It rained a few times in October, and the maple leaves in Fengshan became red. When driving the elephant in the early morning, Shen Zechuan had already seen a thin frost. However, Emperor Xiande's illness improved with the autumn mood. He heard that he had resumed his meals, and his coughing was much less.
According to convention, the holy car cannot go to the Nanlin hunting ground until November, but Emperor Xiande seemed to be worried that the cold weather would be difficult, so he set up preparations for autumn hunting in early October.
"The eight major battalions and the Jinyiwei are still responsible for the important tasks of patrolling." Chen Yang held a knife for Xiao Chiye and said, "Governor, wasn't the emperor angry last time?"
"The last time was the last time." Xiao Chiye just came down from the school grounds, wiping off his thin sweat, "The last time the emperor was angry, he felt that there were safety concerns inside and outside. But this time is different, Xi Gu'an was rejected by the queen mother, cold After two months, I am trying my best to make a name for myself."
"Xiao En Xiaohui, can you make Xi Gu'an's heart?" Chen Yang looked at no one beside him, and said, "After all, the queen mother has accumulated power for a long time, and the emperor is in a state of ill health, and now he is willing to give Xi Gu'an a branch. , Xi Gu'an wouldn't dare to accept it."
"You also said it was Xiaoen Xiaohui." Xiao Chiye pulled up his jacket and put it on, "What if the emperor gave Xi Gu'an monstrous authority? A few days ago, the emperor also asked the age of the Xi family's daughter, the King of Chu. And there is no right concubine, if it really means marriage, Xi Gu'an just doesn't mean that, and it's not clear to the queen mother."
Chen Yang said, "It's a pity we don't have a young lady."
"It's better if it's gone." Xiao Chiye said, "If you really have a sister, it must be someone like Qi Dashuai, otherwise you can't help yourself, and most likely you have to marry a husband you haven't seen before."
When he said this, he slowed down.
"The Hua family has always been the first choice of the palace concubine. Hua Xiangyi, who is kept under the Queen Mother's knees, has not pointed it out at this age. Even the Emperor did not dare to offend her, so she could only call out her sister. Whom she wants to give to her in the future, she still has to listen to the Queen Mother's arrangement. ."
Chen Yang added: "Fortunately, our heirloom is already married... But who can this third Miss Hua give it to? Governor, I really can't see it at all."
"The Qi family is the best candidate." Xiao Chiye smiled, "If Qi Zhuyin was a man, the queen mother would have promised the flower three times. Unfortunately, Qi Zhuyin is a daughter, and there is no man in the direct line of the Hua family. I can only see that this piece of fat can't move my chopsticks, and I feel anxious."
The horse was brought over, and Xiao Chiye touched the horse.
"Go, go to Dongshi on Donglong Street again."
Shen Zechuan entered Donglong Street.
He was released from the foot ban, and naturally he could no longer stay at Zhaosin Temple, because no one mentioned it at first, so this matter was put on hold. But in August, Qiao Tianya suddenly became interested and went with him to Zhaosin Temple. Seeing that Master Qi was covered in mud and crazy, he asked Shen Zechuan to open an account in Jinyiwei in advance and find a decent place to live. So he moved to an old alley at the end of September, and the rent was cheap, which was suitable for his current status.
"What kind of person is the person that Master asked me to find?" Shen Zechuan took Zhang's deed, and looked at the word "Songyue", the place of origin on it was also blank.
Ge Qingqing looked around in the crowd and said, "Uncle didn't mention it, he just said that the husband also agreed, and this person will take care of your daily life in the future."
After Shen Zechuan moved out of Zhaosin Temple, it was inconvenient to communicate with Mrs. Qi. He refused to keep pigeons, one was that it was too easy to show off, and the other was that Xiao Chiye's Costin was too fierce, which impressed him deeply. Now, we can only meet with Ji Gang by going out as a handyman for procurement.
"It should be in Dongshi." Shen Zechuan said to Ge Qingqing, "Go and have a look."
Donglong Street, facing the Kailing River, is the place of fireworks. In the east, there is a trading market, and most of them are "people and goods". They also choose to kneel here when they sell their bodies and bury their fathers, because the common servants and maids come here.
Xiao Chiye had a copy of the roster in the Chu palace in his hand, and wanted to come here to find out the origin of a few of them.
He crossed his teeth and took a few steps when he saw a familiar back of his neck.
Chen Yang said, "That's not..."
Xiao Chiye raised his hand, Chen Yang was silent.
Shen Zechuan accepted the contract, and felt a chill on the back of his neck. He looked back and saw that Xiao Chiye was already leaning behind.
"My lord." Shen Zechuan said, "Why are you standing behind?"
"Look at you." Xiao Chiye stuffed the roster and walked leisurely to Shen Zechuan's side, "Are you here to buy servants?"
Shen Zechuan said like a joke: "If I sell myself, how can I afford people?"
"It's all down to this point." Xiao Chiye looked at him, "Didn't I hear that there are more people looking for you at high prices?"
"It's about relationships." Shen Zechuan continued walking, "You have to close your eyes to see if you want to pick it up."
Xiao Chiye knew who they were, and said, "It's not easy to pick a crooked melon and a cracked date."
"Not as good as Second Young Master." Shen Zechuan glanced at him, "Following the King of Chu, I didn't eat less meat."
Xiao Chiye said, "Envy? Find me."
Shen Zechuan also laughed and said, "It's not that far yet."
The two of them were almost over, Shen Zechuan turned sideways and said, "Then I won't bother to ask Second Young Master to accompany me and go back."
"Don't worry." Xiao Chiye stood still, "This autumn hunting, we have to take care of each other."
"Jin Yiwei and the Imperial Army are not the same." Shen Zechuan looked at him, "What can I take care of?"
Xiao Chiye said, "So far away, I often walk around with you, and we can all be together."
Shen Zechuan didn't answer, and Xiao Chiye was still where he was after he left.
"Who did he come here to look for?" Xiao Chiye rubbed the hilt of the knife with his thumb, "Ge Qingqing... Sure enough, it's Ge Qingqing. Chen Yang."
"exist!"
"Go check it out." Xiao Chiye said, "Check the eighteenth generation of Ge Qingqing's ancestors."
Shen Zechuan was disturbed by Xiao Chiye to find someone, and he was on duty in a row, and he was never free. On the eve of the autumn hunting, it was finally his turn to go to the Nanlin hunting ground.
One day Shen Zechuan came home from a business trip, and before he opened the door, he knew someone was there.
Fengquan was covered with a cloak, drinking tea with his fingers crossed, and said across the door, "Aren't you coming in?"
Shen Zechuan pushed open the door, there was no lamp in the house, Feng Quan's snow-white face sank in the darkness, like a lonely ghost.
He put down the tea and said, "Our family is here to deliver the message for the Queen Mother and her old man."
Shen Zechuan threw the dirty robe in his hand onto the small hanger and said, "Excuse me."
"Yeah." Feng Quan looked at Shen Zechuan grimly, and threw one thing away, "If it's not an important matter, why do I need to come here in person? You have received the Queen Mother's favor so many times, and now it's time to repay one by one. This autumn hunting, if things don’t work out, you won’t either.”
Shen Zechuan took something, which was an oriental pearl wrapped in cloth. He wiped it with his fingertips, and there were half-character ink marks on the cloth strip, it was Lin.
Chu.
Shen Zechuan's gaze returned to Fengquan's face.
Feng Quan got up, walked towards Shen Zechuan, and said, "If you do it, the queen mother can still treat you like a dog and keep you alive. But if you don't do it, it's meaningless to keep you."
"Masters are like forests." Shen Zechuan said, "I try my best."
Fengquan's eyes stabbed for a while, and he laughed mockingly. He stepped out the door, shook off his cloak, and blended into the night.
Shen Zechuan lit the lamp, stood by the table and burned the cloth strip.
The tongue of fire licked, and the word Lin turned to ashes.
The Nanlin Hunting Ground is located in the southeast of Qidu, with a very wide area. Half of the ingredients of the Sunlight Temple are taken from here. Half of the eight battalions were mobilized, and they followed the holy car in a mighty manner.
Shen Zechuan drove the elephant, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves like thunder, he didn't need to look back, he knew whose horse was. Sure enough, the next moment, Hai Dongqing jumped straight over his head, dragged a wild mouse from the grass, and took to the sky again.
Xiao Chiye and Li Jianheng, together with a group of gangsters, rode their horses past and hurried forward in a chaotic manner. The black horse with a snow-white chest under his seat was really eye-catching.
Xiao Wu raised his head and said enviously, "These eagles and horses from Governor Xiao are very precious!"
Shen Zechuan said, "It's all wild animals."
Xiao Wu was young and couldn't stand loneliness, so he had to talk to Shen Zechuan all the time. He sat on the horse, ate dried sweet potatoes, and said in a Huaizhou accent, "Brother Chuan, do you know what the horse and eagle are called?"
Shen Zechuan smiled and said, "Yeah... just those few words."
Xiao Wu stretched out his body with a rich expression and said, "That eagle is called fierce! Do you sound fierce? That horse is not fierce, it is called Lang Tao Xue Lai!"
He bit every word hard, sounded childish, and amused a lot of adults.
Li Jianheng gasped, turned to meet him, and said to Xiao Chiye, "Oh, I saw him once and thought about it once, why didn't he give birth to a daughter!"
Xiao Chiye looked around the horse and looked at Li Jianheng.
Li Jianheng hurriedly said, "I know I know, I didn't lose my head to that point!"
"We'll be there in a while." Xiao Chiye said, "You have to tell me when you go out, don't leave the guards around at night, and none of the women you bring can be included in the account."
"I didn't bring a woman." Li Jianheng bluffed.
Xiao Chiye smiled at him, unspeakably evil.
Chen Yang chased after him on a horse and said, "The Governor, all those women have been sent back."
Li Jianheng bit the tip of his tongue unpleasantly, and after a while, he said, "Ce'an, if you say something to dig your heart out, no one will sleep. What's the point of those autumn hunters?"
"It's more interesting." Xiao Chiye said, "It's more interesting to bask in the sun than your tent."
Li Jianheng sighed for a long time, and without the spirit of the journey, he continued to walk in a dejected manner.
It was nearly dark by then.
Shen Zechuan wasn't the bad guy the day before, so he stayed behind to do chores. Qiao Tianya also came and greeted the Jinyi guards to eat meat.
When he saw the bowl in Shen Zechuan's hand, he suddenly said, "You can drink enough."
Shen Zechuan said, "One bowl."
Qiao Tianya didn't break it either, this person didn't look like a junkie, but more like a junkie. He rubbed the barbecue with a dagger and said, "When I come to the hunting ground, I will eat it hard! Only once a year, I eat all the things that are usually used in the palace. After this village, there is no such shop."
He chewed the meat and said.
"I still need to bring a knife when I'm on duty. When it comes to you tomorrow night, you will use Qingqing's. Why don't you bring it? Didn't the elephant taming teach you both hands?"
"The knife is too heavy." Shen Zechuan said, looking like he couldn't lift it with his hands, "I can't bear to carry it with me."
"You're a bastard." Qiao Tianya said, "Wouldn't it be Xiao Er who kicked him? It's a pity, he's a first-class bastard, and he can't be corrupted. Otherwise, with that kick, my brother can knock him too. Bankruptcy.”
The surrounding Jin Yiwei laughed.
Shen Zechuan moved the corners of his lips, and with the action of sipping his wine, his eyes quickly looked around along the edge of the bowl.
All the knives are inseparable.
Besides him, who else came to kill the King of Chu? In addition to those here, how many cold-eyed killers are hidden in the invisible shadows? Even if Xiao Chiye is a genius in the sky, under this siege, how much chance does he have to keep the King of Chu
Across a few tents, Xiao Chiye and Li Jianheng were still drinking and playing dice with people.
