Peng Jinrong didn't spend too much time in the harem, and was respectfully escorted out by the little yellow door before the little eunuch. Two other little eunuchs followed behind each holding a lacquered tray, with two small dishes on the tray. A piece of embroidered silk and two ingots of gold. When she walked out of the Qianqing Gate, Peng Jinrong was not in a hurry to talk to Liu Ziguang. She just smiled and motioned for him to follow her.
After passing through the empty palace square, the small yellow gate took them all the way to the Meridian Gate. After conveying the Queen Mother's order, the inner guards of the Meridian Gate took them to Chengtian Gate. Then they turned around and left. Liu Ziguang and Peng Jingrong walked through the Meridian Gate again. The four internal eunuchs of the gate were sent outside the Chengtian Gate, and then they left the imperial city. The whole process lasted an hour, and they left the Chengtian Gate. The two of them were dumbfounded holding Su embroidery and gold. The sky was completely dark. Outside the palace gate There were very few cars and horses passing by, so it looked like I had to walk back on my own.
Peng Jinrong walked for a long time, her feet were numb, and she could no longer walk. She rubbed her sore calves and looked around for a place to sit and rest. Liu Ziguang bent down and said, "Come, I will carry you." "
"What makes this happen? Men and women are not allowed to be intimate with each other." Peng Jinrong refused, but she felt really happy in her heart. Seeing that there was no one on the empty street, she half pushed her and lay on Liu Ziguang's broad back.
The evening breeze of the summer night blew in the face, the stars in the sky blinked, and the girl's warm breath came to his ears. Liu Ziguang just carried Peng Jinrong on his back and walked on the quiet road. The girl's light body could hardly feel any weight. So he walked very briskly. The beautiful scenery at such a beautiful time made Liu Ziguang have the illusion that he was walking on an evening after school in his senior year of high school, and on his back was the female classmate he had a crush on for a long time. The dimly lit place in the distance was his. Home, that small courtyard in a shanty town awaiting demolition, he lifted Peng Jinrong up, cleared his throat and sang in a low voice:
Can you let me go with you?
Since you said I can't keep you
The way back is a little dark
Worry about letting you go alone
I think it's because I'm not gentle enough
I can't share your sorrow
If you can't say it like this
Just keep the regret in your heart
keep my sadness to myself
Let your beauty take you away
From now on I never
Reasons to be happy
I think I can hold back my sadness
Can you also think of me?
Can I hold your hand?
Never asked for this
I'm afraid you'll be sad and turn around and leave
So be it, I'll understand
I think I can hold back my sadness
Pretend there is no you in my life
I'm here from now on
Waiting for your news day and night
Can you let me go with you?
Since you said I can't keep you
No matter where you are in the world
From time to time you will think of me
Can you also think of me?
is it possible
A piece of Chen Sheng's "Keep the Sadness to Yourself" is paired with Liu Ziguang's slightly hoarse voice. The sadness is a little romantic and a little infatuated. The melodious melody and almost straightforward lyrics are unique in this world. Peng Jinrong has already heard it. She was stunned, thinking that the content of the lyrics reminded her of the ups and downs in this period of time. After being silent for a while, she gently leaned into Liu Ziguang's ear and said: "I will accompany you in this life."
The girl blew like a blue breath, which made Liu Ziguang's ears itch. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to look around. His side of his face happened to rub against Peng Jinrong's red lips. Peng Jinrong was immediately so embarrassed that two red clouds flew up on her pink face, under the moonlight. She looked charming, like a fairy from the Moon Palace. Liu Ziguang was fascinated by the sight, and couldn't help but put her down from his back and hug her. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two people finally came close to each other.
"Master Liu~~" A shout broke the good news between the two of them. When they turned around, they saw that it was a tricycle from Ziguang Bicycle Co., Ltd. riding over from a distance. The driver was none other than Xu San, who had been knocked unconscious and robbed the bicycle.
Skin.
Peng Jingrong was embarrassed to break away from Liu Ziguang, straightened her clothes and stood quietly by the side, pretending that nothing happened. Fortunately, a cloud blocked the moonlight and her red face could not be seen. Liu Ziguang secretly scolded this boy for having no eyes.
, but now that it was like this, even if he drove people away, he couldn't find the feeling just now, so he coughed dryly and asked: "Are you here to pick us up?"
Xu Sanpi nodded and bowed: "Yes, sir, just now we sent the tiger men from the Tiger Zi Gang to the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department. It happened that Boss Sun was still being questioned by the official. He said that you have gone to the palace, I'm afraid.
There were no carriages or horses when you came back, so I sent a young man to pick you up."
"Oh, in that case, let's get in the car and go to the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division to get the brothers out." When Liu Ziguang heard that the brothers from the car dealership were still detained in the Military and Horse Division, Liu Ziguang hurriedly pulled Peng Jinrong into the car and let Xu
Sanpila went to the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
Peng Jingrong was obviously still shy, her little face turned to one side without saying a word. In order to break the embarrassment, Liu Ziguang asked: "By the way, what did the Queen Mother say to you just now?"
"I didn't say much. Miss Hu has already told the Queen Mother what happened. She just asked a few questions casually. She asked me that I was the daughter of the Peng family of the Liguo Iron Works. Then she asked if you defeated Dole in Shandong.
That Liu Ziguang of Gun."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"What else can I say, just say yes. After asking these two questions, I was rewarded with two pieces of Suzhou embroidery and twenty taels of gold and sent me out." Peng Jingrong said.
There were very few people on Chang'an Street at night. Xu Sanpi pedaled his tricycle very fast, and soon he arrived at the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Department. The place was still heavily guarded, and all members of the Dongcheng Tiger Gang were captured. As for the Ziguang Bicycle Shop,
The carriage drivers had all been released in accordance with the latest order from the palace. They were coming out of the Yamen at this moment, and met Liu Ziguang and the others head-on, so they all went back together.
In Kunning Palace, Queen Mother Li was sitting on the phoenix chair. Even though she was in her forties, she still maintained her snow-white and smooth skin. Except for the extremely small crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she looked like a young woman under thirty years old.
The summer was hot, and several huge ice cubes were placed in the palace to cool off the heat. Two palace maids stood behind the Queen Mother, gently fanning her with fans made of peacock feathers. The two ministers sitting opposite did not have this treatment.
, Sweat soaked through the tight official uniform.
"Bring some sour plum soup to your two uncles," the Queen Mother ordered.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward." Li Qing, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and Li Ying, the Marquis of Changxin, expressed their gratitude to En while holding the palace's secret sour plum soup filled with ice cubes.
"How is the investigation going? Did it happen over there?" the Queen Mother asked calmly.
"Ma Liu, who arranged the Tiger Zi Gang's attack, was assassinated. The murderer was extremely sophisticated, and there were no marks on the crossbow arrows he used. Apart from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, there is really no third party in the capital who dares to kill someone in front of an insider.
Family, and Huang Zhen of Jinyiwei and that Ma Liu had an argument with his niece before the accident, so he must have instigated the attack and then killed and silenced her after the incident." Li Qingdao.
"Huang Zhen is Lao Nu's godson, right? Could it be that someone plotted against her because she had a quarrel with Xiangjun?" Li Ying asked doubtfully.
"There is something fishy here. I'm afraid it's not that simple. It stands to reason that when Jin Yiwei has an quarrel with others, he usually arrests them directly. Why would he go to so many troubles to plot and blame others on the road? There is only one possibility for Huang Zhen to do this. Then
It was because he recognized that his niece was Qianjin from his eldest brother's house, a relative of the emperor, and a wealthy person." After all, Li Qing is the head of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and his analysis is very clear.
"What? Knowing that she is the young lady from the Marquis Changxin's residence, the niece of the current Queen Mother, and the future Queen, he still dares to do this. Is he really brave enough?" Li Ying was immediately furious.
"It is precisely because she is a young lady from the Marquis Changxin's house and one of the candidates for the future queen that that guy came up with this idea. Have you forgotten that among the other candidates for the queen, there is this person from the Huang family in Haizhou?
Daughter?" the Queen Mother said coldly.
"It must have been the instigation of the old slave. Sister, you should send an internal agent to arrest the boy named Huang. We will wait and see if he can be recruited." Li Ying said.
"This matter may not have been personally instigated by the old slave. The old slave is still very measured in doing things and will not act recklessly. I think it was the people of the Jinyiwei who did it themselves. As for the faction to arrest the Jinyiwei, it is tantamount to an open fight. This matter
Absolutely not." The Queen Mother was calmer.
"Yes, our five-city military and horse division, internal operations, and government military guards are all in the open, while Lao Nu's Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are all in the dark. Legally speaking, we can't control them. If we fight secretly, we
He is no match for these spies." Li Qing shook his head and sighed.
"Humph, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have placed spies everywhere to monitor the officials. What they can do, but the Aijia can't do it? Let Li Lianying raise some people in the world, and we can also set up a factory guard. Well, it needs to be more secret, we can't
Set it up in the palace, and find a place to do it in the most prosperous Nancheng, let's call it Nanchang. Also, the boy who rescued Xiang Jun today is named Liu Ziguang. The Ai family has seen it many times in the military newspapers from Shandong.
With this name, it seems that you have courage that is unworthy of all men. Such talents must not be collected by the old slave."
"It is found that this person is the son-in-law of Liguo Iron Works and a close confidant of Yuan Chonghuan. It seems that the relationship between Liguo Iron Works and Yuan Chonghuan and us is not very good. Sister, we should be more careful." Li Ying advised.
"If we are not on good terms with us, how can we have a better relationship with the old slave? We must fight for what we can fight for. There are no eternal enemies in this world. Enemies and friends are always changing each other. When the palace changed ten years ago
, Isn’t the old slave still our ally, but now, huh." The two uncles nodded in agreement after what the Queen Mother said.
"This kid, Xiangjun, must be living in the palace recently. The old slave will not be idle during this period of time. You should also be more careful. Tomorrow, the second brother and Li Lianying will discuss the preparations for the construction of the South Factory. If there is anything you can do easily,
Don't come everywhere to ask for instructions from the Ai family. Okay, the Ai family is a little tired. You can go back." The queen mother waved her hand gently, and the palace maid lowered the gauze curtain in front of her. Li Ying and Li Qing respectfully
He walked backwards out of the palace with respect.
Located in the middle of the capital, to the south of the Imperial College, there is a huge mansion. Nine thousand-year-old Huang Jinrong lives in it. At this moment, his god-grandson, Huang Zhen, a member of the Imperial Guard, is kneeling in the courtyard with fear, waiting to be scolded by his ancestor.
When Huang Zhen heard that the palace sent a large team to search for Ma Liu, he knew that something was going to happen. Fortunately, someone took action and killed Ma Liu at the critical moment, which made him feel relieved. Then he was reported to the Dongchang people.
He arrived at Jiu Qian Sui's mansion. Jiu Qian Sui did not directly reprimand him, but just asked him to kneel in the yard and reflect on his own.
He knelt down like this until midnight, and then the third stall driver from Dongchang came out to speak for Jiu Qiansui: "Ancestor asked you if you knew you were wrong?"
"My grandson knows his mistake." Huang Zhen knelt for several hours and his legs had lost all feeling. He was a dandy and didn't know where he was wrong. But since his ancestor was angry and ordered him to kneel as punishment, he should admit it first.
Wrong.
"What's wrong?" asked the third stall driver.
"The mistake is... I think this matter was planned very carefully. Someone was found to have the girl surnamed Li turned around, stripped off her clothes and threw her on the street. Once word of this spread in the capital, what else does the Li family have?
Face? How can that little girl be the queen? In this way, doesn’t the queen’s position belong to my sister? Moreover, the people I’m looking for are all irrelevant people in the world, and no matter how much I check, I can’t find the one above us.” Huang Zhen is here.
Jin Yiwei had been messing around for a while and thought he had learned some strategies. Today's matter was carried out flawlessly and he was quite proud of himself.
"Hmph, so you not only have five faults but also have merit?" the third gear head mocked.
"It is my duty to share the worries of my ancestors." Huang Zhen lowered his head and said, even though he was a nine thousand year old godson, he was still very afraid of a demon like the Third Stall Chief of Dongchang.
"Just because you acted on a whim, Dongchang's plan was all ruined. Don't say that your plan didn't succeed. Even if it succeeded, what would happen? There is still some time left after the election, which is enough for them to find another person.
Instead, it was your stupidity that ruined my careful plan and aroused their vigilance. It will be even more difficult to implement anything in the future. If I hadn't sent someone to take action today except Ma Liu, Naicao would have followed the lead.
I'm going to take away you, the royal guard." The third gearman became more and more angry as he spoke, and his fingers almost touched Huang Zhen's head.
