Chapter 9 Chapter 83 The most difficult part is self-knowledge

On the third day after Xia Xun returned home, Xiao Ying bid him farewell. Xia Xun and Xiaoying got on the horse after they left Fuguo Gongfu, Xin Lei, Fei Hewei and several guards trailed far behind. In the distance, in a small two-story building in Yang's Mansion, Xie Xie and Zi Qi stood by the window, just in time to see the scene of two horses walking side by side on the long street. A black horse with four hooves treading snow. A bay red horse is as bright as a cloud of fire. Under the forest of horses, there are many fallen leaves. Thank you and said leisurely: Our master has captured the heart of a young girl again. I saw that Miss Sakura was very reluctant to part when she left.Hehe, if the master asks to stay, I don't think she will be polite and readily agree.It's a pity, the master disappointed me so much.

Ziqi said, "Yes!I didn't believe what you said at first, but later, even I got a taste for it. Our master has always been shrewd, can he really not see it?How dare you pretend to be stupid. Xie Xie sighed and said: Probably because he is old. Ziqi was not happy anymore, and said angrily: "It's all nonsense, he is only in his thirties, and he is in his prime, so why is he old?"If you are really old, you still often complain that you can't bear him? Thank you, she rolled her eyes and said: What are you talking about, I mean his heart is old, not his body. Ziqi rolled her eyes and wondered: Are you getting old?Why don't I think, I think he's getting younger and younger as he lives, he plays mud with the two little guys Huaiyuan and Huaizhi, and they can play happily.

Thank you, angry and funny, shook his head and said: You, you have always had a carefree temper.well!I always feel that the master's heart is a bit vicissitudes, but at his age, he is far from the age where he can have grandchildren. Look at that old guy Huang Zhen, he is still alive at such an old age , I heard Fei Hewei said with a big mouth that yesterday the emperor promoted Huang Zhen to be the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his colleagues held a banquet for him in Miaoxiang Tower to celebrate. Sleeping, if the heart is not old, the person is not old.On the other hand, our master, alas!It is probably because I have been busy with state affairs these years, and my mood is too vicissitudes.

Zi Qi was unconvinced and said: Huang Zhen is not old like that?I think it should be called Laobuxiu.Does our master have to look for flowers and ask willows to keep people's hearts from growing old?You have so many eyes, so you went to settle their favor for the master, hehe!Sakura will be forever grateful to you as a great matchmaker. Xie Xie spat at her and said, "What's the point, sister, I'm a pimp now?"If I want to please him, I don't need such means! Zi Qi said with a half-smile: that is, that is!I have a knife, and my sister also has a knife. My knife was once stained with human blood and hurt people's lives. Life is thousands of times more than mine!

Thank you for being surprised, wondering: What is this?If you want to flatter me, you don't need to say such insincere words, do you?Sister, when I ventured into the rivers and lakes, I relied on my clever mind. How could I ever use a knife? Zi Qi chuckled and said: There is an old saying, one drop of essence equals ten drops of blood.Do the math yourself, after more than ten years of being a husband and wife, how much blood is on your knife? With a thank you, her pretty face flushed, and she said angrily and shyly: He, that bastard, did he listen to you? Ziqi smiled and said: He always wants me to learn from you, why can't he help you show off your heroic deeds?Oh, by the way, he told me, man, just one drop contains tens of millions of them, each of which can turn into a life. How many people have you killed?Tsk tsk tsk, so powerful, so powerful, she looks like a delicate girl, she is obviously a devil!

I will fight for you! Xie Xie was so ashamed, she flung her teeth and claws at Zi Qi, Zi Qi laughed, although she was nine months pregnant and her body was bulky, she was still much faster than Xie Xie, as soon as she turned back, she dodged to the side of the stairs and quickly went downstairs. On the contrary, I was so worried about thanking you that I kept yelling from behind: "Slow down, slow down, I just don't chase you, you are pregnant, you're going to die, you run so fast!" In late autumn, the coolness is deep. A gust of wind blew down a few sycamore trees, and Xia Xun reached out to catch a fallen leaf.

Sakura, who had been peeking at him all the time, saw him staring at the fallen leaves in a daze, couldn't help coughing, and asked: What are you thinking? oh?oh! Xia Xun recovered and said, "I'm looking at this leaf."In the south of the Yangtze River, in autumn and winter, there are not many trees with deciduous leaves, and most of the trees are evergreen all the year round.As for the north, at this time, there should be boundless fallen trees, and the leaves in the north must face the autumn wind fatefully. Every fallen leaf is a generous and tragic song of Yanzhao!Look here, there are occasional fallen leaves, but the flowers are still blooming

Sakura wandered around and saw pink and purple flowers of various colors blooming in the bushes on both sides. She couldn't help saying: Even though flowers bloom in four seasons here, it is not the same flower that blooms. The petals will always wither. Life is shorter. She glanced at Xia Xun, and said softly with a pun: Otherwise, how can you Han people say that the flowers bloom and the branches are broken. She blushed when she said this. Xia Xun was silent for a moment, reined in the steed and said: "When we reach the gate of the city, I will see you off not far away. I will ask Fei Hewei to escort the girl back to Moling Town."This time, the envoy of the Timur Kingdom visited Ming, thanks to the girl's generous help, if he passes through Moling Town in the future, Yang will definitely visit the door in person and thank the girl again.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ying felt angry in her heart, her face became stiff, and she said: No need!On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, when you occasionally think of me, and you want to visit me again, I am afraid that this girl is already married, but it is inconvenient to see you again! ah? Xia Xun was slightly startled, and said in surprise: You already have someone you like? Xiao Ying said angrily: "I'm going to get married!" She looked at Xia Xun with her fiery beautiful eyes, and said, "Why don't I trouble the Duke to find one for me?"

Xia Xun said with a dry smile: Uh, I don't know what kind of person you want to find? Xiao Ying was even more angry, so she said bitterly: I want to find him, sometimes he is as treacherous as a fox, and sometimes he is as stupid as a pig!Sometimes he is as brave as a tiger, and sometimes as timid as a mouse!Especially good at pretending to be crazy, what do you think of such a man? Xia Xun said with a guilty conscience: Miss, this is a little embarrassing. How can there be such a man in the world? Xiao Ying was very angry, and said loudly: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, so what's so rare about such a strange thing coming out once in a while?"I'm afraid the Duke has never seen such a bastard, has he?snort!

Xiao Ying slammed her legs against the horse's belly and galloped away. Xia Xun waved his hand lightly, and Fei Hewei chased after him with a few guards. Xia Xun looked at Xiao Ying's back going away, for a long while, smiled lightly, then shook her head and sighed again, her voice was inaudible. Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu left the capital in despair.He knew very well that this time he really lost his father's favor completely, and it would be impossible to resist leaving Beijing.Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Palace of the King of Han, and under the supervision of the officers and soldiers of the East Factory and the Beijing Camp, he hurriedly sorted out all the utensils in the palace. Two days later, he left Beijing in a hurry and went to Le'an Prefecture, Shandong Province to become a feudal vassal. Ji Gang was ordered by the Holy Order to supervise his departure from the capital, wait for Zhu Gaoxu's driving team to leave Jinling, and then send a team of Jinyi guards to disguise themselves to monitor him all the way, and wait for everything to be arranged before returning to the capital. Chen Ying has already been imprisoned, because the imperial court did not announce to the public the crimes of the King of Han forming a party, keeping assassins, murdering the Duke, and usurping the crown prince. This time, he was imprisoned in the Xihuamen, and then expelled from Beijing. , killing the military general of the court, Chen Ying's crime is closely related to the King of Han, so it cannot be made public. Ji Gang understood what he wanted, and ordered Ji Younan to torture Chen Ying.Jin Yiwei's punishment, if it wants to put people to death, no matter how strong a man can hold it, how can a flesh and blood resist the torture tool?What's more, Chen Ying is a literati, under the three trees, Chen Ying will be tortured to death in a short time, and then report to the emperor: Chen Ying has a sudden illness, and she will die suddenly in prison. Over the years, Ji Gang had only two biggest enemies in the court, one was Xia Xun and the other was Chen Ying. Chen Ying, who seemed invincible at first, had fallen into his hands and was destined to die in his hands. Ji Gang couldn't help but increase his confidence. He believed in the horse, and unexpectedly thought of Xia Xun: When will Xia Xun be sent to prison? Ji Gang rode on the horse, thinking all the way, thinking about it, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Yang Xu, if one day, I also overthrow you, I will torture you with my own hands and send you to heaven, so as to save you and my old friend Friendship!snort With a smile, Ji Gang raised his head slightly, and saw a few horses galloping slowly towards him. He had just reined in his horse and stopped when he saw that he was leading a group of people. There was one person guarding him among the guards. It was Xia Xun who was always in casual clothes. .Ji Gang was startled for a moment, then he put on a palpitating smile, tapped the horse's belly lightly, went forward, cupped his fists and said, "Duke, where are you from?" Xia Xun said: "Send a friend out of town, where did Mr. Ji come from?" Ji Gang replied: "Coincidentally, the lower officials are also sending people out of the city, sending the King of Han away from Beijing!" Xia Xun let out a groan, and said calmly: Oh, is the King of Han a vassal today? Ji Gangdao: That's right, I just left Beijing, and I was ordered by the officials to send the King of Han all the way out of the city.Duke, please! Ji Gang swung his horse's head and walked in the same direction as Xia Xun, half a horse behind him, glanced at Xia Xun's back, and said with deep meaning: "I sent the King of Han out of the city today. I have a lot of emotions. Just three days ago, the King of Han He is so majestic that even the crown prince is afraid of him.Who would have imagined that in just three days, he would sadly leave Beijing and head north in a hurry.What happened to the King of Han is enough to give up today's glorious and domineering people. Xia Xun couldn't help teasing and said: Unexpectedly, Mr. Ji would also have thoughts of rebirth.If you don't know goods, you will suffer half your life; if you don't know people, you will suffer forever!People don't know themselves, and suffering adds to suffering.There is nothing wrong with being infinitely beautiful. What is wrong is that once a person succeeds, he forgets himself, loses sight of his own position, and does things that should not be done by himself. Then catastrophe is not far away. Ji Gang glanced at him, and asked: The Duke thinks he knows himself very well? Xia Xun didn't answer, reined in his horse, turned his head and said, "Does Master Ji still recognize himself ten years ago?" The four eyes met, as if a cluster of sparks exploded in the eyes of the two. Just at this moment, the horse's hooves struck, and a voice said: "What a coincidence!"What a coincidence!He was about to go to find the Duke of the State and Commander Ji, but unexpectedly they ran into each other here!
