The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 159

    Anyone who is capable has more or less quirks.

    Mian Tang stopped talking after hearing the words of the head guard.

    Cui Xingzhou was busy with a lot of things every day, and he ordered his subordinates to do many trivial things, so he didn’t bother to ask, probably he didn’t know what the residence of Master Xie was like.

    But according to her intuition, this place is really inappropriate, and when she sees that Xie Gao, she has to persuade her.

    But after meeting Master Xie, Liu Miantang really understood the dilemma of the head guard.

    It is said that this is the descendant of Xie Yi, the great genius of the previous dynasty, and has always regarded himself as a lofty and arrogant family style.

    This time he didn’t want to come to Beihai either, but it is said that the people of King Huaiyang’s men came only after half persuasion and half coercion.

    If you come here, it will be delicious. The hot weather and the unbearable illness instigated Xie Gaoren’s temper.

    When Liu Miantang and Zhao Quan entered the inner court, they only heard an old man cursing vigorously: “The king of Huaiyang, who was killed by the plague, actually brought this old man to such a poor place. Even the first emperor of the Holy Emperor was polite when he was looking for the old man to build a ship. He knew that he would send someone to rush the drawings all day long. I was always sick, and even a boatman did not paint for him. !”

    Marquis Zhennan raised his eyebrows, walked in with a fan, and said, “Old Xie, you are so angry that you are more careful, and you won’t be able to let it out for a while. “

    The disciple beside Master Xie looked at him and said, “Who are you?”

    Zhao Quan said: “Zhao Quan, the South Marquis of Zhenzhou Town, is also.”

    He is not doing a good job, and he is also famous in the capital, and most of the people who can find Zhao Quan to ask for a diagnosis are dignitaries. Master Xie had also heard about the reputation of Marquis Zhennan, and naturally knew that he was skilled in medicine.

    Miantang watched from the side, seeing this gentleman with a red face, he was still eating the lychees and Anboluo fruits, the specialty of Beihai!

    Although this Mr. Xie has a bad temper and a stinky mouth, but now Beihai can’t leave him, even if he puts on airs and curses, he has to endure it.

    Liu Miantang felt a little embarrassed if she revealed her identity now, after all, Mr.

    So I just made a look at Zhao Quan, signaling him not to reveal his identity.

    After Miantang came to Beihai, she abandoned the brocade clothes and wore some light skirts according to the customs of local women. Therefore, although Master Xie also took a few glances at this beautiful and unusual woman, he only regarded her as a kind of concubine and maidservant of Lord Zhao.

    After diagnosing the pulse, Zhao Quan confirmed that Mr. Xie really had nothing serious, and the diarrhea was not very obvious, but it was just a matter of taking a few packets of antidiarrheal medicine.

    But Mr. Xie seemed to be terminally ill, so he could only explain the taboos of his diet in detail: “Mr. Xie, it’s really not a big problem for you, if you say something is wrong, it’s probably I’ve been lying down a bit these days…”

      You have arranged a house suitable for conditioning your body, you see…”

    Before Liu Miantang finished speaking, Master Xie interrupted angrily, “Unless I tell this old man to leave Beihai, I won’t go anywhere!”

    Mian Tang smiled slightly and said, “Mr. misses his hometown, so he drew the drawings earlier to help the King of Huaiyang calm down the Japanese people, so he can go back naturally.”

    Master Xie smiled coldly and said: “I want this old man to help him get promoted? Let me show my sincerity first. After the old man came to Beihai, the food and accommodation will not be as satisfactory, you go and ask. , the people who asked the old man to design and build the ship in the past were all sincere and unable to get it…”

      What Yu Shi asked Mr. to build was probably for pleasure boats. The court has not built any new warships for a long time. Even if there are, they are ships sailing on the inland rivers, and they can be built according to the previous drawings. Mr. …I’m afraid you can no longer design sea ships, right?”

    Master Xie originally said a few words to Miantang for the sake of her good looks, but when she saw her rude remarks, he was immediately annoyed: “The craftsmanship of the Xie family’s boat building is ancestral, and the mere sea-going boat What’s so difficult about it?”

    Liu Miantang said with a whole face: “Since Mr. is not skilled and deliberately shirks the blame, why hasn’t a single drawing been published?”

    Master Xie sneered: “You are nothing, and dare to point in front of this old man.”

    When Zhao Quan heard it, he was also very angry with the old man, and said angrily: “This is the princess of Huaiyang.

    Listening to Zhao Quan’s words, Master Xie’s expression changed slightly, he looked at Liu Miantang up and down again, raised his brows and said, “The old man was clumsy before, I didn’t know that it was Princess Huaiyang who drove by himself. , this old man gave you a gift. It’s just that I’m in a bad mood these days, so naturally I can’t draw it.”

    ”

    Liu Miantang used to only know the word “virtue and art”, but now she understands that “de” and “art” can actually be no one next to each other. Obviously, Master Xie is the one of them.

    His arrogance and temperament are also accustomed to being praised by people in the capital, as well as wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

    At the moment, she was not angry, she just got up and smiled and said: “In that case, sir, take a good rest.”

    Out of the yard, Miantang suddenly narrowed her eyes.

    Just now, she noticed a flash of light in the distance. Although it was fleeting, Miantang was sure that it was the reflection of the diorama, and said to the captain of the guard: “Someone is peeping at the house, I’m afraid they want to It’s not good for Master Xie, so be careful these days. If someone commits a crime, you might as well make Master Xie suffer, but you must not let anyone hurt Master Xie’s life.”

    The chief guard was actually tossed by that Mr. Xie these few days, so he called aside the guards who were protecting Master Xie in the courtyard and gave some secret instructions.

    After Miantang returned to the house, she asked Mama Li if the prince was back. Li’s mother said: “The lord sent a servant back to tell the princess that he will lead the imperial commissioner to check the accounts tonight, and he will not go back to the palace at night.”

    Lu Yi had been following Liu Miantang. After hearing this, he said to her, “Let’s talk to the lord…”

    Liu Miantang replied: “I can’t help you much on weekdays, and these things are not a big deal. At this time, calling the lord to come back will let those imperial envoys who came to find fault have an excuse to discredit the lord. Bring some more brothers and let Fan Huzheng recruit some more people.”

    In addition, after Yingsi Temple spied on Liu Miantang coming out of the yard, he was even more certain that this must be the home of the famous shipbuilder in Beijing and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

    I just don’t know why he kept looking up at the sky, just when the sun came out of the clouds, he suddenly shook the diorama that had been put away a little, then led the people to turn and leave .

      These people wear sharkskin tanned diving suits, which are not only anti-knife and gun, but also conducive to swimming.

    They didn’t use ropes, only one of the most sturdy shadows stretched out his arms and put his hands together, the other person jumped up slightly, his toes lightly tapped on that person’s palms, He climbed up the courtyard wall. The figure leaned over and saw a few suffocating lanterns in the courtyard, but they could only illuminate a small area, and most of the courtyard was submerged in darkness. He listened carefully, without the slightest sound, lowered his head and made a gesture to the outside of the courtyard. The others turned over to the wall just like him, and finally the sturdy shadow jumped up, and several people on the wall stretched out their hands to drag him up at the same time.

     Quietly they slipped down the wall and touched the main room. They are all good ninjas in the East. Even if they walk quickly on the sandy road, they do not make a sound, and they hide behind large stones and small trees in the courtyard from time to time. When they got to the main house, the two leading ninjas used the tip of their knives to gently push the door latch, open a small crack, and dodge into the house.

    The ninja who entered the room walked to the head of the bed in the dark, and vaguely felt someone on the bed, his left hand moved forward to cover his mouth, and his right hand raised the dagger and plunged it down.

    At this moment, a loud shout came from outside: “There are assassins”, and at the same time, the interior and exterior of the house were suddenly bright and bright, illuminating the house and courtyard as bright as day.

    In his sleep, Master Xie only felt a tight ankle and a pain, and then he flew straight out of the bed, hitting the wall with a bang, and he cried out in pain, and he woke up instantly come over. When I looked up, I saw two people standing in front of them, wearing black water jackets, both holding daggers, and one of the daggers had pierced the bed board.

    Mr. Xie no longer had any reserved demeanor, and he was so frightened that his voice changed its tone, and it was sharp and high. I heard a dog barking around.

    The ninja who didn’t shoot took a step forward and stabbed Master Xie with the dagger. The man at the head of the bed also abandoned the dagger on the bed, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and slashed at the corner of the wall.

    It turned out that there was a person standing in the corner, it was the captain of the guard, holding a rope in his hand, the end of the rope was tied to Master Xie’s feet, and he just pulled Master Xie out with the rope. As for the lights inside and outside the house, they were originally lit, but three layers of thick black cloth were placed on the outside of the wind lamp, so that the light could not see through at all. The black cloth is all tied with thread, and when the thread is pulled, the black cloth is torn off and the light shines out.

    Mr. Xie still didn’t understand what was going on. Seeing someone killing him in front of him, he closed his eyes and barked sharply, causing a burst of barking.
