Situ Cen, the third son of the King of Shu, married Qiu. Soon after the wedding ceremony, the groom only had a few glasses of wine and then said he felt a little unhappy and went to the side room to rest. There were princes outside to support the scene, and the guests were secretly wondering, but no one dared
Just guessing. A small yellow gate came outside and gestured at the prince from a distance. The prince then called him over to ask questions.
The little eunuch smiled from ear to ear, kowtowed to the prince and said, "Our highness and the bride have left. Mr. Jia and his wife escorted them out of the city gate in person."
The prince nodded and asked, "Where is Mr. Jia?"
"Mr. Jia came back with the slaves. Just now, his wife saw that there was a prosperous shop selling dragon noodles on the roadside, so she took Mr. Jia to eat dragon noodles. Mr. Jia said he would come over after eating."
The prince said with a smile: "If you want to eat dragons, don't you think there is no one in this mansion?" He rewarded him with a purse and sent him off.
Not long after, Jia Cong and his wife arrived. Jia Cong had stayed in Shu for a long time. Many officials knew him and came up to say hello. Someone also mentioned calling the groom to come out. Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "No need.
I’m going to see the prince later in life.”
The prince came to meet him, and the two of them went inside to meet the King of Shu. On the way, the prince quietly asked: "Where is the third child?"
"I don't know." Jia Cong said, "He didn't tell me. He said he was taking his new wife for their honeymoon."
The prince said: "Now that we have brought the person back, wouldn't it be just right? Why is he running away?"
Jia Cong said: "If he didn't run away, it would be a smart son who saw through his mother's trick, and used the trick to get the bride, and proudly went to the church to get married. The princess tried so hard, but in the end it was all in vain. Can she be happy inside?
?The princess was unhappy, and was reluctant to repair her son, least of all her new daughter-in-law. Now it became that the naughty child ruined her mother's careful arrangements, and ran away in fear for fear of her mother being angry. Although the princess was angry, no one else was around, even though she was angry.
I can't vent my anger on Mrs. Qiu."
The prince shook his head: "Nonsense." He asked again, "Who are you bringing?"
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "How would I know? I won't bring less guards."
While they were talking, they arrived in front of a warm pavilion, where the King of Shu was sitting. The two went in to pay their respects. The King of Shu glanced at the two of them, but refused to let them get up, and asked Jia Cong, "Has the mistress run away?"
Jia Cong chuckled: "My lord, you really know."
The King of Shu snorted: "When is he going to come back?"
Jia Cong said: "This late student really doesn't know. Since he said he was on honeymoon, he must be back next month."
The King of Shu snorted again: "Why is he running away?"
Jia Cong said: "I'm afraid that the princess will be angry. After a month, no matter how strong the anger is, it will subside."
The prince hurriedly smiled and said: "My mother and concubine won't be really angry with him, she can just coax him."
The King of Shu turned to look at his son: "Are you really not afraid?"
The prince said: "If the third son had that kind of intention, he would not have to marry this one. Just like the wise king back then."
Jia Cong said: "If he hadn't married this woman, he might not have had that intention in the first place, but maybe he would have. After all, only the person sitting in the highest position can marry whoever he wants without being restricted. Now he wants to
You have already got what you want, and you don’t have to let go of what you don’t want. That’s the best thing.”
The King of Shu sighed: "I only hope that you brothers will live in harmony."
Jia Cong said sternly: "They are the only two brothers of the Tian family who are harmonious in the whole country. Wan Sheng sincerely hopes that they can be in harmony forever. We know that family affection sometimes overcomes the desire for power."
The King of Shu looked at their meeting and ordered him to get up and sit aside. Then he asked about the Taoist Master. Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said, "Other than that letter, Wansheng doesn't know anything."
The king of Shu said: "The leaders of the Maitreya sect in various countries were found out by the state of Wu. Did you know?"
Jia Cong said: "I know a little about this. The King of Wu got an advantage. An important figure in the Maitreya Sect rebelled... Well, he surrendered and handed over this list. The King of Wu gave him a serious identity and asked him to pretend to be a soldier.
I went to South America with Wei Ruoheng. I must be afraid that the remnants of the Maitreya Sect will pursue me."
The prince frowned and said, "The Tao of Heavenly Master is even more difficult to distinguish from ordinary Taoism."
Jia Cong thought: "Your Majesty, Wan Sheng is wondering if I can follow the example of the gourd."
The King of Shu asked: "What method of painting?"
Jia Cong winked: "As the saying goes, as long as you dance well with a hoe, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Under heavy rewards, there will always be traitors. In addition to giving money to officials, they will also arrange new identities. Those who want to go abroad can also
It can be sent overseas. This is called a "Tainted Witness". Has Aten mentioned the "Tainted Witness Protection Plan" to the prince? They discussed it at the APEC meeting a few days ago, and Aten was present. Like the leader of the Maitreya Cult.
Not only did Wu Guo arrange a good identity for him to avoid overseas, but the local government also helped protect him to prevent him from being retaliated against. After solving his worries, he can surrender easily, right?"
The King of Shu thought: "If Maitreya teaches the Heavenly Master a first-class way, that's all. What if there are treacherous people who commit great evil?"
"That one is naturally not within the scope of protection." Jia Cong said, "This is another kind of crime that requires cooperation with other countries. For major crimes such as murder, it is difficult to recover the criminal if he goes overseas."
The king of Shu said: "I am talking about the likes of sheep pouring water."
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Who dares to take in such a person?"
The prince said: "What if Lian Po defected to Wei?"
Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "Then there is no other way. Talents flow naturally. If Zhongliang is not reused in Zhao State, it is not surprising if he changes his employer."
The King of Shu was silent for a long time: "Think about it again." Jia Cong shrugged.
Suddenly the prince and Jia Cong came out, and the prince said: "As the head of a country, my father has many worries."
Jia Cong sighed: "I understand. Old people always dare not innovate. Back then, he had the courage to be the first to fight overseas and made a lot of profits. But now he dare not cooperate with others. Trust this thing, and there is no doubt between countries.
It's quite difficult." The prince was noncommittal.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Situ Cen and his newlywed wife Qiu ran away on the day of their wedding and wanted to choose a quiet place to spend their honeymoon. Jia Cong told him that he honeymooned in a village in Qiongzhou and took no one with him.
They were just a young couple. How could Situ Cen know that Jia Cong was marrying a powerful man? Then he thought, it was in the territory of Shu anyway, how troublesome it would be to bring guards? So he didn’t bring a guard, and he had a sword hanging on his waist.
Kouzi put on ordinary people's clothes and rode away. Since Emei is said to be beautiful in the world, why not go to Mount Emei for your honeymoon?
The first two days were uneventful, but on the third day, something happened while passing by a small town at noon. Mrs. Qiu was a good-looking person, and she stood out among the many guests traveling from north to south.
It was unavoidable to attract people to watch. Some of them deliberately shouted obscene words and whistled. Situ Cen was furious, pulled out his sword and chopped up a stool. When everyone saw that he was so good with the weapon, they all concluded that they were no match and they were all honest.
They actually kept their mouths shut, and some simply ran away with their rations in their hands. Situ Cen felt he was a hero and was quite proud of himself.
The two of them finished eating and paid their bills and went out. After getting on their horses, they walked less than half a street when a large group of people poured out in front of them. Situ Cen took a look at the horse and saw that these people were not like ordinary idlers. They all had something in their hands.
He was armed with a weapon and had a strong body, so he was sure to be able to fight many of them. After the crowd was divided, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out from the back, swaggering up to them, stroking his beard, pointing at Mr. Qiu and asking Situ Cen
: "Is this your wife?"
Situ Cen stopped his horse in front of Qiu and said, "Yes."
The housekeeper said: "Our master heard someone say that your wife is very good-looking, and she was asked to take her over to show him. Let me see..." He raised his head and looked at Qiu carefully.
Qiu got angry and threw the horsewhip on the ground: "I'll dig out your dog's eyes again!"
"Oh~~ You're quite hot-tempered." The housekeeper smiled, "Fierce-tempered people are also interesting. I will definitely like it."
"Bold!" Situ Cen shouted, "You are seeking death!"
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "I advise you to offer up the young lady honestly, it will be beneficial to you. Anyway, our master is not something you can afford to offend."
Situ Cen narrowed his eyes: "Who is your master?"
The butler cupped his hands and said, "Our master's sister is the princess. Who do you think our master is?"
Situ Cen sneered and said: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't identify your relatives randomly. The princess and the queen only have two younger brothers. Where did the older brother come from?"
The housekeeper was unfazed when he was exposed: "How can a commoner like you know if the princess has a brother?" He waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
Only then did Situ Cen realize that he was surrounded by people behind him. There were hundreds of people in total together with those in front of him. He panicked a little and shouted: "Are you looking for death?"
The housekeeper shouted again: "Take this lady away, I will beat the man to death!"
Situ Cen took out a fire and gun from his arms and said: "Who dares to mess around!" The crowd around him was slightly startled, and they could not stand still after initially surging up.
The butler shouted: "Fire and gun are extraordinary for ordinary people! They must be fake!"
Situ Cen fired a "bang" shot into the sky, which frightened the people and made them retreat. He then raised the gun and aimed it at the housekeeper. The housekeeper yelled "Ouch" in fright, covered his head and ran away. The leader
He ran away, but hundreds of people didn't dare to step forward. He ran away in the blink of an eye. Situ Cen had never felt so refreshed, and he laughed uproariously. After laughing, he turned to look at his wife for praise.
Qiu praised him with a smile, then frowned and said, "I feel a little uneasy. Acen, let's go back."
"Ah?" Situ Cen was stunned, "We have only been out for three days!"
Qiu shook her head: "I don't know why, I just feel my heartbeat is beating hard and I feel vaguely bad. Three days here and three days back, six days is enough. My new wife hasn't served tea to Weng Gu yet.
.”
Situ Cen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? It's not too late to go back after the honeymoon to pay your respects."
Qiu still shook her head: "I'm not sure, so I should go back to Chengdu."
Situ Cen felt uneasy thinking that she was "escaping from marriage", so he smiled and said, "You are bold when you are young, but why are you so timid when you are grown up?" He turned his horse's head and said, "If that's the case, just go back." Two
People then stopped moving forward and turned back to Chengdu.
At night, they found a hotel and stayed at an inn. Qiu was still frightened, and for some reason, she stared at the candle in a daze. Situ Cen thought she was afraid that the princess would be unhappy, so he shook her hand and said, "I'm here."
Qiu sighed softly and was about to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy. Situ Cen shouted, "No, I've fallen into a trap!" She felt the world was spinning. She tried hard to open her eyes but couldn't, and immediately fell to the ground.
.
When Situ Cen woke up, he felt that all his limbs were tied up, his eyes were dark, his face felt like coarse linen material, and he was hanging in the air. After a while, he heard footsteps all around, and he thought he was being put in a sack.
He was being carried away. His heart had already jumped into his throat. He didn't dare to speak, let alone move. I don't know how long it took, but he heard someone say: "This man doesn't look fat, but he is too heavy."
Another said: "Who is this?" The one in front said: "Shut up! Who do you care? Just do your work honestly." The two of them were silent.
After walking for a long time, the two of them threw Situ Cen heavily to the ground. Situ Cen shivered in pain and did not dare to move. The sound of a hoe digging into the ground could be heard outside the sack. Situ Cen's mind was now as clear as a mirror:
Digging a hole and burying him alive! He was afraid that he would have to pay for his little life. Just now he was thinking whether he had entered a black shop or let the noon gang take revenge. Now he understood that he must be retaliated by someone - the designated general of the black shop.
I sent it to the back kitchen and slaughtered it to make steamed buns. How could such fresh ingredients be left alone? I don’t know how my beloved wife is, but it fell into the hands of that master... I thought about it without stopping. When Situ Cen was a teenager
He had learned from Master Wu to get rid of the rope. While the two men were busy digging the hole, he quietly took out his hands and touched into his boots: the dagger hidden in the boots was still there. He took out the dagger and cut the rope. Then he lay down for a while.
After a while, when his legs regained some flexibility, he cut open the sack again. His dagger was originally a precious blade, cutting iron like clay. With just a slight stroke and a roll, Situ Cen came out of the sack.
The two diggers were startled when they heard the noise. When they turned around, Situ Cen had already stood up. The moonlight was bright that night, and Situ Cen could see clearly. One was tall and the other was short. Both were covered with tendons and had bright eyes.
, are both Lianjiazi. I saw the short one among them sighing lowly, cupping his hands and saying: "This strong man, I have been offended. Although you and I have no grievances, I cannot spare your life today. Next year today, I will give the strong man
Burn some paper money and go on your way in peace."
Situ Cen sneered and was about to refute him with some cheap words, when he saw the man flashing in front of him. He quickly held the dagger and fought with the man. They only fought for three or four rounds.
Situ Cen knew: these two are not minions. The short one is a master, and the tall one must be good too. He was anxious in his heart and said: "Who are you, and who is above you? You know I am
Who?"
The short one also said while fighting: "Your Majesty, you don't need to know who we are, we have roughly guessed who you are. Since you have to live with your Majesty, your Majesty will not survive. It's better to save some energy and fight with me."
With two moves, you can live half an hour longer."
Situ Cen became more and more anxious. He kept his mouth shut and concentrated on fighting the man. After another twenty moves, Situ Cen gradually became a little tired. The taller man was still waiting with his arms folded. When he was anxious, his hands were all messed up.
Suddenly, he was at a disadvantage. At this moment, he heard two laughs of "haha", and the taller man actually rushed over with two steps and joined forces with the shorter one to hit Situ Cen! Situ Cen shouted urgently: "You still ignore the rules of the green forest.
Already?"
Then the short one laughed and said: "We are not from the green forest, why should we care about the rules of the green forest?" Before he finished speaking, a palm hit Situ Cen's palm; Situ Cen's dagger fell to the ground. The short one smiled indifferently, "Friend,
I'm sorry. I said I would burn paper for you, so I won't coax you."
