Piracy detected! Seeing Wei Xiaobao rescuing Chen Jinnan, Wang Xu also retreated from Lichun Courtyard.
Unlike Wei Xiaobao, he didn't take Chen Jinnan's martial arts seriously, so he naturally didn't think that joining Tiandi would be beneficial to him, and he didn't think of anyone repaying him when he rescued others.
Soon, as shown in the plot, without Wang Xu's intervention, Wei Xiaobao joined the Tiandihui and took on the task of lurking in the palace to collect the forty-two chapters.
As for why it was so clear, it was very simple. There was something called a bug, which was made by Wang Xu and looked like broken pieces of silver, and was thrown at Wei Xiaobao's feet at any time.
Wei Xiaobao is a character who loves to take advantage of small things. When he saw the broken pieces of money, he stepped on them without saying a word and put them into his pocket without thinking. He was flattered that he had gotten a big deal.
outside the palace
The eunuch's purification room is located in the northeast corner of Jingshan Mountain outside the palace, in a place called Huanghua Gate.
Huanghuamen is a place name, and it is also a side door leading to the palace. The fruits and vegetables needed by the palace are usually transported from this place.
Today is the day for recruiting kitchen servants in the palace. There is a sea of people outside the Huanghua Gate, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Many ordinary people are eager to get in, hoping to get a job without worrying about food and clothing.
Wei Xiaobao got up very early today, before dawn. After drinking a bowl of soy milk, he came to Huanghua Gate happily.
He was ordered to enter the palace today to act as an undercover agent. His new master, Chen Jinnan, had already made arrangements for him. He would start as a handyman in the kitchen, and then find opportunities for him to make meritorious deeds so that he could gain a firm foothold in the imperial city. Finally,
It was to steal the forty-two chapters of the Sutra and obtain these four sutras that were said to contain the treasures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"Wow, there are at least a few hundred people in such a long team. Are you recruiting handymen or choosing a prince-in-law?" When Wei Xiaobao rushed outside Huanghua Gate, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, but he looked up at the people who were recruiting handymen.
At least there were six to seven hundred people.
Wei Xiaobao scratched his head. He was born to be restless. He looked at the sign that said Handyman Recruitment Office and muttered: "It won't be noon by the time I get to this place. I don't know if food is taken care of here."
?”
As he said this, Wei Xiaobao shook his head, trying to see if there was any chance of jumping in line.
After a while, the opportunity to jump in line was not found. Instead, Wei Xiaobao saw another recruitment location next to the recruitment of handymen.
"Hey, why is there no one at this recruitment point?" Wei Xiaobao looked around and found that the first recruitment point was crowded with people, but the second recruitment point was empty.
Wei Xiaobao didn't know how to read. He looked at the two recruitment signs for a long time, but he didn't find any difference between the second recruitment location and the first recruitment location.
"Brother Guard, is this also a recruitment office?" Wei Xiaobao walked over with a shrunken head and asked the guard standing guard at the door of the second recruitment office.
The guard looked Wei Xiaobao up and down, with a look of sympathy on his face, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, hurry in."
"Thank you, brother." Wei Xiaobao thought he was getting an advantage, so he lowered his head and was about to rush in.
And just when he was about to walk in, a pair of big hands patted his shoulders from behind and asked: "Brother, are you here to be a eunuch too?"
"No, I'm here to be a handyman." Wei Xiaobao said without looking back. Then he felt strange and turned around and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"This is the eunuch recruitment point. Of course he thought you were here to be a eunuch." The guard standing nearby added, so frightened that Wei Xiaobao's expression changed on the spot.
He came here to be an undercover handyman, not to be a eunuch. Wei Xiaobao felt chilly down there just after hearing the words "eunuch recruitment".
"Brothers, I'm in the wrong place. I'm here to be a handyman, not a eunuch!" Wei Xiaobao knew where this place was and he didn't dare to stay there, so he hurried towards the handyman recruitment point.
Seeing Wei Xiaobao running away, the guard shook his head regretfully and whispered: "What's wrong with being a eunuch? It saves ten years of hard work with one knife. Today's young people are really getting more and more impatient, and they don't want to suffer at all."
."
"You can become a master only if you endure hardships!" The man who stopped Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded to the guards, then stepped into the eunuch recruitment point.
The man who stopped Wei Xiaobao was Wang Xu who came to steal the opportunity.
He knew very well that Wei Xiaobao's opportunity started from here. According to the plot in the movie, Wei Xiaobao could be brought into the palace by Hai Dafu in the name of eunuch without having to cleanse himself.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xu walked in the somewhat cold corridor towards the cleansing room.
There were five eunuchs sitting in the cleansing room, one old man was the chief surgeon, and four eunuchs were the assistant eunuchs.
When several people saw Wang Xu coming in, they couldn't help but smile. The old eunuch said: "You are here, please come this way."
Wang Xu said nothing and followed the old eunuch into the house.
There were no furnishings in the room, only a bed, a table covered with yellow cloth, and a few ropes hanging from the beams.
"Don't look at it. Just lie down and close your eyes. When you open them again, everything will be over. We are not cheating here. The eight taels of silver we agreed on are eight taels. After you are cleansed, you want to put it on your body or send it back to you."
It's all right, there's nothing to be afraid of." As the old eunuch said, he motioned to several eunuchs to tie Wang Xu to the wooden bed.
Wang Xu shook his head slightly, stopped the movements of several young eunuchs, and said: "No need to bother, I will lie down on it myself."
Seeing that Wang Xu was not afraid at all, the old eunuch smiled amiably and felt that he had found a good idea.
Wang Xu didn't know what the old eunuch was thinking. He was looking at the surrounding environment, secretly thinking about the chance of rushing out from here if Hai Dafu didn't show up.
100%, this is Huanghua Gate, there are not many guards in the first place, and there are even fewer guards left in the cleansing room.
Except for the four officers and soldiers at the gate, there were only these five eunuchs in the cleansing room. Unless each of these five eunuchs had Chen Jinnan's martial arts, they would never be able to stop him.
"I hope the plot has not changed, otherwise I will have to fight out at the last moment in order to not be a eunuch." Wang Xu is not really here to serve the emperor. He will not sit back and wait for death if he can't do anything. He has already thought of a countermeasure for himself.
Several eunuchs didn't know what he was thinking, and they were still talking about the rules, such as various taboos after purification.
Wang Xu was not interested in these words. He listened patiently just to delay the conversation and asked two questions from time to time.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes
Ten minutes passed quickly, and after all the taboos had been explained, the old eunuch said: "It's almost done. The young man drinks this bowl of tea and will be fine after a sleep."
The tea contains Mongolian sweat medicine, which is specially prepared for people who want to purify themselves.
Of course, Wang Xu couldn't drink it. When he took it, he accidentally knocked over the tea bowl.
"Why are you so careless? If this sloppy guy enters the palace and knocks over the noble's things, you have enough heads to chop him off." Seeing Wang Xu knocking over the tea bowl, the old eunuch looked displeased and started again.
Pour a bowl for Wang Xu.
This time, Wang Xu had no reason to shirk. Hai Dafu hadn't appeared at this time. Could it be that the plot without Wei Xiaobao was really different from the movie?
Just when Wang Xu was thinking this, his ears suddenly moved and he heard footsteps coming from outside.
There were two footsteps, one was extremely slight, and the other was unmistakable.
When Wang Xu heard this, he knew that the person walking in front was a master. He thought that Hai Dafu was here, but he took the tea bowl with a calm face and said: "Father, I will trouble you to take care of it in the future."
"It's easy to say, after today, we will be our own people." The old eunuch only thought that Wang Xu was saying good things and agreed perfunctorily.
The next second, the door of the cleansing room was pushed open from the outside, and Hai Dafu, wearing a purple eunuch uniform, strode in: "Leave the chicken under the knife, don't castrate it yet."
