But Chen Ruijin overheard that the Zeng family wanted to send their daughter to Du Dequ's family, and Jia Cong hurriedly went to Zhong Wei to discuss it. Zhong Wei frowned and said, "They are really willing to give it up."
Jia Cong said: "The Zeng family's status in Luzhou is too high. How do you deal with it?"
Zhong Wei hummed: "What to deal with? Is it useful to have Fan Cheng in the Zeng family?"
Jia Cong immediately said: "Are you kidding me? You can't even compare to one of Brother Fan's fingers, okay?"
Zhong Wei took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Then can Du Dequ compare to me?"
Jia Cong hurriedly extended a thumbs up: "Uncle Zhong, you are a tiger, Du Dequ is just a monkey. In a few days, he may not even be able to compare with Brother Zhong."
"But here you go again!" Zhong Wei held up the tea cup and said, "The Zeng family in the literature department can't compare to Fan Cheng, and the martial arts department Du Dequ can't compare to me and Heng'er. What do they do?"
Jia Cong thought for a moment: "That's right, what are they doing?" Then he dropped the matter.
Just when he took a breath, someone came in from outside and said to Zhong Wei: "The King of Chu is here."
Zhong Wei said: "I had guessed that he would come. I heard that Luzhou allows ordinary people to study for free, so I came here just to have a look. Don't pay attention."
Jia Cong tilted his head and thought for a long time: "Who is the King of Chu?"
Zhong Wei said: "Second child."
"I remember that one of these princes was studying, but I forgot who it was."
"That's Lao Qi, King Qi." Zhong Wei said with a smile, "I've already been here, and I specially waited for Zhong Heng to come back and held him close for a long time."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "Haha! Maybe he will also start compulsory education when he goes back." Nai added, "This second brother, I remember, is quite pretentious. He has recruited some important ministers in the court."
Zhong Wei said: "Prince Yizhong, King Yan and King Shu all almost got killed by him back then."
Jia Cong opened his mouth: "He killed so many at once?"
Zhong Wei said: "Not once, but three times. The second child never makes a move, and his move is a dead end. He has never touched the other ones. It's a pity that these three were not killed by some combination of circumstances."
Jia Cong clicked his tongue: "One prince, one is the smartest, and one has military merit. Hasn't he ever dealt with the Supreme Emperor?"
Zhong Wei said: "If we rely on his true ability, the Supreme Emperor ranks at the back among the nine brothers."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It shows that he didn't believe that Situ Pan would sincerely help the Supreme Emperor. In this regard, he is smarter than many people."
Zhong Wei said: "Without Situ Pan, the Supreme Emperor would not be able to hold on to the government. He has many powerful ministers in his hands."
Jia Cong yawned: "It's a shame he didn't come to power. This guy is more vicious than the King of Jin. If my ministers are more capable, he will be killed sooner or later. Then I really have only one way to immigrate to America."
Zhong Wei glanced at him: "He's worthless. He didn't attack the Supreme Emperor. If he had, he would have died. Do you think Liu Dengxi is a vegetarian?"
The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "That's right. I'm afraid Liu Dengxi would like the second brother to kill those three first, and then collect some evidence to kill the second brother with his backhand." He rubbed his head and said, "I didn't sleep last night. "I'm full. Uncle Zhong, I'll go to the back and take a nap." He yawned and went to the guest room.
When he cried out that he was sleepy, Zhong Wei also felt sleepy, so he closed the door and took a nap in the house. Just as he fell asleep, something happened outside.
Because the King of Chu was an important guest, according to the teahouse tradition, Miaoyu cooked tea in the quiet room next door, and the tea lady brought it to him. Miaoyu's tea art was so good that there were many ordinary tea art masters, and it was so exquisite that few people in the market could taste it. The King of Chu brought a son here today. Both of them are tea ceremony masters. They praised him very much and insisted on meeting this tea master. The tea lady quickly said that the tea master was ugly and it was not convenient to see people. The King of Chu smiled and said: "No problem, I'm not afraid." The tea lady had no choice but to ask Miaoyu.
Miaoyu didn't see visitors at all; ever since she met Prince Zhongshun in her early years, she became more and more afraid of the emperor's family and refused to go out. The king of Chu came to Yuezhi Teahouse simply because he heard about the Zhong family's uncle and nephew who had descended into the mountains to be bandits.
It's just a matter of curiosity. Why would you pay attention to an ordinary teahouse? His son had a bad temper and said angrily: "A mere tea cook is really showing off." He ordered the tea masters to be brought over. Just then Zhong Wei said
"Don't worry about it", so few capable people are not here at this moment. There are only two ordinary waiters serving in their house, which can't stop the King of Chu's people at all. Miaoyu was dragged next door before she could leave.
I went to the King of Chu. I had no choice but to put my hands together and salute without saying a word.
King Chu and his son both gasped in shock: they had both seen Princess Yizhong. The room was silent for a long time, and King Chu pointed at her and asked, "Who are you!"
Miaoyu praised the Buddha: "A poor nun is an outsider."
King Chu then stared at her. Miaoyu just lowered her eyes and folded her hands. The room became eerily quiet again.
At this time, people in the teahouse called out to Zhong Wei. Zhong Wei hurried over and said to the King of Chu: "This master has superb tea skills. Our teahouse specially invited her to cook tea. Because she is a monk and it is not convenient for her to see guests, so she
I only tell the outside world that the tea master is ugly."
King Chu nodded and said: "You are really discerning." He stood up and bowed to Miaoyu, "I frightened the master, please forgive me." Then he laughed a few times, left a large ingot of silver, and led the people.
He left. His son looked back frequently, his eyes hitting Miaoyu one after another. Miaoyu became more and more frightened.
Didn't Zhong Wei know that they recognized Princess Yizhong? He immediately felt worried. He comforted Miaoyu for a few words, then picked up Jia Cong and talked to him, saying, "I'm afraid the King of Chu will notice her."
Jia Cong was startled and said, "Why is she so unlucky? She always messes with people in the Situ family." He then turned to look at Zhong Wei and said, "Why is she, a beautiful woman in her twenties, so different from you?
I've been a bachelor for two or three years and haven't gotten together with anyone? It's strange."
Zhong Wei chuckled and said: "Which of us has seen less beautiful women? Besides, even if we open a teahouse, we are still warriors. If she is in your house, she will definitely fall in love with your Shenying waiter from the lower realm of Wenqu Star."
Jia Cong bared his teeth and said, "That's right." Didn't the original novel fall in love with that person? "I forgot that your civil and military paths are different. Uncle Zhong, do you think the King of Chu will come to cause trouble?"
Zhong Wei hurriedly said: "Send this nun away quickly. King Chu had secretly admired Princess Yizhong for many years and would never let her go. This person is incomparable to King E."
"Ha? So bloody!" Jia Cong's eyes sparkled, "Could it be that Princess Yizhong is his first love?"
Zhong Wei said: "Don't talk nonsense. There were many people who admired the Crown Princess at that time. Miaoyu is just similar to her aunt in appearance, but her charm is completely different."
"Okay. Is the person he brought today the crown prince?"
"No," Zhong Wei said, "It's his third son. The prince is probably supervising the state of Chu at the moment."
"What is the character and ability of this third son? How is the eldest son?"
Zhong Wei glanced at him: "What are you planning?"
Jia Cong grinned: "Curious." Zhong Wei briefly talked about the sons of King Chu. Because King Chu's own brothers fought fiercely, he always stood up for the eldest son, so the sons of King Chu didn't have any internal fights and were focused on
Supporting the prince. The prince's temperament is not much better than that of the King of Chu, but because life goes smoothly, he is more courageous than his father. Jia Cong nodded and stretched: "Uncle Zhong, I suddenly feel that Miaoyu looks so good."
She looks like her aunt, really good." Zhong Wei glanced at him.
The next day, the King of Chu sent someone to Yuezhi Tea House to propose marriage, and asked the name of the beautiful lady who was making tea, and wanted to take her as his concubine. Naturally, Miaoyu refused. But this time, she had revealed her identity.
Uncle, the King of Chu. The Kingdom of Chu is much larger than the Kingdom of Lu. Even if the King of Lu wanted to protect Miaoyu, he would not be able to do so. What’s more, Miaoyu is only a commoner’s daughter. It is obvious that he is using his power to overwhelm others. Zhong Wei obviously did not want to offend the King of Chu.
When she got up, she beat the King of Chu's people away with a hard blow. She turned around and discussed with Miaoyu that the capital was probably settled now, so it would be better to send someone to take her back to the capital. Miaoyu had long wanted to return to the capital, so she immediately agreed.
.
Jia Cong had already sent people to return Miaoyu's many antique tea sets in Beijing, but her maidservant still stayed at Zhenwu'an. This trip was in a hurry and she didn't bring them with her. She only said that they would be given to her someday.
She was sent back to the capital. She hurriedly packed a small baggage, and Zhong Wei sent a brother to drive her out of the city immediately. Since the King of Chu fell in love with her and knew that she was unwilling, how could he not send someone to keep an eye on Miaoyu?
They had only walked half a day's journey when they were blocked by the King of Chu's men. There were dozens of people, and they were just two, wasn't it for nothing? The driver quickly untied his horse and ran away, leaving the car and Miaoyu behind.
On the main road.
When the King of Chu heard that Miaoyu had been captured alive, he laughed loudly. He did not visit any of the schools, and General Xiao Zhong was also missing. He immediately led his people to leave Luzhou. After meeting with Miaoyu, the King of Chu cajoled her with good words for a long time. Miaoyu
Ignoring him at all, he just bowed his head and recited the Buddha's name. The King of Chu smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. My beauty, you will naturally change your mind when you get to the Chu Kingdom." Then he happily led the people to the Chu Kingdom.
That night, it was raining in spring, and the King of Chu and his party stayed in a town on the border between Wu and Chu. Thinking that in a few days they would be able to have a wedding with flowers and candles, the King of Chu felt happy. His son also congratulated his father on his new beauty, so he drank more
After a few glasses of wine, he went to Miaoyu's house to make fun of her. Seeing the frightened and pitiful look on the beauty's face, she laughed even more loudly.
Suddenly smelling a wisp of fragrance drifting by, King Chu sniffed and approached Miaoyu: "What kind of fragrance does a beauty use?"
Miaoyu just chanted the Buddha's name and closed her eyes silently.
Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the more he looked at it, the more energetic he became. The King of Chu could no longer control himself. He thought, after all, he had snatched this woman away, and even if he returned to Chu State, he would have to force her with her. She was a
Sister-in-law, I don’t usually do fireworks; but when I get the taste of sex, I will naturally obey. Then I walked to the door and asked the guard who was watching Miaoyu to go outside the yard. The guards knew what the prince was going to do, so they laughed mischievously.
He shouted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty," and ran away. The King of Chu smiled, closed the door, and came to Miaoyu, stroking his beard and smiling: "Beauty, it's better to choose the day than to hit it. As the old saying goes,*
*A moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold, why don’t we two take a rest."
Miaoyu was so frightened that her soul flew away. She shivered for a long time and suddenly closed her eyes and recited the sutra.
The King of Chu smiled and said, "Beauty knows how to recite sutras, but she doesn't know that dual cultivation is also a practice?" Then he undressed and took off his belt.
Seeing that the King of Chu had come forward, Miaoyu closed her eyes, tensed her whole body, and made two embroidered fists to prepare for struggle. Suddenly she heard a soft "plop" sound, and several muffled ** sounds. Miaoyu
Yu couldn't help but open her eyes and take a look - two men in black were standing in front of her. One covered King Chu's mouth, the other looked on with his arms folded. A small sword tip emerged from King Chu's chest.
Not long after, the King of Chu died in anger. Miaoyu only recognized these two men at the teahouse. They came with Jia Cong. One was named Chen and the other was Shi. The one who killed the King of Chu was Chen.
The girl took out a set of black night clothes from somewhere and threw it to her: "Master, please put it on quickly."
Miaoyu didn't care that the other Mr. Shi was a man, and hurriedly changed into night clothes. Miss Chen took Miaoyu's ziyi on a green leather bag and carried it behind her back. Mr. Shi gently picked up Miaoyu, and the two looked at each other.
With one glance, he flew out of the window and disappeared in the rain curtain in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the intersection two streets away from the inn. Miss Chen threw the bundle of clothes into the carriage, threw down the monk's hat worn by Miaoyu on the ground, and drove away. Master Shi
Carrying Miaoyu through the streets and alleys to the other end of the town, there was a farmer's shed with two horses tied outside. The two got into the shed, and Mr. Shi said: "This night clothes is soaked in oil to make it waterproof.
"So he took a baggage from under the haystack in the shed, threw a bamboo hat to Miaoyu, and put one on himself. The two immediately came out, mounted their horses, and left in the rain all night.
The next day, the soldiers found the body of the King of Chu. His son stroked the body and cried. They also found that Miaoyu was missing. They immediately searched the town and found Miaoyu's monk's hat not long after. Some people said that they heard Miaoyu's hat last night.
There was the sound of a carriage leaving here, and because it wasn't raining heavily, there were ruts on the road. The son of the King of Chu hurriedly led his people to chase along the ruts. After chasing for most of the day, they caught up with an empty carriage, with people lying inside.
There was a baggage, and there was a Ziyi in it. So I went back and searched the town for several days, but no traces could be found, and no jade could be found. I had no choice but to drag the body of the King of Chu back to the country for funeral.
On the other end, Chen Ruijin went around in a circle with Miaoyu Shili and told Miaoyu: "The way the master left Luzhou that day was heading to the capital. The Chu State must be suspicious, so it is not safe for you to return to the capital. There is Beringyi in Lingnan.
The two gentlemen, Bai Lingen, were both Prince Yi Zhong's former subordinates, and the Bai family also raised a princess of Prince Yi Zhong. It would be better to send the master there, which is safer than in King Yan's territory in the capital." Miaoyu thanked her repeatedly.
Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Master didn't bring those antique tea sets with him. Otherwise, it would have been an advantage to the King of Chu. We will send them to Lingnan for you in the future." Miaoyu hurriedly chanted Buddha's words to express her thanks.
The two of them then escorted Miaoyu to Tongcheng, and handed the girl over to Jia's Ma Xing, who escorted Miaoyu to Lingnan and brought a letter from Jia Cong. They asked them to go to the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi first, and Prince Teng could see her.
The letter will tell you what to do. Chen and Shi returned to Luzhou. Zhong Wei and others had just fooled away the people sent by the Chu State to inquire about Miaoyu's origins. He only said that the woman was rescued on the road and knew that she was from Suzhou.
, who was born in Suzhou. Because she was really good at tea, she was taken in; no one else knew about it. Because they told the truth, they swore a few bad oaths. The Chu people didn’t believe her, but there was no other evidence.
, unable to do so for the time being. Jia Cong said with a smile: "Master Miaoyu's face has probably been professionally killing the prince for fifty years."
Only two or three years after the fall of the world, two princes died, both of them in mysterious circumstances. King E just paid it back, but the death of King Chu made all the kings be more vigilant, and they no longer dared to go as they pleased.
Other countries came to visit. The business of Red Bones was much better. But the Chu State knew that Miaoyu looked very similar to the former Princess Yi Zhong, and secretly suspected that Miao Yu was an old subordinate of Prince Yi Zhong. (.. )
