guan and asked a few words.The princess nodded, and the man bowed to Zhao Guan and said a few words. Zhao Guan asked: What did he say? The princess said: "He said that the master is not here, so it is not easy for him to make decisions and let outsiders come to borrow it."But his master has always respected Han people. He has many Han friends. Hearing that you are Han, he must be happy to let us stay for one night.

Zhao Guan cupped his hands in thanks, the man kept waving his hands, pointing to the sky, indicating that it might snow tonight, so don't be too polite, so he opened the door to let the two of them into the house. However, the interior of the room is extremely ornately furnished, the floor is paved with dark cypress wood strips, and on the left is a short black lacquered table with gilded gilt. On the left is an unsheathed samurai sword. A cloisonné vase with a height of half a person is placed in the courtyard of the courtyard, and three proud old plum blossoms are inserted in the vase; on the shrine on the right is an agarwood woodcarved Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Zhao Guan has never seen the decorations of Dongying before, he wandered around and found everything fresh and amazed.

The princess was born in the royal family of Korea, and since she was a child, she was accustomed to looking at golden halls, jade horses, and rare treasures. When she saw the decorations in the house, she couldn't help being surprised, and said in a low voice: "Every decoration here is the best, Unless it is a rich family, it cannot be owned.Who is the owner here? The old man led the two of them through the corridor, passed through three patios, came to a room, slid open the paper sliding door, and invited the two to go in and sit down.But I saw that the room was even more beautifully furnished, the bamboo floor was trimmed with golden and red embroidered borders, and a huge painted fan was hung on the white wall in front, depicting the scene of the bustling traffic in a big city, the painting was exquisite, Lifelike; there are large calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, with thick and thick strokes, one is cursive script, and the other is Bodhidharma facing the wall.On the black wooden coffee table in the house, there is a set of celadon tea set and a celadon incense burner, small and exquisite.The old man said a few words and then left.

The princess said: He said that the mistress is coming to see us, please wait a moment. Not long after, the paper door slid open, and a middle-aged woman with a face full of white powder knelt outside the door, bowing down to the princess, who knelt in return. Zhao Guan saw that the woman was wearing a black silk gown, with a large red cloth knot like a pillow on her back, her face was terribly white, as if she was wearing a mask, but her eyebrows were drawn in dark black, making them look like moths. , only the upper lip of the mouth is painted bright red, and the lower lip is only a little bit red, which looks really weird.But when the woman turned her head and bowed her head respectfully to him, she hurriedly knelt down to return the salute.

The middle-aged woman got up and went into the room, sat down at the table, exchanged a few words with the princess in an extremely respectful and polite tone, and then withdrew. Zhao Guan asked: What did she say? The princess said: She said that we can rest assured to sleep in this room overnight.When the master comes back tomorrow night, he will entertain in person.Just as he was talking, two maids came in, took out sleeping mats and quilts from the closet, spread them on the floor, and put two pillows on them.After the bed was made, one of the maids extinguished the oil lamp in the room, leaving only a small lamp on the table; the other changed a plate of incense and added hot tea. Get out and close the paper door.

Zhao Guan groped in the middle of the room, looked west, opened the calligraphy and painting to see what was behind it, opened the incense burner and fiddled with it, turned around and saw that the bed in the middle of the room was neatly made, and the quilt was covered with gorgeous and dazzling gold and silver thread embroidery. Baihetu couldn't help smiling and said: Dongying people are really weird, they don't even have a bed, they just sleep on the ground. Seeing his strange expression, the princess had already guessed what he was thinking.He coughed and said: This is the custom in Japan. To avoid suspicion, I told them that we are husband and wife, so they only prepared one bed.Altar Master Jiang, you have worked hard today, please go to bed first.

Zhao Guan had long thought that if he slept in the same room with the princess, he would have a chance to treat her contemptuously, but he always had some respect for this noble and dignified princess, so he forced himself to put away his delusions, and said seriously: I am not tired.Your Highness has a delicate body, and today he suffered from the wind and cold at sea, so he should have a good night's rest.I will sit here and watch the night for His Highness. The princess had already felt extremely exhausted physically and mentally. After hearing what he said, she no longer refused and took off her fox fur coat.It was very cold at that time, and she felt a chill on her body, so she hurriedly got into bed.Zhao Guan covered her with a quilt, smiled and said: Your Highness, please sleep peacefully.

The princess looked at him and asked in a low voice: Are you cold?Zhao Guanxin said: "I'm getting cold, will you let me get under the blanket and keep warm with you?"He said in his mouth: I'm not cold, don't worry about me, go to bed early. The princess closed her eyes and said suddenly: "This fragrance is really good." Zhao Guan's heart moved, he stood up and walked around the room, his eyes stopped on the incense burner, he took a breath, and said in a low voice: What a clever method!He snatched up to the princess, leaned over and picked her up, and said: Your Highness, we have fallen into a den of thieves!The princess was half asleep and half awake, when she heard the words she was shocked and said: What?

Zhao Guan had no time to say more, took out a pill from his bosom, and stuffed it into the princess's mouth.He listened quietly for a while, his face changed slightly, and suddenly he pulled the pillow and stuffed it into the quilt, and jumped onto the roof beam with the princess in his arms. The princess was about to ask, but she heard footsteps in disorder, and then she yelled, and the paper doors on three sides of the room opened at the same time, and a row of more than twenty archers surrounded the door. There is a green light under the lantern. But seeing the little old man who opened the door and the mistress slowly walk into the room, the little old man laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness, do you think I don't recognize you?"This Fukue Island is the base camp of my Japanese pirates. How can I not treat you well if you cast yourself into a trap?Your Highness, embrace and die with your little white-faced lover!With a wave of the hand, there was a whistling sound, and the archers released their arrows together, and the quilt in the house was pierced like a hedgehog.

Seeing that she almost became a ghost under the arrow and was shot to death, the princess couldn't help turning pale, and tightly grasped Zhao Guan's arm. Zhao Guanfan held the princess's hand, motioned her to be quiet, gently untied the centipede rope around his waist, looked down to see the little old man striding forward, reaching out to lift the quilt.Zhao watched at the right time, and the moment he lifted the quilt, the long rope stretched down like a spirit snake and wrapped around the little old man's neck. The little old man was engrossed under the quilt, as if there was an enemy on his head, he let out a startled roar, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the long rope around his neck.But Zhao Guan's centipede cable was so poisonous, the little old man felt severe pain on his neck, he let out a scream, his face turned black, he was already dead.With a flick of his wrist, Zhao Guan swung his rope and threw the little old man's body sideways, smashing towards a bunch of archers.The little old man's body was already highly poisoned, and all the archers who were hit by the corpse were infected with the poison, and fell to the ground and passed out.The rest of the archers saw that the enemy's attack was so fierce, they were all frightened, and they threw down their bows and arrows to avoid them.

Zhao Guan swung the scroll, but it was only an instant thing, he knew that he had the upper hand, he must not let it go, he retracted the centipede rope with a shake of his hand, jumped down to the ground, swung his sword, and slashed at the mistress.He was fully expecting to kill or restrain the woman with this saber, but unexpectedly the saber was in vain, but he saw that the mistress jumped into the big tree in the courtyard, and with the wind of her sleeves, she shot at him. The three cross darts came in such a hurry, Zhao Guan quickly jumped up to dodge, the three cross darts hit the bamboo floor with three clicks. Zhao Guan's heart trembled: Good guy!This woman is an invisible person.He jumped into the courtyard and shouted: "Let me learn the tricks of the invisible people in Japan!"He shot eight silver darts from his left hand and hit the treetops.There was a sound in the treetops, and a black ball flew out, and exploded in mid-air, emitting a cloud of gray smoke. Zhao Guan said with a smile: How brave, dare to poison the king of all poisons?With a wave of sleeves, the cloud of gray mist has been dispersed.The man on the tree gasped, as if extremely surprised, and then another black ball flew out quickly.Zhao Guan didn't wait for it to explode, he swung a ball of raw silk from his sleeve, wrapped the ball around it, spun in the air and flew back to the treetops.But when there was a loud bang, the black pill had already exploded in the treetops, the flames were radiating, and the tongues of flames were spitting out.
