Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 125
“Jiang Xiaolou, since this is the end of the story, let’s say everything clearly. My biological mother is just a maid in the palace, and she served with the empress empress back then. Her personality is very gentle, and she is very careful when she is a servant. She seems to be born to serve people. Except for taking care of the queen, she always stays alone in silence. She can’t learn to direct others, and never talk about anyone. The empress is in poor health, so she tries her best to serve. So, even if she was favored by your Majesty later, she was like a day for several years, and she never slackened. When I was five years old, I once saw my mother go to pay respect to the queen, and even took the initiative to trim the nails of the queen’s wife regardless of the status of my concubine. …”
Duguke’s voice was very calm, and his eyes only fell on the distant shore.
“She knelt down on one knee and hugged the queen’s feet in her arms and cut it carefully. At that time, I was thinking that my mother was a born slave, who only knew how to serve others. I despised her from the bottom of my heart and believed she was a man. Minion fate, she talked to me, I ignored it, and even turned my face away. The concubine in the palace felt that my mother was just a dog next to the Queen Empress, and everyone hated her and despised her. Later, Empress Empress Accompanying Your Majesty out of the palace to worship the heavens, people salvaged her body in the lake. Someone told me that she was pushed down into the lake and drowned. When salvaged, she couldn’t close her eyes. Others said she was because of the palace. The concubine in China is at odds and feels frustrated, committing suicide in the lake.”
Jiang Xiaolou didn’t expect Duguke to say this to her, but the expression on her face was serious and did not urge. Sure enough, Duguke continued and said: “I know that no one killed her, she just can’t go on, because life in the palace is very painful, everyone is waiting to find her fault, even though she has tried to please the queen. Niang, but the queen can’t take care of her forever. But because of a humble background, others think she is not worthy of being favored by your majesty, standing together to squeeze her and make her miserable. I step by step and watch her. Towards the grave, this is what I did to her as a son.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou looked straight at the other party and said: “Wang Meiren is to protect the third majesty, so she bows and bows to the queen, her face is charming.”
Duguke was taken aback, and it took a long time before he said: “So you already know everything.”
Knowing yourself and the enemy can win all battles. Since you dare to come to the banquet, who can be defeated by Dugu will naturally understand. Jiang Xiaolou just smiled without saying a word, and did not answer.
Duguke continued: “The son of a low-born woman will always be looked down upon. Even if I try harder, others will only point to me and say something contemptuously, that is the son of a maidservant.” He paused. After a while, I don’t know what I remembered, and I fell into Ruyan’s past. At this moment, Duguke seemed to be a little nervous. At first, he laughed naturally. After he laughed halfway through, his face slowly became calm again. It seemed that something bitter was coming up in his heart, “People living in the palace should not ask. Can’t ask, can’t say what shouldn’t be said, there is no true word between each other. Everyone wears a fake mask on their face, and it is impossible to show their sincerity. When I was young, I always felt that the palace was like an ice cellar, which made people shy away. After I left the palace, I felt more comfortable.”
Jiang Xiaolou looked at him quietly, a trace of understanding gradually appeared in his eyes. Being in the house of the emperor, enjoying the wealth of the world, but also having to bear the pain that ordinary people can hardly experience. The third prince Duguke was born humble and weak, but he was able to manage this situation, and he was already an extraordinary person. Unfortunately–
“Actually, you deliberately annoyed me that night, I can tell.”
Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyebrows unconsciously and said: “Oh, your Highness knows?”
A faint smile on Dugu Ke’s face: “I really didn’t know at first, but I thought of it when I went out. You deliberately put on a strong appearance in front of me, wanting to make me retreat. ,right?”
Jiang Xiaolou blinked, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and his face was so beautiful that it was trembling.
Duguke sighed with emotion: “Marrying me is not a good choice, because I don’t have a noble background, and I am not very favored by my father. If I want to board Dabao in the future, I am afraid that there will be some suffering. Fight.”
This person is no other good, but it is really not annoying. Jiang Xiaolou understands why he can gather people’s hearts…because he is frank enough and does not deny his shortcomings, and is a truly smart person. In that case, it would be better for both parties to be straightforward, so she chuckled softly: “Yes, if I become the three princes, I’m afraid I will have to go through a **** storm every day.”
Hearing the words blood and rain, Duguke couldn’t help but laugh: “This description is apt. However, at the same time you will also get the honor and status second only to the prince. The queen seems humble, but it is a powerful method. The girl of, your ability to cling to her proves that your scheming is very comparable. And you are extremely ambitious and deliberately set against the prince.”
As expected, the most indispensable person in the capital is smart people. Jiang Xiaolou has a good look and a gentle smile: “His Royal Highness really knows a lot. Are you trying to use this to force me into marriage?”
“No, it’s not a forced marriage. I just want to tell you the pros and cons so that you can distinguish between the pros and the cons. I sincerely want to marry you, and my heart can be shown.
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Duguke, seemingly observing whether what he said was true or false, but he didn’t say a word.
Duguke seems to know Jiang Xiaolou’s mind very well: “As long as you respect and respect me and assist me, someday I will get what I want, and you will be one person below ten thousand people. There is no one in this world who can deceive You insult you, Princess Mingyue, I can swear to you—”
The stakes are huge, and the temptation to win the gambling is also very tempting. Women in the world can only ask for a sincere husband, but Jiang Xiaolou has never wanted this… What difference does it make to her who she marries? It’s an important means to achieve an end. Thinking about it left and right, Jiang Xiaolou felt very sorry. Whether it was a literary talent or martial arts, or a conversational style, Duguke was the best choice for her husband and son-in-law, but his winning side was less than 30%, so he spared his life to help him and assist him, in case the last Failure is really worthless.
Jiang Xiaolou was crackling here, thinking about Duguke like doing business, and finally made up his mind, with a humble smile on his face: “His Royal Highness is of course sincere, but it is a pity that Xiaolou is an ordinary woman. , It is really unbearable to match with your Highness, and I have to live up to your hard work.” After speaking, she moved lightly to get up.
At this moment, Huafang had already rowed back to the lake and stopped. Jiang Xiaolou walked out of the cabin, but suddenly heard a sound.
“Princess Mingyue, please wait a moment.” Duguke had already got up and chased to the door of the cabin, still reluctant to give up: “Don’t refuse right away. This is a good thing for each of us. I can guarantee that after marriage. You have absolute freedom. Whether you run your own shop or you want to deal with enemies, I will help you. Is there any man in the world that can do this?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyebrows twitched, and he smiled suddenly: “His Royal Highness said very well, but it is a pity that the husband I seek is not someone like you.”
Speaking of this, she was unmoved, and Dugu simply sneered: “This kind of opportunity is rare in a lifetime. You should know your identity. Other than me, how can you rely on it?”
Whether it was King Qing, Princess Qing, or even Duguke, the three of them had the same tone. Yes, as the daughter of Jiang Xiaolou businessman, there is no chance of marrying into the royal family anyway. If it weren’t for Helianxiao who had suffered, I’m afraid Duguke wouldn’t be brazen to change his fiancée. In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Xiaolou had stepped on **** luck and picked up a big deal. Duguke thought twice, his brows suddenly raised, and his expression became serious: “Perhaps what you are looking for is…” When he said this, he suddenly seemed surprised by his own thoughts, “No, Princess Mingyue is so smart. People who want to learn from those mundane and dull women asking for a beloved husband?”
If Jiang Xiaolou is really as smart as he thought, he should weigh the pros and cons and know how to choose. But the other party is still unmoved. Duguke knows some boudoir daughters very well, reads too many novels, daydreams all day long, and talks about easy and priceless things, and rare stupid things about lovers. Every man in the world dreams of making meritorious deeds and seeking prosperity and wealth. Those who guard their wives are nothing more than mediocre people and incompetent people. There are even ignorant girls who listen to the deceit of those people and believe that it is true, so that they disregard family interests and personal honor Everywhere. If Jiang Xiaolou is such a stupid woman, it can explain why she refuses to follow…
He stared at the other person carefully, Jiang Xiaolou’s beautiful face, his eyes were as bright as stars, and the smile on his face was heartbroken.
An unspeakable anxiety immediately rose in his heart. No, Jiang Xiaolou is not that kind of stupid person. So, why?
Duguke couldn’t help but persuaded: “If you marry me, at least I can guarantee your position as a concubine, and there will be endless future fortunes in the future… The princess will consider it.”
Although Duguke spoke extremely secretively, Jiang Xiaolou already understood very well that the other party had promised her the position of queen, but she just bowed to the other party and walked straight to the shore.
When Jiang Xiaolou got off the boat, the person behind him suddenly said: “Princess Mingyue, although the pufferfish is poisonous, it is the most beautiful thing in the world. It is a pity that you don’t eat it.”
When Jiang Xiaolou heard the words, he turned around and looked at him, and smiled faintly: “His Royal Highness, you must also pay attention to fate when you eat. It seems that I have no fate with this delicious pufferfish.”
On the carriage, Jiang Xiaolou dropped the curtain, and the elegant smile on his face instantly disappeared. Xiaodie said worriedly: “Miss, I see that the three Highnesses are not giving up, do we want to think about it?”
Jiang Xiaolou naturally knew that Duguke’s persistence surpassed her imagination… One persuasion, two persuasion, three persuasion, and he swears not to give up unless he achieves his goal. This person is really forbearing, even if he can’t win the throne. The crown prince’s confidant is serious. Dugu Ke is still like this, the other princes are hiding their powers and hiding their powers, and can’t bear it. No one knows what they are waiting for and what the future will be.
“This world will be chaotic sooner or later…” After a long time, Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly.
Xiaodie’s heart jumped, and she no longer dared to ask about this topic.
Soon it was New Year’s Eve, and the carriage went all the way to the street. The South Gate, East Gate, Caiyi Alley, and Xiaoping Street became more and more exciting today. The silk and satin shops, the ready-to-wear shops, the North and South goods and the gold and silver jewelry shops were crowded with people. The people inside rushed out with their arms full of new year goods, and the people outside rushed in happily. People often bump into each other and throw everything On the ground. Most people are pushing carts full of New Year’s goods, while young posters lead the beautiful daughter-in-law and rush into the shop to coax the purchase. Every household is crowded with noisy voices. The streets are full of temporary stalls, some selling lanterns, some selling Spring Festival couplets, and countless pastries selling, so that the whole street is floating with the fragrance of peach crisps, sesame cakes, and fried cakes, mixed with soap jade. The fresh fragrance of firecrackers and the smoky smell of firecrackers further enhance the Chinese New Year atmosphere to the extreme.
Fluttershy took a deep breath, only to feel that his heart was full of sweetness, and couldn’t help but smile: “The Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, it’s so delicious.”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded gently, and said: “Since I have come out, tell the coachman to go to Jinyumantang.”
“Yes, miss.”
Just at this moment, the leading horse suddenly uttered an earth-shattering scream, and the carriage shook suddenly, and only felt that the walls were shaking, Xiaodie screamed, dizzy, almost completely overturned to the ground, embarrassing Only after grabbing Jiang Xiaolou’s arm, his voice was shaking: “Miss!”
Hearing the sound of breaking through the sky, Jiang Xiaolou suddenly lifted the driving curtain, only to find that the carriage had collided with a horse team. Because the leading horse was frightened, there was a sudden accident. If it weren’t for the quick response of the coachman, I’m afraid that the carriage has now rolled over to the ground. She couldn’t help but lowered her face. This was the carriage of the Qing Palace. Who would dare to crash into the car so boldly.
The leader of the other party is very young, with a black hair that reaches the waist and is just a simple bunch, a pair of long eyebrows slanting into the temple, his eyes are extremely deep, and his lips are just pressed sharply under the tall bridge of the nose. A black robe embroidered with gold, shining brightly in the golden sunlight. His eyebrows were also swept toward the carriage, with a trembling cold. Jiang Xiaolou will never forget this face in his life, it was General Pei Xuan.
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes fell on the coachman. He tried his best to keep the carriage from turning over in an instant, but such a move obviously angered the opponent and gave him a whip. The whip force was so great that before the coachman had time to react, the whole person was kicked out by the huge impact force. At this moment, he was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, his complexion pale. She raised her brows lightly, “It turned out to be General Pei. I don’t know where my coachman has offended you, but he is so vicious.”
Pei Xuan raised the whip in his hand and pointed to the coachman who fell to the side: “Because he doesn’t have eyes and bumped into my mount, so I have to teach him.”
What he said was an understatement, without a trace of emotion, as if everything was taken for granted. Jiang Xiaolou’s carriage drove along the lane, avoiding pedestrians all the way, and there was no overstepping. Where did the collision come from? It was clear that Pei Xuan led the crowd to hit someone, but he wanted the wicked to sue first. It was simply a shameless person. I didn’t want to face him right away, but he didn’t want to let him go. It was really a narrow road. Pei Xuan has a good murderous aura hidden in him, and his cold eyes are even more difficult to hide arrogance. This man is said to be number one in martial arts, and maybe he will have a try today. But… Although she had confidence in Chu Han, she didn’t know the depth of Pei Xuan’s martial arts, and she didn’t dare to risk Chu Han easily.
Unexpectedly, without waiting for Jiang Xiaolou to speak, Chu Han immediately stood in front of the carriage, drew out the long sword, and pointed straight at Pei Xuan: “Don’t be rude to the princess, General Pei, please apologize immediately!”
Pei Xuan sneered, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. At the same time, Chu Han’s face sank, and the long sword in his hand stabs out quickly, the sword light is like a flash of lightning, and he has reached Pei Xuan in an instant. Before Pei Xuan moved, the sword had reached his throat, and his movements were staggering.
When the people around saw the conflict here for the first time, they retreated and looked frightened.
Pei Xuan’s iron whip was already wrapped around the long sword, and Chu Han only felt that a cold air rushed toward his face in an instant, like a sharp needle, which immediately hit his heart. With a slap, Chu Han’s originally fierce long sword was folded in half in front of everyone. Seeing the power of the iron whip so amazing, Chu Han’s heart trembled, and backhanded the broken sword across the opponent’s neck.
Between this sparkling flint, Pei Xuan smiled coldly, got up straight, and stood on the horse. Chu Han was completely hollow, his heart shook, but Pei Xuan turned his wrist and twisted Chu Han’s wrist. , Flashed ghostly, and in the blink of an eye, he fell behind Chu Han like a butterfly wing, with a touch of ridicule in his eyes. But the broken sword in Chu Han’s hand was still holding, but he had already lost his immediate goal. Chu Han has never met such a terrible person so far in welcoming the enemy. A crazy fear suddenly jumped out of his heart, and suddenly he felt an indescribable chill in his body.
Jiang Xiaolou surprisingly discovered that Pei Xuan’s iron whip had strangled Chu Han’s throat. He was shocked and said loudly, “Chu Han, be careful!”
The timid man covered his eyes, almost afraid to watch this scene of murder in the street. However, the next moment, Pei Xuan’s left hand shook, and the iron whip immediately loosened a little. Chu Han seized the opportunity to break free and was about to turn around to give him a shot. Pei Xuan’s eyes were cold, and Chu Han flew out with a palm. Chu Han fell to the ground like a kite with a broken line, vomiting blood and could hardly get up. Xiaodie exclaimed and hurriedly rushed over: “Brother Chu Han!”
Chu Han barely supported his body and said loudly, “Master, be careful.”
In front of Pei Xuan was a young man in Tsing Yi. He had a handsome face and a gentle smile. He looked as if he had walked out of the sun. His whole body was brilliant and dazzling.
“It turns out to be Prince Jin.” Pei Xuan’s eyes fell coldly on the opponent, “Pei Xuan can’t teach a naive slave, and it’s really strange that the labor prince is driving.”
Dugu Liancheng’s gaze fell on Jiang Xiaolou’s body, and he couldn’t help but feel relieved when she saw that although her face was pale, but she was not injured. He was originally a person of emotion and anger, but even though he was extremely angry, he didn’t have the slightest discomfort on his face. He just said indifferently: “You don’t have to be polite, General Pei. What’s wrong with this guard, let the general kill on the street?”
His eyes are alienated and cold. Pei Xuan has always loathed these weak and weak princes. He originally despised him, but when he looked at each other, he felt that his eyes were cold and deep, completely with him. The handsome and elegant faces are different from each other, and they feel tight in their hearts, knowing that Prince Jin is by no means as harmless on the surface, but just saying: “This guard dared to offend my majesty. Today I can’t let him. , Lord, please don’t mind your business!”
After speaking, Pei Xuan gave a sneer, and had already left Dugu Liancheng and quickly walked towards Chu Han, obviously trying to put the other party to death.
But Dugu Liancheng stood in front of him, just blocking him, motionless.
Pei Xuan is a person who has come down from the battlefield, with a terrible **** air on his body. The moment his eyes are slightly narrowed, people will feel a kind of fear from head to toe. Ordinary people can stand in front of him. No longer, even the princes and generals have to fear him by three points. But Dugu Liancheng just looked at him calmly, his eyes were extremely calm, and they were too calm. It’s not like looking at a butcher who might draw a knife to kill at any time, but like looking at a stupid pig.
Pei Xuan has never felt such a strange feeling. It is ridiculous that someone in this world dares to look at him with such eyes! Without thinking about it, the iron whip was swung again, and Huai’an shouted, “Master, here is the sword!” Dugu Liancheng raised his hand, and the long sword was already in his hand.
Pei Xuan’s martial arts is very advanced, his momentum swallows the clouds month by month, vicious and cold, the iron whip is directly wrapped around the long sword of Dugu Liancheng, but Dugu Liancheng is much faster than he thought, the long sword is full of murderous air, three moves Both styles avoided his iron whip. He was originally an elegant and noble son, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. His swordsmanship was like a roaming dragon, as if thousands of horses were rushing towards his face, rushing to the sky with murderous aura.
The guard of the palace whispered: “Princess, do you want to try to stop them?”
Jiang Xiaolou squinted at them and said faintly: “Do you think you can come out alive once you join the battle group?”
Jiang Xiaolou was right. Those two were real masters in the world. If they rushed to stop them rashly, they would become targets without becoming cannon fodder. Who would dare to go up there?
The guard retreated to the side, looking ashamed. Their martial arts are far worse than Chu Han, let alone on par with those two, it is better not to go up to die.
The long sword of Dugu Liancheng was extremely fast, every sword pierced the key, and the shining long whip also curled up the tip of the sword, but-unable to twitch, Pei Xuan’s face changed and became very pale. Because he finally found that he had met a master, and he could even feel the invincible and invincible murderous aura of the opponent. If it weren’t for his quick dodge action, the opponent’s sword would have penetrated his heart.
From the first day of entering the capital, Pei Xuan has heard countless people talk about Prince Jin. They said that he was beautiful, smiling, handsome, gentle and courteous, and he obviously inherited the most noble blood of the royal family, but he has the most humble and kind heart in the world. But now he discovered that Dugu Liancheng deceived everyone with this gentle and elegant face——
A truly harmless person would not have such cold eyes.
A person who does not want to have such a strong sense of victory or defeat.
Dugu Liancheng was the one who really wanted to kill him and was sure to kill him.
Pei Xuan’s pupils were slowly shrinking, because he felt the tip of the sword entangled by his whip, out of his control at a terrifying speed. From beginning to end, he couldn’t contain the opponent’s long sword at all, and he couldn’t find a flaw in Dugu Liancheng. He just suddenly realized that his palm and his back were already in cold sweat, and he suddenly retracted the iron whip, with a weird smile on his face: “Sure enough, I’m a master of the world, I’m overwhelmed.”
Dugu Liancheng just smiled as always: “Where, General Pei took over.”
The two closed their hands at the same time, and the original murderous aura disappeared instantly, as if it had never happened.
Pei Xuan always thought that he was invincible in the world, but only today discovered that there are people outside the world, there is heaven outside, and there is a great master hidden in the capital, but he thinks that they are weak scholars, which is simply absurd. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his whip. The smile on his lips slowly faded: “This long whip has followed me for many years, and countless people have died under the whip. Because too many people have been killed, So it has its own life, longing to taste the blood, longing for others to die under the whip.”
Dugu Liancheng just stared at him indifferently, as if he had anticipated what he was going to do.
Pei Xuan really sneered: “As long as I take action, I must kill, sometimes even I can’t control it—” After he finished speaking, he rolled his whip, and unexpectedly rolled the guard of Pei Mansion by his side with a click. The opponent’s neck was twisted in the street. How **** and terrifying this scene was, it was shocking.
The guard’s eyes suddenly burst, and instantly fell to the ground. Black and red blood ran all over the street. Jiang Xiaolou had already got out of the carriage at this moment, and frowned slightly as he watched this scene. The distance was too far, she could not see clearly, but now she discovered the mystery of this iron whip. It turned out that it was not an ordinary whip, it was covered with thin steel needles. When it rolls into a person’s throat, it can poke thousands of blood holes in an instant. The human head fell to the ground when it was entangled with an iron whip, which shows how powerful the iron whip is.
The people hiding behind the door panel looked at each other, and their faces were so scared that there was no blood. There are such murderous madmen in the world, which is simply the most terrifying thing in the world. What’s more frightening is that the guards of Pei’s Mansion seem to have been accustomed to Pei Xuan’s actions. They did not show the slightest shock or sadness on their faces, as if it was not their colleagues and friends who died, but a wild dog on the side of the road. Unintentionally beheaded by their heroic general.
Pei Xuan’s face was always very calm, and his eyes were sharp. Every time he saw him in the past, Jiang Xiaolou would involuntarily feel fear, and even tremble with fear. But that is already a thing of the past. When a person has reached the point of no retreat and has nothing to lose, she is no longer afraid of anything. So when Xiaodie was so terrified that his face changed, Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly.
On the empty street, in the freezing cold wind, the smile of a beauty was really abrupt and strange.
Especially this beauty looks weak, gentle and lovely, but what she says is even more surprising. The smile on Jiang Xiaolou’s lips is softer than the spring breeze: “General Pei, killing is very pleasant, but people who will clean this street in the future will not be too happy.”
This is one of the busiest markets in the capital, and the person responsible for guarding the security here is Jing Zhaoyin.
Pei Xuan mistakenly thought that Jiang Xiaolou was using Jing Zhaoyin to scare him, and couldn’t help but sneered: “Princess Mingyue, all the people around me are dead, and their lives belong to me, even Jing Zhaoyin has no right to interfere. ”
Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: “I don’t care about this, what I care about is money. When you were fighting with Chu Han, even the roadside stall was destroyed by seven or eight… Chu Han was my guard , I am willing to bear half for him, but you just injured my coachman and ruined the carriage of the palace. Should you compensate?”
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaolou in surprise, almost thinking that their ears were broken, or that this beautiful woman must be crazy. Who would dare to ask for money from a butcher who didn’t blink, especially this person who had injured her guard just now and trampled her like an ant?
But Jiang Xiaolou not only said it, but also said it perfectly. No matter how soft her tone was, she couldn’t hide the fact that she was collecting debts from Hades.
Pei Xuan’s face sank, and he was about to get angry, but he heard Jiang Xiaolou continue to downplay: “It is only natural to pay off debts. If General Pei refuses to compensate, I have to go to your majesty to talk about this. Your majesty has always hated those things. For those who take the opportunity to make troubles and take pride in favoring favors, if the common people gather in a crowd to file a complaint, the general’s mind today will be lost.”
Pei Xuan’s eyes condensed, looking at Jiang Xiaolou unexpectedly dumb. He never imagined that Jiang Xiaolou would dare to ask him for money at the moment of life and death, and he would ask for it so confidently and calmly. However, Jiang Xiaolou is right about one thing. Pei Xuan is going to return to the battlefield after all, but His Majesty didn’t mean to let him go. Because of this, he wanted to make trouble in the capital. But at this moment, I met Jiang Xiaolou. Of course he couldn’t kill Princess Mingyue, but what about the people around her? When the two sides are in a big trouble, your majesty will naturally expel himself from the capital in order to appease the other party. When the time comes, the emperor will be far away, and the sea will be wide. Only a **** battlefield is more suitable for him. On the contrary, he was **** in the capital and couldn’t do anything. He thought that Chu Han would be easy to deal with, but he unexpectedly smashed into a lonely city in the middle, and the matter became a big mess, and the people around him were involved. If the Mingyue Princess went to the emperor to file a complaint with tears, it would most likely be what he wanted, but if the people jointly filed a complaint, would the royal historians easily let him go… His face showed a sneer and said: “It’s a pity , I don’t have any silver on my body today.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly and said, “General Pei has received a lot of rewards, how can he be an empty shell?”
Pei Xuan looked at her coldly, his eyes infinitely cold: “Because I am walking on the street, no one has ever dared to ask me for compensation.”
Jiang Xiaolou was dressed in a fox fur buckle, but he was graceful in the cold wind: “Anyway, you will pay if you break something. You write an IOU, and I will send someone to pick it up the next day.”
“IOU?” Pei Xuan frowned, almost starting to admire Jiang Xiaolou’s courage.
Dugu Liancheng sighed, threw the long sword to Huai’an, Huai’an caught it, and stared suspiciously at Jiang Xiaolou. Just now, Pei Xuan killed the chicken and scared the monkey, making everyone tremble. Who dares to argue with him .
Jiang Xiaolou said slowly: “Of course, if you don’t have any money with you today, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have it in your house.”
A distorted shadow flashed under Pei Xuan’s eyes: “I didn’t carry pen and paper, how can I write?”
Jiang Xiaolou calmly said, “You don’t have one, but I do. Xiaodie!”
Fluttershy finally reacted, and quickly got into the carriage, and in a short while, he was ready with pen and paper.
Pei Xuan frowned deeply and smiled instead: “How much to write?”
Jiang Xiaolou really thought about this question carefully, and his tone was particularly calm: “The carriage of the Palace of Qing Dynasty is made of the finest fragrant wood. It took a hundred days of fine craftsmen. Embroidery on the carport It was Zhao Liniang of Jade Hall who embroidered endlessly for three months. It was a real magical embroidery. By the way, these four horses were all transported from Wanzhou, and they are among the best horses today. Now I use them. The accustomed driver is also injured, and the medical expenses are also a lot. Add up to seven and eight, and you won’t be asked to pay a lot of compensation, just three thousand taels of silver. As for the shop that was overturned by you along the street…you just write an IOU. Just be sure.”
Pei Xuan stared at Jiang Xiaolou, and suddenly laughed: “Princess Mingyue, as expected to be from a business sect, is actually so good at ripping off.”
Jiang Xiaolou laughed. Her smile was gentle, kind, and cute, and she was too charming: “The general has praised, a daughter of a merchant, if she can’t do business, wouldn’t it be clear that she was deceived? If the general is reluctant, then let’s go into the palace to see your Majesty now. It’s just that the noise you made today is a bit big. Once your Majesty gets angry, the general will not leave Beijing for at least two or three years.”
Originally, he was planning to cause trouble so that he would be punished, but the other party would not give in and would make the matter worse… Pei Xuan had tried repeatedly before, but at this moment he had to admit that the trouble was not very human, and it was really difficult. Thinking of this, he smiled softly: “Okay, just go to my house to withdraw money.”
Ten thousand taels are enough for thousands of people to eat and drink for two years, but Pei Xuan didn’t even blink his eyes. He really wrote an IOU of ten thousand taels and threw it to Xiaodie, saying coldly, “Princess Mingyue, it’s all right now. ?”
The golden tassels on Jiang Xiaolou’s cheeks are swaying with the bright sunshine, and it’s touching, “Please help me from the guards of the Pei Mansion to help me lift up the carriage and send the coachman to the doctor. Oh, yes, I wonder if any of your guards can Those who drive have to lend me one too.”
In an instant, Pei Xuan’s complexion changed, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed. Everyone on the street felt a compelling killing intent on his body. Their breath stopped, and their whole body was sweating. They could hardly make a sound, but Jiang Xiaolou did not make a sound. He hesitated to make his request without blinking.
No one knows better than her that Dugu Liancheng’s martial arts has stabilized Pei Xuan’s head, and there is absolutely no possibility for him to have another issue. Therefore, he must fulfill all the requirements put forward by Jiang Xiaolou. She has always been able to take advantage of the fire and rob this kind of thing, she has always done it handily, without guilt.
Pei Xuan’s voice was almost squeezed out of his teeth, and the smile on his face was already extremely distorted: “Okay.”
Pei Xuan left one of his guards, but his eyes fell on Dugu Liancheng when he was parting. However, the other party did not look at him, but was talking to Jiang Xiaolou. After a slight breath, Pei Xuan’s eyes darkened for three minutes, and he clasped his fist and said: “Prince Alcohol, there will be a period of time later.” After he said, he led the guards to drive away.
When Dugu Liancheng got on the carriage, he laughed softly: “I never knew, it turns out that you are so good at ripping off.”
Jiang Xiaolou laughed out almost happily: “It’s a pity that you showed up early, otherwise the show will be more exciting.”
Dugu Liancheng looked at her with an inquiring look for a moment.
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes became unusually bright for a moment, but soon the light fell silent and turned into a deep Leng Rui: “Pei Xuan’s boldness in using soldiers, the strangeness of marching, and the fierceness of combat are not comparable to ordinary generals. Da Zhou is the bloodiest and belligerent among all countries. Because of the thorough implementation of the military merit system, all generals were promoted in the war. Although Pei Xuan was born noble, he was still a small soldier when he first joined the army. Under this environment, He went from being a stepper step by step with brilliant combat exploits to the present day. He is completely dependent on his own ability. Because he is good at riding and archery, has outstanding martial arts, and is exceptionally brave and decisive when fighting. He has always been a top player among his peers. With the old General Pei fought to destroy the rebels in various places in Dazhou. But Pei Xuan also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is too proud and very cruel. Every time he kills, he always slaughters innocent women and children, even In order to make a big roast for fun, no matter how many times he was reprimanded by the emperor, Pei Xuan still went his own way. The only place suitable for him was the battlefield, because there were real and unscrupulous killings. Now the emperor suddenly recalled him back to the capital, He couldn’t kill people at will, so he naturally tried his best to escape. He did the same in the past. He shocked Mr. Cai’s horse and caused others to swear in the court. His Majesty sent him back to the frontier. Today, he repeated his old tricks. I’m not Master Cai. If you don’t come, I’ll be scared and sick in bed for as little as three months or as long as half a year. If he wants to leave, it’s not easy…”
“Your words are not all right.” A faint smile slowly floated on Dugu Liancheng’s lips.
“Where did I go wrong?” Jiang Xiaolou seemed to be taken aback.
“Pei Xuan is cruel and easy to kill. Your Majesty can naturally use him during wars, but now that the rebels have been eliminated from various places, and these generals are still left on the border, it is tantamount to creating chaos, so even if he falls out today, Your Majesty There is absolutely no way to let him go.” Dugu Liancheng obviously knew the emperor’s mind better, and reminded her without hesitation.
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes rolled, and he understood in an instant, he could bear it, but after all he could not hold it back: “You mean, your Majesty has the heart to kill him?”
Dugu Liancheng looked at Jiang Xiaolou deeply, but his eyes were calm and calm, “Xiaolou, Pei Xuan is a hero. Your Majesty will not kill him, only high-ranking officials will support him in order to achieve later effects.”
“Oh,” Jiang Xiaolou faintly replied, and a sneer appeared in those eyes that seemed to be filled with beautiful water waves, “This-I can’t help him!”
