Wang Rujiao was quick-witted and very eloquent, so although she didn't see this with her own eyes, the narrative was vivid and vividly expressed the tragic, bloody and horror of the time. So that Xiaobi, who was driving beside her, exclaimed from time to time, and showed a slight fear on her face. Instead, she herself did not have a look of fear, but instead showed a yearning expression, as if she was regretting that she had not witnessed the tragic battle with her own eyes.
Nangong Xiuqi knew that the cruel and vicious female devil must be the ghost mother of Mingshan. When he thought of this woman, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, because she had already put a magic talisman on her. She could easily know where she was. Now she quietly returned to Jing'an City and could hide it from others, but she couldn't hide it from her. Maybe she would appear in front of her at any time. Although she is no longer the same as before, and both magic and martial arts have been improved, facing her, Nangong Xiuqi still has no confidence in winning, and she can't help but feel panic.
Princess Baoyue broke through the siege and went to rescue soldiers. This little girl did have a few tricks. Originally, Jing'an City changed and the emperor was trapped. Although the local army inevitably had a army to support the king, they were more of watching on the spot and watching from the wall.
So when the Nangong family rebelled and surrounded the emperor in the imperial city, although several forces of the king came from time to time, they were not big and did not pose much threat to the rebels. However, when Princess Baoyue broke through, most local troops were actually surrendered to her. Nangong Xiuqi also had a personal feeling about this. When she was in Guichou City, she could have had tens of thousands of soldiers, but this little girl inexplicably seized the military power.
As a result, the situation changed a lot, and the absolute advantage maintained by the rebels was broken. The large number of royal guards led by Princess Baoyue came to Jing'an City, which not only relieved the crisis in the imperial city, but also drove the rebellious Nangong family army out of Jing'an City. However, it did not gain an absolute advantage and eliminate the rebels of the Nangong family. The two forces won and lost each other, and the entire Huatang fell into a civil war.
The deadlock was broken when Nangong Lingkong led his army back. At that time, almost everyone thought that Huatang would change its dynasty. After all, the army led by Nangong Lingkong was the most powerful and was the absolute main force of Huatang. Moreover, no one would believe that the Nangong family's rebellion had nothing to do with Nangong Lingkong, so his return would definitely make the Nangong family army win.
However, what is surprising is that Nangong Lingkong led his army back to help the emperor quell the civil strife. He soon defeated the rebels of the Nangong family and captured his second and third brothers alive. Only his second son, Nangong Xiuzhi, escaped, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Although Nangong Xiuqi didn't like his rebellious second and third uncles, he didn't really want them to lose. So when he heard that his father actually helped the dog emperor deal with the people in his family, he felt quite uncomfortable and said to himself: Dad Ah!Why do you have to do this?
Wang Rujiao was also very puzzled when she said this, and then said unfairly: Unfortunately, the Marquis is loyal and the emperor still wants to kill him. It is so heartbreaking!
Nangong Xiuqi squeaked his fists and gritted his teeth and said: This dog emperor, as the saying goes, there are injustices and debts, what does it have to do with my father's rebellion?What's more, my father also made contributions to quelling the rebellion.
Wang Rujiao shook her head and said: According to Huatang Law, the crime of rebellion is from the nine tribes of Yi, so...
Sister Jiao, what do you mean?Nangong Xiuqi rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.
Wang Rujiao smiled slightly and said: I don’t mean that the marquis should be punished with the rebels, and the emperor’s actions are nothing incompatible with the law, but it is a bit unpopular.
By the way, Sister Jiao, do you know where my father is locked up?
Of course it's the heavenly prison.Wang Rujiao said casually.
But then she realized what Nangong Xiuqi said and said in surprise: You don’t want to rob the prison, right?
No?
Of course not, do you know where the Heavenly Prison is?Just relying on your own strength is tantamount to going to die.Wang Rujiao cuts the railway decisively.
After hearing this, Nan Xiuqi said in a rough manner: Why are you so sure?You have seen my skills just now!With a light palm, the two of them sent to the West.
It’s Ah or Ah, Young Master Nangong is so amazing!
Xiaobi hurriedly said: Miss, you didn’t see it just now. When the young master just stretched out his hand, the boss was knocked out of the ground. It was so strong!
Talk too much!Concentrate on driving your car.Wang Rujiao scolded.
Xiaobi stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything anymore. At this time, Wang Rujiao turned her head and smiled at Nangong Xiuqi Yanran and said: I know you are no longer the young master who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun before. You have great skills, but the Heavenly Prison is not an ordinary place. You can make a big fuss in the palace, but the Heavenly Prison cannot make a fuss.
Nangong Xiuqi was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: Sister Jiao, how did you know that I had made a big fuss in the palace?
Wang Rujiao gave him a resentful look and said, "If I didn't know, then I still thought you were no longer alive. You were so good at pretending to be dead and deceive everyone. It would be fine if you hide it from others, but even I was hiding it, which made me... Speaking of this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and a crystal clear look seemed to be coming out of her eyes.
Nangong Xiuqi didn't expect Wang Rujiao to care about her so much. She was secretly happy and moved, so she couldn't help but reach out and gently put her shoulder on her and comforted her: Sister Jiao, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but the situation at that time is indeed...
As he was talking, Wang Rujiao's soft lip pressed his lips and said softly: No need to explain, I understand, so I didn't blame you.In fact, not only I know, but most of the civil and military officials in the court know it.
Nangong Xiuqi was slightly stunned and understood. Needless to say, the news that she was not dead must have been released by Princess Baoyue. As expected, Wang Rujiao said: Since Princess Baoyue controlled Jing'an City, the first order she gave was to arrest you with all her strength. Everyone was wondering at that time, why would she arrest you if everyone died?Who knew that she said you were not dead, not only did you not die, but you were the masked thief who made a big fuss in the palace several times before.After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Nangong Xiuqi, reached out to stroke his face, and murmured: Brother Qi, do you know?How happy I was when I knew you were still alive?
Nangong Xiuqi felt a fever in his heart, and he couldn't help but hug Wang Rujiao even tighter. She didn't struggle, leaned her head softly against his chest and continued: So I can't let you take risks anymore. Now the Tianzhuo is like a big woven net, waiting for you to drill in.
But…
Nangong Xiuqi knew that Wang Rujiao's words made sense, but he couldn't watch his father's life hanging indifferently!
Wang Rujiao knew his thoughts and then said: Of course, the Marquis will be saved, but we cannot blindly rely on the power of bravery to save him. We have to think of a complete plan. But what we need to do now is to place your sister-in-law and the others first.
Nangong Xiuqi nodded and said yes. In front of Wang Rujiao, he felt like a little brother who knew nothing. He couldn't help but feel dependent on her, so he said: Well, Sister Jiao, I'll listen to you.Oh, by the way, what's going on today?
Upon hearing this, Wang Rujiao's eyes lit up, she hurriedly broke away from Nangong Xiuqi's arms, and said excitedly: Brother Qi, today is really the most exciting day in my life. It's so fun, hehe...
Xiaobi pouted and said: What's still fun?How dangerous today!Miss, don’t ask me to do such things in the future.
OK, tomorrow I will ask my dad to find a good family to marry you, and I will find another girl to do it.Wang Rujiao smiled with her eyes squinted.
Don't Ah!Miss, I am just listening to you.
Xiaobi shouted anxiously, and her little face turned red with shame.
Wang Rujiao smiled and said with a stern face: Then don’t complain, drive your car properly.
Don’t let others complain about doing such a dangerous thing, really!Xiao Biwu muttered in a low voice.
At this time, Wang Rujiao turned around, carefully lifted the curtain and looked at Liu Fengzi and Ding Long inside, then shook her head and sighed: Alas, Brother Qi, it’s a pity that Sister Jiao has limited abilities, I can only rescue the two of them, the rest... Alas!
It turned out that after Nangong Lingkong got out of prison, the emperor ordered all the people of the Nangong family to be taken down with an imperial edict. The man was directly jailed and waited for execution, while the woman was sent to serve as an official slave. When Wang Rujiao learned the news, she wanted to help the people of the Nangong family. However, the men of the Nangong family were all locked in the prison, and it was basically impossible to save them, so she turned her target to the female relatives of the Nangong family. The first thing she thought of was to beg her father to ask a group of female relatives of the Nangong family to her own family. In this way, she was here to be a slave and a maid secretly. She secretly wanted to contain them and wait for the right time before letting them go. However, her father rejected her request and said that doing so was tantamount to burning the body, so she refused.
There was no choice but to find a way for Wang Rujiao. After some inquiries, she learned that the female relatives of the Nangong family were all detained in the Ministry of Justice, waiting for the assignment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After a lot of trouble, she finally found out that Liu Fengzi and her maid Ding Long would be taken to the border military camp to act as military prostitutes on this day. She couldn't help but be anxious because she knew that once she was taken, they would never see the light of day in their lives.
Wang Rujiao knew that it was difficult to rescue them from the Ministry of Justice's prison, and she had the opportunity to rescue them only on the way to be taken. However, according to convention, there were usually a small team of officers and soldiers, that is, about ten people. Wang Rujiao, a weak woman with no power to tie up a chicken, wanted to steal people from more than ten fully armed officers and soldiers, so she thought of finding a helping hand.
The first thing that comes to mind is this black master.
Few people in Jing'an City don't know the name of Hei Ye. It is said that this person was originally a coach of the Imperial Army. He has very strong martial arts skills, but he is unruly and does not adhere to etiquette. Therefore, he repeatedly violated military discipline and offended many superiors, so he was delayed in getting promotion and was even excluded.
So he left the barracks in anger and ran to Yunshan, which was fifty miles away from Jing'an City, and became a bandit.
As the name suggests, this mountain is that the top of this mountain is covered by clouds and mist all year round. This shows how high the mountain is, and the forest is dense and the ravine is deep, so bandits often appear.
However, because they are close to the emperor's feet, the size of the bandits is not large, they are all in a team of several people and cannot cause big storms, so the government turned a blind eye.
However, when Hei Ye fell into power, in just a few years, the bandits he led rapidly expanded, with a population of hundreds of people. Compared with other bandits who can be said to be a mob, his team quality is almost comparable to that of regular troops.
However, Mr. Hei knew very well that he would not allow others to sleep soundly. In order not to recruit officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, he acted quite low-key, not stopping pedestrians or robbing families, but helped others settle difficult things and do things to use money to eliminate disasters for others.
There are many wealthy businessmen in Jing'an City, who doesn't have one or two troublesome things?So Hei Ye doesn't have to worry about the source of customers at all.
Because he is very skilled in martial arts and has many capable people, he basically has nothing to do with it. In addition, he emphasizes credibility and does not disclose the information and privacy of customers, and his fame is becoming more and more famous. Of course, this kind of fame is only spread in the circle of rich people such as high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people cannot afford to invite them.
Although Wang Rujiao lived in the deep boudoir for a long time, she also learned about the figure Hei Ye from others to the point of knowing him, so she sent Xiaobi to contact him and asked him to rob him on the way to escort Liu Fengzi and the others to the border camp. Hei Ye agreed.
Of course, if this were the case in the past, he would not dare to take this life because he did not want to have a head-on conflict with the government to avoid being surrounded by officers and soldiers. But now it is different from the past. After suffering from civil strife in Jing'an City, the vitality was severely damaged, and the government had no time to take care of them, so Hei Ye became much more courageous.
As it turned out, he was indeed very relaxed and completed the life without any danger.
After hearing Wang Rujiao's rescue process, Nangong Xiuqi said gratefully: Sister Jiao, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, her sister-in-law would have been in danger.
Wang Rujiao smiled sweetly, and said shyly: Fool, why do you and me say thank you!
Oh, it's so stingy!
Xiaobi, who was driving on the side, made a trembling move and laughed in her heart.
After driving about a cup of tea, the few people returned to Jing'an City. At this time, the sky was already dark. The wine shops along the street were carrying lamps and candles, and big red lanterns were hanging high, reflecting the streets as bright as daytime, and the light was blew all over the ground.
There is no decrease in pedestrians on the street compared to the daytime, but there are more. However, relatively speaking, there are fewer women on the street, and more men who come out to sleep in the willows and have fun. As night falls, brothels that are closed in the doors will open one after another during the day. Those women who are heavily made-up waving green ivy and red squids, or the graceful figures of snuggling on the floors, all add a touch of bright color to this bustling night market.
At this time, the carriage drove through one intersection and entered another street. Nangong Xiuqi was extremely familiar with this street because it was a concentrated place of Huajie and Liuxiang. The five-mile-long street was covered with hundreds of brothels, big and small. Among them, he used to go to the most and was the premier brothel in Jing'an City. It is here.
Hey, why did you come here?Where are we going?Didn't you go to your mansion?Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but ask in confusion as he saw that this was not the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It's back to my house!
But this is not the road to the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
well!
Wang Rujiao sighed lightly and shook her head and said: Now my father is no longer the prime minister.
It turned out that when Emperor Li Xuan escaped from the imperial city and regained power, he liquidated all the civil officials and ministers in the court. He naturally killed the ministers who had shown goodwill and defected to the Nangong family, and gave his family generous pensions to those ministers who were brutally killed by the Nangong family.
Given Wang Bolun's performance at that time, with Li Xuan's original intention, he wanted to destroy his entire clan, but because of the turmoil now, it would be a bit unreasonable to destroy his entire clan just because Wang Bolun maintains a neutral attitude. In order to win the support of the people and avoid tyrannical excuses, Li Xuan only waived Wang Bolun's position as prime minister to show punishment.
Wang Bolun had long expected such a result. As prime minister for so many years, he had a good understanding of Li Xuan's temperament. He knew that the emperor actually wanted to kill him in his heart, but due to some external reasons, he had only waived his position as prime minister. He also knew that once the situation stabilized, Li Xuan would definitely settle the score with him.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Bolun was not worried about losing his official position. He immediately moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and bought another mansion to live in. Of course, this was just a temporary solution. Although Jing'an City was large, it was easy for Li Xuan to find them, so he had secretly sent people to find another secret place.
Of course, Wang Rujiao didn't know all this. She just said that her father had left the officialdom and was far away from the struggle for power, so she left the place of right and wrong. That's why she dared to bring Liu Fengzi and the others home. She thought that even if her father disagreed, she would at most secretly scold her, and would no longer have the idea that she dared not have any connection with the Nangong family because of her identity as the prime minister.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, but the fireworks and willow alleys are getting more and more lively.
The streets where three carriages can be side by side seemed increasingly crowded, so that Xiaobi had to slow down and pass through the crowd carefully.
The street is crowded with people, but almost all of them are men, and the women are standing on both sides of the street. It is obvious that almost all men come here to find flowers and ask about the willows, while the women are brothel prostitutes who show off their charm.
In this way, Wang Rujiao and Xiaobi, who were sitting in front of the carriage, looked very abnormal, especially they were both pretty people, especially Wang Rujiao. Her beautiful and peerless appearance made every man who saw her stunned for a moment, as if he was temporarily stopped.
Oh, Miss, look at these people, I hate Ah so much!
Xiaobi muttered dissatisfiedly, only regretting that the horse could not run up.
Wang Rujiao seemed much more generous than Xiaobi. She said indifferently: What are you afraid of?If they want to see it, they will show it to them. It won’t affect our rush anyway. Do you think it’s, Brother Qi?
Ah?Oh, yeah...
Nangong Xiuqi subconsciously responded, but he became more and more confused. In fact, from the moment he saw Wang Rujiao, he felt that she was different from before. As the contact deepened, he found that Wang Rujiao seemed to have completely changed. She was no longer the gentle and intellectual lady of the family, but like a little witch who had just come out of the world and had a perverse behavior.
Hi... Look at you, you are absent-minded, are you afraid of meeting the old lover here?Wang Rujiao smiled and joked.
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but I reminded Nangong Xiuqi that when I was in Jing'an City, he could be said to have come to this place in Huajie and Lane every day. Most of the old turtle slaves in brothels here knew him. Now he is sitting here with such a big and spicy thorny thorny. If they recognize him, it would be a little troublesome. Thinking of this, his face changed slightly.
Wang Rujiao was just making a joke casually, but she saw Nangong Xiuqi's face change slightly. Bingxue was smart and understood the interests after thinking for a moment. So before Nangong Xiuqi could speak, she lifted the curtain behind her a small corner and said hurriedly: Brother Qi, go in and avoid it first.
Although he knew that it was quite dangerous now, Hong Nangong Xiuqi was reluctant to show weakness in front of a delicate woman. He pretended to be indifferent and said: What are you afraid of?If the girl Baoyue wanted to catch me, she would let her come over, but it depends on whether she had the ability.
Don’t be willful, hurry up, what’s important now is that your sister-in-law and the others are still seriously injured. Do you want to kill them?Wang Rujiao scolded her like an older sister.
Then, that's OK.
After she said this, Nangong Xiuqi couldn't continue to pretend. He bowed his waist and squeezed into the narrow carriage again.
The carriage continued to drive slowly. Nangong Xiuqi was sitting in the dark carriage, but there was noisy outside. He was quite bored and felt upset. Originally, he thought that meeting Wang Rujiao would definitely be of great help to rescue his father. After all, her father Wang Bolun is a dignified prime minister, but unexpectedly, her father had been removed from the position of prime minister. Now he is also an ordinary person. It seems that he can't help him.
Nangong Xiuqi leaned against the wall of the car in frustration and sighed softly. However, when he saw Liu Fengzi still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help feeling a little better, and he thought to himself: Fortunately, he didn't find anything. Finding his sister-in-law can be considered a bit of worries in my heart.
Just as he was worried and happy, he suddenly heard a scream from outside, which was Xiaobi's voice. Then he heard her say in panic and angry: What are you doing?Shameless, vulgar...
Needless to say, Xiao Bi must have been teased by a wanderer on the roadside. Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He thought that he often teased beautiful women on the road at the time, and the teased woman also screamed and scolded like this.
Nangong Xiuqi was not in a hurry to go out. He quietly lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at it. As he expected, he saw a white-faced young man wearing a brocade shirt and a jade crown blocking their way. The man grabbed the reins with one hand and pretended to be elegant in the other hand, and laughed: Girl, don’t pretend, which girl is the girl from which building are you?I'll support you now, my son, I have money.
Although the white-faced young man was talking to Xiaobi, his thief eyes were staring at Wang Rujiao beside her. His malicious eyes scanned from her face to her body, and then returned from her body to her face, coming and going, tireless.
Obviously, this white-faced young man treated Wang Rujiao and the others as brothel girls here. In fact, this is no wonder. After all, this street is a place where flowers and willows gather. Ordinary women from good families, especially at night, will not pass here.
However, even if it was a brothel woman, the white-faced young man dared not be too presumptuous, because he could judge that Wang Rujiao's face, which was so beautiful that she was not comparable to ordinary brothel women. If this woman had an affair with a certain prince and noble family, he would not dare to touch the woman easily. So although he was drooling at Wang Rujiao, he still teased Xiaobi beside her first to test it.
Xiaobi's pretty face flushed and she scolded in shame and anger: Be presumptuous!Do you know who we are?How dare you be so rude?
Although Xiaobi is just a little maid, she has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official of the Prime Minister's family slave. The momentum he exudes in his every move is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary maids. Therefore, the white-faced young man was shocked by her and stared at them in a daze, looking at them both at a moment.
The people around him suddenly burst into laughter. These tourists were also fascinated by Wang Rujiao's beauty, but because they were as concerned about the White-Faced Young Master, these people did not dare to tease him easily. Later, they saw the White-Faced Young Master bravely coming forward to tease the beauty. They were all envious and jealous, and they didn't want the White-Faced Young Master to monopolize the courtesan. They wanted to see him hit a tough guy. Now that they saw him, they were really disappointed and laughed gloating.
The white-faced young master suddenly felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He wanted to have an attack but did not dare to have an attack. After a long time, he put away the paper fan and pointed at Xiao Bi and said with a tough look: OK, okay, little bitch, you, you are waiting...
While speaking, he pushed away the onlookers and left in a hurry.
The onlookers let out another sneer, and at the same time they understood that the beauty on the carriage had a history, so they no longer dared to follow and stare at it unscrupulously like before, and gradually they dispersed.
Hehe, it's so fun!Wang Rujiao covered her mouth and said with a giggle.
Xiaobi pouted aggrievedly and said: Is it still fun?Miss, you didn’t see the man scolding me just now, and you didn’t say a few words to me.
OK OK OK!
Wang Rujiao smiled and pinched Xiaobi's pouting corners and said: I will remember you a merit and I will guarantee you a good man in the future.
Oh, Miss, you are here again, Ignore you.Xiaobi waved the whip with red face.
After finally passing through this crowded street, it turned into an alley. It became much cleaner and the light became much darker. Nangong Xiuqi got out of the carriage and sat back next to Wang Rujiao.
Hehe, Brother Qi, did you go up to tease me like the person just now, just when you saw a beautiful girl on the street?
Ah…No, no Ah…How could it be…Nanggong Xiuqi denied it quite embarrassingly.
Wang Rujiao smiled and heard Xiaobi say: Miss, you are home.
Nangong Xiuqi quickly jumped out of the car and looked around. It was relatively remote and difficult to find people, but it was very clean and neat. There were stone slabs under his feet, and even dead leaves were not seen. A dark yellow wall that was more than one person high and was standing in front of them. It can be seen that this was the backyard of a wealthy family. The wall was not very high. An old locust tree stretched out from the top of the wall. The sound of dog barking came from time to time in the distance, highlighting the quietness and tranquility here.
After walking a few more steps forward, there was a circular arch. Xiaobi tiptoed over and opened the door and walked in. After a while, she ran out and said excitedly: Fortunately, the master and the wife and the others have all gone to bed.
Yeah?Very good!
Wang Rujiao waved her hand excitedly and said: Hurry, let’s drive the carriage in first.
After quietly driving the carriage into the yard, Wang Rujiao asked Nangong Xiuqi to carry Liu Fengzi and Ding Long out, and then said to Xiaobi: You should first drive the carriage into the carport, and then take some gold-chuang medicine and some food to the dark room. Be careful not to let others see it.
Xiaobi took the order and left. At this time, Wang Rujiao said to Nangong Xiuqi: Brother Qi, come with me.
At this time, Liu Fengzi had already woken up. Wang Rujiao helped her walk in front, while Nangong Xiuqi followed behind with Ding Long. They walked one after another through a small bamboo forest, and walked around a pond for about dozens of steps. A piece of weeds and vines and banana leaves intertwined like a green barrier, appearing in front of them, blocking their way.
Nangong Xiuqi knew that the cruel and vicious female devil must be the ghost mother of Mingshan. When he thought of this woman, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, because she had already put a magic talisman on her. She could easily know where she was. Now she quietly returned to Jing'an City and could hide it from others, but she couldn't hide it from her. Maybe she would appear in front of her at any time. Although she is no longer the same as before, and both magic and martial arts have been improved, facing her, Nangong Xiuqi still has no confidence in winning, and she can't help but feel panic.
Princess Baoyue broke through the siege and went to rescue soldiers. This little girl did have a few tricks. Originally, Jing'an City changed and the emperor was trapped. Although the local army inevitably had a army to support the king, they were more of watching on the spot and watching from the wall.
So when the Nangong family rebelled and surrounded the emperor in the imperial city, although several forces of the king came from time to time, they were not big and did not pose much threat to the rebels. However, when Princess Baoyue broke through, most local troops were actually surrendered to her. Nangong Xiuqi also had a personal feeling about this. When she was in Guichou City, she could have had tens of thousands of soldiers, but this little girl inexplicably seized the military power.
As a result, the situation changed a lot, and the absolute advantage maintained by the rebels was broken. The large number of royal guards led by Princess Baoyue came to Jing'an City, which not only relieved the crisis in the imperial city, but also drove the rebellious Nangong family army out of Jing'an City. However, it did not gain an absolute advantage and eliminate the rebels of the Nangong family. The two forces won and lost each other, and the entire Huatang fell into a civil war.
The deadlock was broken when Nangong Lingkong led his army back. At that time, almost everyone thought that Huatang would change its dynasty. After all, the army led by Nangong Lingkong was the most powerful and was the absolute main force of Huatang. Moreover, no one would believe that the Nangong family's rebellion had nothing to do with Nangong Lingkong, so his return would definitely make the Nangong family army win.
However, what is surprising is that Nangong Lingkong led his army back to help the emperor quell the civil strife. He soon defeated the rebels of the Nangong family and captured his second and third brothers alive. Only his second son, Nangong Xiuzhi, escaped, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Although Nangong Xiuqi didn't like his rebellious second and third uncles, he didn't really want them to lose. So when he heard that his father actually helped the dog emperor deal with the people in his family, he felt quite uncomfortable and said to himself: Dad Ah!Why do you have to do this?
Wang Rujiao was also very puzzled when she said this, and then said unfairly: Unfortunately, the Marquis is loyal and the emperor still wants to kill him. It is so heartbreaking!
Nangong Xiuqi squeaked his fists and gritted his teeth and said: This dog emperor, as the saying goes, there are injustices and debts, what does it have to do with my father's rebellion?What's more, my father also made contributions to quelling the rebellion.
Wang Rujiao shook her head and said: According to Huatang Law, the crime of rebellion is from the nine tribes of Yi, so...
Sister Jiao, what do you mean?Nangong Xiuqi rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.
Wang Rujiao smiled slightly and said: I don’t mean that the marquis should be punished with the rebels, and the emperor’s actions are nothing incompatible with the law, but it is a bit unpopular.
By the way, Sister Jiao, do you know where my father is locked up?
Of course it's the heavenly prison.Wang Rujiao said casually.
But then she realized what Nangong Xiuqi said and said in surprise: You don’t want to rob the prison, right?
No?
Of course not, do you know where the Heavenly Prison is?Just relying on your own strength is tantamount to going to die.Wang Rujiao cuts the railway decisively.
After hearing this, Nan Xiuqi said in a rough manner: Why are you so sure?You have seen my skills just now!With a light palm, the two of them sent to the West.
It’s Ah or Ah, Young Master Nangong is so amazing!
Xiaobi hurriedly said: Miss, you didn’t see it just now. When the young master just stretched out his hand, the boss was knocked out of the ground. It was so strong!
Talk too much!Concentrate on driving your car.Wang Rujiao scolded.
Xiaobi stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything anymore. At this time, Wang Rujiao turned her head and smiled at Nangong Xiuqi Yanran and said: I know you are no longer the young master who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun before. You have great skills, but the Heavenly Prison is not an ordinary place. You can make a big fuss in the palace, but the Heavenly Prison cannot make a fuss.
Nangong Xiuqi was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: Sister Jiao, how did you know that I had made a big fuss in the palace?
Wang Rujiao gave him a resentful look and said, "If I didn't know, then I still thought you were no longer alive. You were so good at pretending to be dead and deceive everyone. It would be fine if you hide it from others, but even I was hiding it, which made me... Speaking of this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and a crystal clear look seemed to be coming out of her eyes.
Nangong Xiuqi didn't expect Wang Rujiao to care about her so much. She was secretly happy and moved, so she couldn't help but reach out and gently put her shoulder on her and comforted her: Sister Jiao, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but the situation at that time is indeed...
As he was talking, Wang Rujiao's soft lip pressed his lips and said softly: No need to explain, I understand, so I didn't blame you.In fact, not only I know, but most of the civil and military officials in the court know it.
Nangong Xiuqi was slightly stunned and understood. Needless to say, the news that she was not dead must have been released by Princess Baoyue. As expected, Wang Rujiao said: Since Princess Baoyue controlled Jing'an City, the first order she gave was to arrest you with all her strength. Everyone was wondering at that time, why would she arrest you if everyone died?Who knew that she said you were not dead, not only did you not die, but you were the masked thief who made a big fuss in the palace several times before.After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Nangong Xiuqi, reached out to stroke his face, and murmured: Brother Qi, do you know?How happy I was when I knew you were still alive?
Nangong Xiuqi felt a fever in his heart, and he couldn't help but hug Wang Rujiao even tighter. She didn't struggle, leaned her head softly against his chest and continued: So I can't let you take risks anymore. Now the Tianzhuo is like a big woven net, waiting for you to drill in.
But…
Nangong Xiuqi knew that Wang Rujiao's words made sense, but he couldn't watch his father's life hanging indifferently!
Wang Rujiao knew his thoughts and then said: Of course, the Marquis will be saved, but we cannot blindly rely on the power of bravery to save him. We have to think of a complete plan. But what we need to do now is to place your sister-in-law and the others first.
Nangong Xiuqi nodded and said yes. In front of Wang Rujiao, he felt like a little brother who knew nothing. He couldn't help but feel dependent on her, so he said: Well, Sister Jiao, I'll listen to you.Oh, by the way, what's going on today?
Upon hearing this, Wang Rujiao's eyes lit up, she hurriedly broke away from Nangong Xiuqi's arms, and said excitedly: Brother Qi, today is really the most exciting day in my life. It's so fun, hehe...
Xiaobi pouted and said: What's still fun?How dangerous today!Miss, don’t ask me to do such things in the future.
OK, tomorrow I will ask my dad to find a good family to marry you, and I will find another girl to do it.Wang Rujiao smiled with her eyes squinted.
Don't Ah!Miss, I am just listening to you.
Xiaobi shouted anxiously, and her little face turned red with shame.
Wang Rujiao smiled and said with a stern face: Then don’t complain, drive your car properly.
Don’t let others complain about doing such a dangerous thing, really!Xiao Biwu muttered in a low voice.
At this time, Wang Rujiao turned around, carefully lifted the curtain and looked at Liu Fengzi and Ding Long inside, then shook her head and sighed: Alas, Brother Qi, it’s a pity that Sister Jiao has limited abilities, I can only rescue the two of them, the rest... Alas!
It turned out that after Nangong Lingkong got out of prison, the emperor ordered all the people of the Nangong family to be taken down with an imperial edict. The man was directly jailed and waited for execution, while the woman was sent to serve as an official slave. When Wang Rujiao learned the news, she wanted to help the people of the Nangong family. However, the men of the Nangong family were all locked in the prison, and it was basically impossible to save them, so she turned her target to the female relatives of the Nangong family. The first thing she thought of was to beg her father to ask a group of female relatives of the Nangong family to her own family. In this way, she was here to be a slave and a maid secretly. She secretly wanted to contain them and wait for the right time before letting them go. However, her father rejected her request and said that doing so was tantamount to burning the body, so she refused.
There was no choice but to find a way for Wang Rujiao. After some inquiries, she learned that the female relatives of the Nangong family were all detained in the Ministry of Justice, waiting for the assignment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After a lot of trouble, she finally found out that Liu Fengzi and her maid Ding Long would be taken to the border military camp to act as military prostitutes on this day. She couldn't help but be anxious because she knew that once she was taken, they would never see the light of day in their lives.
Wang Rujiao knew that it was difficult to rescue them from the Ministry of Justice's prison, and she had the opportunity to rescue them only on the way to be taken. However, according to convention, there were usually a small team of officers and soldiers, that is, about ten people. Wang Rujiao, a weak woman with no power to tie up a chicken, wanted to steal people from more than ten fully armed officers and soldiers, so she thought of finding a helping hand.
The first thing that comes to mind is this black master.
Few people in Jing'an City don't know the name of Hei Ye. It is said that this person was originally a coach of the Imperial Army. He has very strong martial arts skills, but he is unruly and does not adhere to etiquette. Therefore, he repeatedly violated military discipline and offended many superiors, so he was delayed in getting promotion and was even excluded.
So he left the barracks in anger and ran to Yunshan, which was fifty miles away from Jing'an City, and became a bandit.
As the name suggests, this mountain is that the top of this mountain is covered by clouds and mist all year round. This shows how high the mountain is, and the forest is dense and the ravine is deep, so bandits often appear.
However, because they are close to the emperor's feet, the size of the bandits is not large, they are all in a team of several people and cannot cause big storms, so the government turned a blind eye.
However, when Hei Ye fell into power, in just a few years, the bandits he led rapidly expanded, with a population of hundreds of people. Compared with other bandits who can be said to be a mob, his team quality is almost comparable to that of regular troops.
However, Mr. Hei knew very well that he would not allow others to sleep soundly. In order not to recruit officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, he acted quite low-key, not stopping pedestrians or robbing families, but helped others settle difficult things and do things to use money to eliminate disasters for others.
There are many wealthy businessmen in Jing'an City, who doesn't have one or two troublesome things?So Hei Ye doesn't have to worry about the source of customers at all.
Because he is very skilled in martial arts and has many capable people, he basically has nothing to do with it. In addition, he emphasizes credibility and does not disclose the information and privacy of customers, and his fame is becoming more and more famous. Of course, this kind of fame is only spread in the circle of rich people such as high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people cannot afford to invite them.
Although Wang Rujiao lived in the deep boudoir for a long time, she also learned about the figure Hei Ye from others to the point of knowing him, so she sent Xiaobi to contact him and asked him to rob him on the way to escort Liu Fengzi and the others to the border camp. Hei Ye agreed.
Of course, if this were the case in the past, he would not dare to take this life because he did not want to have a head-on conflict with the government to avoid being surrounded by officers and soldiers. But now it is different from the past. After suffering from civil strife in Jing'an City, the vitality was severely damaged, and the government had no time to take care of them, so Hei Ye became much more courageous.
As it turned out, he was indeed very relaxed and completed the life without any danger.
After hearing Wang Rujiao's rescue process, Nangong Xiuqi said gratefully: Sister Jiao, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, her sister-in-law would have been in danger.
Wang Rujiao smiled sweetly, and said shyly: Fool, why do you and me say thank you!
Oh, it's so stingy!
Xiaobi, who was driving on the side, made a trembling move and laughed in her heart.
After driving about a cup of tea, the few people returned to Jing'an City. At this time, the sky was already dark. The wine shops along the street were carrying lamps and candles, and big red lanterns were hanging high, reflecting the streets as bright as daytime, and the light was blew all over the ground.
There is no decrease in pedestrians on the street compared to the daytime, but there are more. However, relatively speaking, there are fewer women on the street, and more men who come out to sleep in the willows and have fun. As night falls, brothels that are closed in the doors will open one after another during the day. Those women who are heavily made-up waving green ivy and red squids, or the graceful figures of snuggling on the floors, all add a touch of bright color to this bustling night market.
At this time, the carriage drove through one intersection and entered another street. Nangong Xiuqi was extremely familiar with this street because it was a concentrated place of Huajie and Liuxiang. The five-mile-long street was covered with hundreds of brothels, big and small. Among them, he used to go to the most and was the premier brothel in Jing'an City. It is here.
Hey, why did you come here?Where are we going?Didn't you go to your mansion?Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but ask in confusion as he saw that this was not the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It's back to my house!
But this is not the road to the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
well!
Wang Rujiao sighed lightly and shook her head and said: Now my father is no longer the prime minister.
It turned out that when Emperor Li Xuan escaped from the imperial city and regained power, he liquidated all the civil officials and ministers in the court. He naturally killed the ministers who had shown goodwill and defected to the Nangong family, and gave his family generous pensions to those ministers who were brutally killed by the Nangong family.
Given Wang Bolun's performance at that time, with Li Xuan's original intention, he wanted to destroy his entire clan, but because of the turmoil now, it would be a bit unreasonable to destroy his entire clan just because Wang Bolun maintains a neutral attitude. In order to win the support of the people and avoid tyrannical excuses, Li Xuan only waived Wang Bolun's position as prime minister to show punishment.
Wang Bolun had long expected such a result. As prime minister for so many years, he had a good understanding of Li Xuan's temperament. He knew that the emperor actually wanted to kill him in his heart, but due to some external reasons, he had only waived his position as prime minister. He also knew that once the situation stabilized, Li Xuan would definitely settle the score with him.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Bolun was not worried about losing his official position. He immediately moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and bought another mansion to live in. Of course, this was just a temporary solution. Although Jing'an City was large, it was easy for Li Xuan to find them, so he had secretly sent people to find another secret place.
Of course, Wang Rujiao didn't know all this. She just said that her father had left the officialdom and was far away from the struggle for power, so she left the place of right and wrong. That's why she dared to bring Liu Fengzi and the others home. She thought that even if her father disagreed, she would at most secretly scold her, and would no longer have the idea that she dared not have any connection with the Nangong family because of her identity as the prime minister.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, but the fireworks and willow alleys are getting more and more lively.
The streets where three carriages can be side by side seemed increasingly crowded, so that Xiaobi had to slow down and pass through the crowd carefully.
The street is crowded with people, but almost all of them are men, and the women are standing on both sides of the street. It is obvious that almost all men come here to find flowers and ask about the willows, while the women are brothel prostitutes who show off their charm.
In this way, Wang Rujiao and Xiaobi, who were sitting in front of the carriage, looked very abnormal, especially they were both pretty people, especially Wang Rujiao. Her beautiful and peerless appearance made every man who saw her stunned for a moment, as if he was temporarily stopped.
Oh, Miss, look at these people, I hate Ah so much!
Xiaobi muttered dissatisfiedly, only regretting that the horse could not run up.
Wang Rujiao seemed much more generous than Xiaobi. She said indifferently: What are you afraid of?If they want to see it, they will show it to them. It won’t affect our rush anyway. Do you think it’s, Brother Qi?
Ah?Oh, yeah...
Nangong Xiuqi subconsciously responded, but he became more and more confused. In fact, from the moment he saw Wang Rujiao, he felt that she was different from before. As the contact deepened, he found that Wang Rujiao seemed to have completely changed. She was no longer the gentle and intellectual lady of the family, but like a little witch who had just come out of the world and had a perverse behavior.
Hi... Look at you, you are absent-minded, are you afraid of meeting the old lover here?Wang Rujiao smiled and joked.
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but I reminded Nangong Xiuqi that when I was in Jing'an City, he could be said to have come to this place in Huajie and Lane every day. Most of the old turtle slaves in brothels here knew him. Now he is sitting here with such a big and spicy thorny thorny. If they recognize him, it would be a little troublesome. Thinking of this, his face changed slightly.
Wang Rujiao was just making a joke casually, but she saw Nangong Xiuqi's face change slightly. Bingxue was smart and understood the interests after thinking for a moment. So before Nangong Xiuqi could speak, she lifted the curtain behind her a small corner and said hurriedly: Brother Qi, go in and avoid it first.
Although he knew that it was quite dangerous now, Hong Nangong Xiuqi was reluctant to show weakness in front of a delicate woman. He pretended to be indifferent and said: What are you afraid of?If the girl Baoyue wanted to catch me, she would let her come over, but it depends on whether she had the ability.
Don’t be willful, hurry up, what’s important now is that your sister-in-law and the others are still seriously injured. Do you want to kill them?Wang Rujiao scolded her like an older sister.
Then, that's OK.
After she said this, Nangong Xiuqi couldn't continue to pretend. He bowed his waist and squeezed into the narrow carriage again.
The carriage continued to drive slowly. Nangong Xiuqi was sitting in the dark carriage, but there was noisy outside. He was quite bored and felt upset. Originally, he thought that meeting Wang Rujiao would definitely be of great help to rescue his father. After all, her father Wang Bolun is a dignified prime minister, but unexpectedly, her father had been removed from the position of prime minister. Now he is also an ordinary person. It seems that he can't help him.
Nangong Xiuqi leaned against the wall of the car in frustration and sighed softly. However, when he saw Liu Fengzi still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help feeling a little better, and he thought to himself: Fortunately, he didn't find anything. Finding his sister-in-law can be considered a bit of worries in my heart.
Just as he was worried and happy, he suddenly heard a scream from outside, which was Xiaobi's voice. Then he heard her say in panic and angry: What are you doing?Shameless, vulgar...
Needless to say, Xiao Bi must have been teased by a wanderer on the roadside. Nangong Xiuqi couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He thought that he often teased beautiful women on the road at the time, and the teased woman also screamed and scolded like this.
Nangong Xiuqi was not in a hurry to go out. He quietly lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at it. As he expected, he saw a white-faced young man wearing a brocade shirt and a jade crown blocking their way. The man grabbed the reins with one hand and pretended to be elegant in the other hand, and laughed: Girl, don’t pretend, which girl is the girl from which building are you?I'll support you now, my son, I have money.
Although the white-faced young man was talking to Xiaobi, his thief eyes were staring at Wang Rujiao beside her. His malicious eyes scanned from her face to her body, and then returned from her body to her face, coming and going, tireless.
Obviously, this white-faced young man treated Wang Rujiao and the others as brothel girls here. In fact, this is no wonder. After all, this street is a place where flowers and willows gather. Ordinary women from good families, especially at night, will not pass here.
However, even if it was a brothel woman, the white-faced young man dared not be too presumptuous, because he could judge that Wang Rujiao's face, which was so beautiful that she was not comparable to ordinary brothel women. If this woman had an affair with a certain prince and noble family, he would not dare to touch the woman easily. So although he was drooling at Wang Rujiao, he still teased Xiaobi beside her first to test it.
Xiaobi's pretty face flushed and she scolded in shame and anger: Be presumptuous!Do you know who we are?How dare you be so rude?
Although Xiaobi is just a little maid, she has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official of the Prime Minister's family slave. The momentum he exudes in his every move is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary maids. Therefore, the white-faced young man was shocked by her and stared at them in a daze, looking at them both at a moment.
The people around him suddenly burst into laughter. These tourists were also fascinated by Wang Rujiao's beauty, but because they were as concerned about the White-Faced Young Master, these people did not dare to tease him easily. Later, they saw the White-Faced Young Master bravely coming forward to tease the beauty. They were all envious and jealous, and they didn't want the White-Faced Young Master to monopolize the courtesan. They wanted to see him hit a tough guy. Now that they saw him, they were really disappointed and laughed gloating.
The white-faced young master suddenly felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He wanted to have an attack but did not dare to have an attack. After a long time, he put away the paper fan and pointed at Xiao Bi and said with a tough look: OK, okay, little bitch, you, you are waiting...
While speaking, he pushed away the onlookers and left in a hurry.
The onlookers let out another sneer, and at the same time they understood that the beauty on the carriage had a history, so they no longer dared to follow and stare at it unscrupulously like before, and gradually they dispersed.
Hehe, it's so fun!Wang Rujiao covered her mouth and said with a giggle.
Xiaobi pouted aggrievedly and said: Is it still fun?Miss, you didn’t see the man scolding me just now, and you didn’t say a few words to me.
OK OK OK!
Wang Rujiao smiled and pinched Xiaobi's pouting corners and said: I will remember you a merit and I will guarantee you a good man in the future.
Oh, Miss, you are here again, Ignore you.Xiaobi waved the whip with red face.
After finally passing through this crowded street, it turned into an alley. It became much cleaner and the light became much darker. Nangong Xiuqi got out of the carriage and sat back next to Wang Rujiao.
Hehe, Brother Qi, did you go up to tease me like the person just now, just when you saw a beautiful girl on the street?
Ah…No, no Ah…How could it be…Nanggong Xiuqi denied it quite embarrassingly.
Wang Rujiao smiled and heard Xiaobi say: Miss, you are home.
Nangong Xiuqi quickly jumped out of the car and looked around. It was relatively remote and difficult to find people, but it was very clean and neat. There were stone slabs under his feet, and even dead leaves were not seen. A dark yellow wall that was more than one person high and was standing in front of them. It can be seen that this was the backyard of a wealthy family. The wall was not very high. An old locust tree stretched out from the top of the wall. The sound of dog barking came from time to time in the distance, highlighting the quietness and tranquility here.
After walking a few more steps forward, there was a circular arch. Xiaobi tiptoed over and opened the door and walked in. After a while, she ran out and said excitedly: Fortunately, the master and the wife and the others have all gone to bed.
Yeah?Very good!
Wang Rujiao waved her hand excitedly and said: Hurry, let’s drive the carriage in first.
After quietly driving the carriage into the yard, Wang Rujiao asked Nangong Xiuqi to carry Liu Fengzi and Ding Long out, and then said to Xiaobi: You should first drive the carriage into the carport, and then take some gold-chuang medicine and some food to the dark room. Be careful not to let others see it.
Xiaobi took the order and left. At this time, Wang Rujiao said to Nangong Xiuqi: Brother Qi, come with me.
At this time, Liu Fengzi had already woken up. Wang Rujiao helped her walk in front, while Nangong Xiuqi followed behind with Ding Long. They walked one after another through a small bamboo forest, and walked around a pond for about dozens of steps. A piece of weeds and vines and banana leaves intertwined like a green barrier, appearing in front of them, blocking their way.
