Lying in Wang Xun's arms and crying silently for a while, Bai Yunzhi slowly stopped her tears. She was older than Wang Xun and had more experience. Although she was very reluctant to leave, she also knew very well that she would leave the capital for the time being and go to Anxi.
Taking refuge with Feng Changqing was a very wise choice for Wang Xun.
Going to Anxi is not just to gain fame. Although under the care of General Feng Changqing, Wang Xun will definitely get promoted faster by going there than staying in the capital. The more important point is that going to Anxi to deal with the barbaric peoples in the Western Regions will be beneficial to Wang Xun.
For Xun, it may be safer than staying in the Feilong Guards. The things he has come into contact with recently are too complicated, and many secrets cannot be exposed to the sun. The owners of those secrets may not be able to bear each other or are unable to hurt each other.
But it is easy to kill all the bystanders and silence them!
Even if others don't intend to silence him, with Wang Xun's careless character, it is inevitable that one day he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of a big shot. By then, I am afraid that Feng Changqing will be unable to protect him.
"You, when do you plan to leave?" She sniffed and asked in a low voice.
"As soon as possible! Let's go while the weather is still warm." Wang Xun thought for a while and replied with a smile. He only had a rough plan in mind now and could not set a specific time. He left the capital for Anxi. He rode to Jinjin yesterday.
The idea came to me on the way to Hualou. It was just an accident at first. Unexpectedly, I thought about it more and more seriously, and it gradually turned into an obsession.
"When the time comes, don't be too eager to make meritorious deeds. When there is danger, let others rush first. You can slow down from behind. No one can see it!" Bai Yuzhi did not care at all about the flaws in Wang Xun's words, ***
He closed his eyes and whispered.
"I know!" Wang Xun shook his head and laughed, his voice unintentionally dragging out. "How can a war be fought so easily? The countries in the Western Regions have long been frightened by Gao Xianzhi. They dare not stab him easily. I guess,
In a short period of time, there is no risk at all in expelling the horse bandits and eliminating the bandits!"
Since Li Linfu came to power, he was obsessed with party fighting and nepotism. The national power of the Tang Dynasty has slowly gone downhill. In border conflicts, he sometimes lost and sometimes won. There is no longer the deterrence of surrounding countries that stomped around in the Yongzheng period.
However, in order to whitewash peace, Li Linfu always exaggerated the results of his battles and turned defeat into victory. Therefore, the people had a very blind confidence in the military power of the Tang army. Especially people like Wang Xun who had never heard the sound of war since they were young.
A generation that simply regarded war as easy as drinking and fighting, and simply did not believe that they could be defeated, injured, or even lose their lives.
Seeing her lover speaking so arrogantly, Bai Yuzhi didn't dare to spoil her words. She pondered for a moment and continued to warn: "Then when you have time, think more about home. Think about Aunt Yun, Zi Luo, and me. Don't be too old.
If you think about fighting and killing people, your body will be stained with too much bloody smell, and the Buddha will blame you!"
"How can the Buddha care about me?" Wang Xun sneered at all the strange powers and chaos. "He hasn't got his own dinner yet. Last time I heard from Zhou Laohu that Tianzhu was invaded by food, and many Buddhist temples were destroyed.
The man in the white turban burned everything on fire. He also claimed that he was under the instructions of the gods. I don’t know which god it was, but he actually instigated a group of disciples and disciples to rob their homes and rob their homes?"
There are also many big cannibals wearing white turbans in Chang'an City. They are involved in jewelry, spices, silk, jewelry, and even the black market human trafficking. These guys can turn against each other as fast as flipping through a book, and they have no idea about buying and selling.
He did not adhere to the principle of benevolence and righteousness. He also liked to get together in groups and buy and sell by force. Therefore, his reputation among the people of Chang'an was not very good. After hearing Wang Xun speak openly about Buddhists and these big cannibals, Bai Yuzhi couldn't bear it.
I couldn't help but punch him hard, and cursed with a smile: "Don't say anything. Gods are all ears. Maybe they will hear you. Anyway, you have to be more careful. I will burn incense every day from today on, and pray for the Buddha's blessing."
Come back safely!"
"I hope the Buddha you beg for has a conscience! Don't eat your fragrance in vain." Wang Xun smiled and shook his head. He didn't think much of the Buddha, but he was very moved in his heart. "Let's not talk about this now. Please tell me about it.
Call Ping'er in and ask her to help you wash and change clothes. I'll go find Aunt Hong!"
"Oh!" Bai Yuzhi agreed smoothly, and then she realized that she was only wearing a robe and nothing underneath. Her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, she pushed Wang Xun away and put on a small coat on her head.
, while scolding, "It's all your fault. I'm still dizzy now. Don't rush downstairs. I'll talk to Hong Gu myself later. You can help me pull the rope at the foot of the bed first. Tie the other end
The ringing bell is right above Ping'er's head downstairs. When she hears it, she will come up soon!"
"Oh!" Wang Xun lowered his head after hearing this, and sure enough, he found a piece of red rope in an inconspicuous place on the upper left corner of the bed. "No wonder Ping'er always came over suddenly and pushed the door open in the past." As he pulled it, he made a sudden realization, "
Oh it's you……"
"You're trying to die!" Bai Yuzhi's self-protection trick was exposed, and she was so embarrassed that she waved her pink fist, "Didn't I let you succeed yesterday? Are you still not satisfied? Why do you keep bringing up the past?"
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Wang Xun smiled and pulled it a few more times. While carefully pursuing the faint ringtone, he frowned and said, "It's so clear, I didn't even notice it before! Then last night, she
Would not it be……"
Suddenly thinking of this, Bai Yuzhi immediately felt ashamed. She covered her face with her hands and exclaimed in a low voice, "Ah? Why didn't you remind me earlier? This is terrible, she has heard everything. What did you want me to do?"
See her?!"
It was obviously too late to think of a way to remedy it at this moment. The door knocker knocked lightly, and the maid Ping'er poked half of her head into the room with red eyes, "Miss, can I come in?"
"Don't-----!" Bai Yuzhi subconsciously refused, then thought that she had nothing to hide, turned her head to the corner, and added in a low voice, "Don't stand at the door. Come in quickly and help organize your clothes. Damn it, girl, go to sleep."
It’s so heavy that you didn’t get up early to help me wash my face!”
This was simply unreasonable. If she didn't ring the bell, how could the other party dare to come up and spoil her sweet dream? Fortunately, Ping'er had been following Bai Yongzhi for many years. Knowing that the mistress had a tender face, she apologized in a low voice, lowered her head, and silently stepped forward.
, help each other wash and dress up.
There were very few clothes to wear in summer. Bai Yuzhi quickly packed up her outfit and sat in front of the dressing table. Her eyes glanced at the bronze mirror, and inadvertently, she suddenly saw Ping'er holding a comb and crying silently behind her.
He was stunned, then he spat with a smile: "You're so angry! I blamed you wrongly, okay? Stop crying. It's so early in the morning, and you won't be afraid of swollen eyes from crying!"
"Miss..." After hearing this, Ping'er felt even more sad. She actually ignored Wang Xun and stood not far away, holding Bai Yuzhi on her shoulders and sobbing.
After taking care of each other for so many years, Bai Yuzhi felt a little sad when they were about to leave. She sighed and said comfortingly: "Don't cry, I'll just take you with me. Later, I'll talk to Hong Gu for you."
!”
"Sister, you, you are really stupid this time!" Not knowing how to express her feelings, Ping'er choked up. Originally, the two of them had been cooperating with each other and had agreed to force Wang Xun to agree to bring Bai Yunzhi to justice first.
He had to take over the old house in Chongrenfang before he could get it. Unexpectedly, last night, Bai Yuzhi was so dizzy that she didn't stick to the bottom line. She didn't even ask for a promise, so she just handed her over in a daze.
go out.
What if Wang Xun is full and wipes his mouth and leaves? How can a brothel woman find a place to denounce her benefactor for being unlucky? What if after entering the Wang family, she is bullied by a pair of old and young foxes in her family? The master and servant have nothing to do with each other.
I have no one to rely on, who can I rely on when the time comes?
The more she thought about it, the more worried Ping'er became. She actually stayed up all night with her eyes open last night. When she saw Bai Yuzhi this morning, she couldn't bear it any longer, and all her doubts turned into tears.
Turning around to hug the maid Ping'er, Bai Yuzhi felt mixed emotions in her heart. In the battle of wits with Wang Xun, Ping'er kept a straight face and acted like a villain, while she pretended to be a weak and ownerless character. In fact,
, all the good and evil people are arranged by her secretly, and Ping'er is just a puppet on strings.
But last night, she took the initiative to pull out the hairpin and handed her long hair and clean body into Wang Xun's hands. From a certain angle, Ping'er said she was stupid, and she was not wrong at all. Thinking of this,
Bai Yongzhi held back her tears, patted Ping'er on the shoulder, and whispered in a low voice: "You are right. My sister is stupid. But women will be stupid sooner or later in their lives."
"For him?" Ping'er was stunned for a moment and looked back at Wang Xun, who was restless. She was still as confused as before. From two years ago to now, she had never seen anything good about this man.
But everything was done. The master had made a choice, so how could she, a little maid, have the right to comment? She had no choice but to gamble and resign herself to fate. While she was feeling sorry for herself, she heard the hostess ordering with a smile, "Stop staring. From now on."
, we sisters have to rely on him. Hurry to the lobby and invite Aunt Hong over for me. Just say that I have decided to marry Wang Lang and plan to say goodbye to her today!"
"Yes!" Ping'er nodded, stood up, and walked out silently. A moment later, with the sound of hurried footsteps, the old madam of Jinhua Tower, Honggu, rushed in crying, "Alas, I
Meat, why are you so stupid? No matter what, let me prepare it first. Just leave as soon as you leave. Isn’t this using a knife to carve out my heart..."
"Sister Hong, please don't cry. Just ask for the ransom money!" Wang Xun was so embarrassed by crying that he took half a step to the side and said with a smile.
"This is not a matter of money!" Hong Gu grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her eyes vigorously, "Even if I wasn't pregnant in ten months, Zhi'er was born with a handful of shit and a handful of urine. I
I planned to give Jinhua House to her so that she could provide for me in my old age. Who would have expected that she, an outgoing girl, actually..."
While crying, she peeked at Wang Xun. As early as last night, when she saw that Wang Xun had not come downstairs, she had already started sharpening her knife. She just didn't know where the other person's limit was. She was afraid that the offer was too low.
I'm sorry for myself. The price I offered was too high, and I was afraid of being cheated, so I smashed Bai Yuzhi into my hand. After all, after last night, Bai Yuzhi can no longer count the people as the herdsmen. I'll stay in Jinhua Building for one more day in the future.
The price will drop a bit. (Note 1)
"I know that she is the signature of Jinhua Tower. But she and I are really in love with each other. So, please ask Sister Hong to help me!" Hearing Sister Hong cry heartbreakingly, Wang Xun had some misunderstandings.
He understood what she meant. He smiled and continued to ask for permission.
After all, this guy surnamed Wang is too stupid. If there were other guests, Bai Yuzhi would have ceased to be a shepherd a year and a half ago. Only this idiot has worked so hard to wait until now! Such a fool,
If you don't kill, you won't kill. Thinking of this, Hong Gu put away her tears and choked up: "Without Zhi'er, I have no choice but to close Jinhua Building. There are hundreds of mouths in this building, so you can't just give a few money."
Just send them away. They have been Zhi'er's sisters for many years and share the same love as brothers. If the young prince really feels sorry for Zhi'er..."
She was about to quote a sky-high price, but Bai Yuzhi could not bear it anymore. She coughed slightly and stepped forward to interject, "Auntie, don't say that. The sisters built the Jinhua Building's signboard together. My daughter dare not
Stealing the credit of others. I remember that when you bought me, you only spent three ounces of money. Later, you hired many teachers to teach me singing, dancing, writing, and painting. But since I was fourteen years old, in which year did I earn back for you?
The money is less than Qian Diao?"
"That can't be calculated like that!" After hearing this, Aunt Hong immediately changed her expression, "In order to protect you from being bullied, I have tried my best! There are also rouge, gouache, jewelry, everything, pick them all up
I’ll pick the best one for you. Just take the one you live in..."
"Auntie, didn't we agree? Let's get together and part ways. There are so many sisters in the building, who can stay by your side until old age? You are not short of money when you are old, so why don't you leave them a good thought?
?" Bai Yuzhi immediately put away her weak posture, leaned her body on Wang Xun's shoulder, and responded with a smile.
"This..." She didn't expect Bai Yongzhi to become so tough, and Hong Gu was immediately speechless. In the brothel business, she made a lot of money, and at the same time, she stepped on the edge of the knife. When she was young, she had seen with her own eyes, a man who climbed up
The courtesan who turned into a phoenix from Gao Zhi forced the former madam to the point where she could neither survive nor die. If she gritted her teeth today and refused to let go, she would certainly be able to scrape thousands of pieces of meat from Wang Xun's body. But as soon as the price was announced,
It is equivalent to setting an example for other "daughters" in Jinhua Tower. Those who cannot find someone like Wang Xun to take advantage of will inevitably hold a grudge. If someone is lucky enough in the future, I am afraid that the prosperity of Jinhua Tower will come to an end.
Moreover, Wang Xun himself is a hereditary viscount and a sixth-grade captain, with a bright future. Bai Yuzhi is obviously someone who can be favored for a long time even if she becomes a concubine. If the two of them turn around and settle old scores after becoming rich,
…
"I heard someone say that the profit of selling pearls across the ocean is only twenty times." Seeing Bai Yuzhi leaning on him with a proud face, Wang Xun, who was a little dizzy with joy, slowly recovered.
He woke up, thought for a while, and added with a smile, "Including the expenses that Xiangzhi has spent in the building over the years, I will give you a thousand pork belly. What do you think? In the future, you will still be Xiangzhi's elder, and the two of us will never be together.
You will forget the benefits of your old age!”
A thousand pork belly is good, enough to buy a hundred girls when the opportunity is right, and from childhood to adulthood. She has already made plans to lose money. How can Honggu refuse? Pretend not to see Bai Yuzhi step on the king hard
Xun Zhi's little man boots raised his handkerchief and agreed without any words, "Okay, okay, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Marquis. I won't say anything else. Whatever you like in this house, you can just take it."
"Together with this little girl's film..." At this point, she pointed at Ping'er, who was facing Wang Xun angrily, "It's considered a bonus, and it's free!"
