Chapter 36 Chapter 6 Gold Spy

Rebellion of Xiaoqiang, Part 2, Chapter 6, Gold Medal Spy I smiled and waved my hand and said, "Chiji, take a seat for Mr. Xia, you go down first. Bring some refreshments, Mr. Xia must be hungry." Chiji turned around and went out. After a while, he brought some refreshments and left Going down, Xia Jinyi had a seat, and quickly started to gobble it up. After a while, he burped, and when he was full, he almost collapsed on the chair, looked at me and said, "My lord, please give me instructions." I said lightly: "Do you know my identity?" Xia Jinyi said embarrassingly: "I already know that you are Sima from Tiance Commander's Mansion, and I heard your name and surname from senior brother. I heard that you are Master Jiang Zhejiang, the one who killed the King of Shu with a poem."

I laughed and said, "You forgot to say that I am from Southern Chu, I was dismissed from office by the ruler, and now I have changed my course and voted for King Yong." Xia Jinyi smiled and said, "What does that matter? Since Nan Chu looks down on you, I heard that King Yong still values ​​talented people. It's not wrong that you voted for King Yong." I said calmly: "Okay, I should have asked about your life experience, but it is not necessary to think about it, but if you have any special enemies or special experiences, don't blame me if there are any accidents in the future." Unpredictable."

Xia Jinyi thought about it: "The grassroots don't have anything special to report, but the grassroots are not good at literature and martial arts, so I don't know what they can do for adults." I said lightly: "It's very simple, you still go to seek refuge with the prince, but I want you to become the prince's confidant." Xia Jinyi said in astonishment: "My lord, how can I be close to the prince when I am a small person?" I didn't say a word, picked up a piece of paper with densely packed small characters on it, and handed it to Xia Jinyi. After reading it, Xia Jinyi's expression changed, and he said, "My lord, is it that simple?"

I smiled and said: "Yes, I don't want you to spy on the secrets, and I don't want you to contact us. I just want you to get the prince's favor according to my plan. Xingchen is still well prepared. I have already arranged the conditions for you to be favored by His Highness the Crown Prince. Next, it is up to you to adapt to the situation. You only need to grasp one principle, that is, let the Crown Prince indulge himself. , Say a few words of alienation, but remember, it can only involve the king of Qi. In addition, you must obey the prince's order in everything. Even if you are asked to do something bad, you have to do it. The big secret, even if they are about to harm King Yong, you don't have to pay attention to it, you know, today is the only time we meet, and even if we meet in the future, I will not tell you anything about tonight."

Although Xia Jinyi didn't understand my intentions, he still nodded and said: "Understood, my lord allowed me to gain the favor of the prince. I can decide other things by myself. In fact, I just want to please the prince as much as possible and eat, drink and have fun with him." gone." I nodded and said: "That's right, you can tell Senior Brother Ling the information about the Jinxiu Gang. Through this matter, at least you can enter the Prince's Mansion and get the Prince's appreciation. After that, it will depend on your cleverness. I will give you three cards." The prescription is a top-quality aphrodisiac formula, which can help you win the prince's favor. The three prescriptions have slightly different effects, and you provide them to the prince one by one. Remember, it is said that you improved it yourself. Since you use Mixiang, you are right Aphrodisiacs should have some knowledge, the crown prince dare not let the imperial physician do this kind of thing, so your favor should be fine."

Xia Jinyi said embarrassingly: "To be honest, my lord, although the villain has never done any evil deeds of picking flowers, I do know a thing or two about Mixiang aphrodisiac, and the prescription provided by my lord can also be understood by me, but it is a good medicine. , it can increase the taste without harming the body, as long as it is not used excessively, this kind of medicine is an excellent medicine." I smiled and said: "Okay, this way, I feel more at ease. Do you have any questions? After today, I won't have a chance to ask." Xia Jinyi asked hesitantly: "Master, are you so assured that the villain will not betray you?"

I smiled lightly and said: "Tell me, why did you betray me? I will give you information to make you meritorious, and I will give you a prescription so that you can be favored by the prince. I don't ask you anything. As for playing with the prince, if the prince is wise, how can you It is useful to separate the king of Qi and the crown prince. Even if the crown prince knows that I let you do this, so what? Will he completely trust the king of Qi? So if you are smarter, just do what I say, you can gain favor, and you don’t have to. Incur a murderous disaster, otherwise, Xiao Shunzi—"

Xiao Shunzi casually took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and easily ground the silver into powder in his palm.Xia Jinyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at me. I said again: "But I really can't trust you completely. How about this, you write a document saying that you are an undercover person sent by Prince Yong's Mansion, and leave it to me for preservation. If you are not strict with your mouth, I will let the prince Seeing your written evidence, don’t say that Prince Yong’s Mansion will kill you when the time comes, even the crown prince will not let you go, even my follower, killing you is easy, you just need to forget what happened tonight, and take the meeting gift I gave you and the prescription, then you can easily please the prince and get the glory and wealth you want, but remember, if you are too incompetent and cannot be favored by the prince within two months, then I am sorry, I am changing I have to kill you before anyone else."

Xia Jinyi bowed down and said: "The villain will never dare to live up to the entrustment of the adults. Don't worry, the adults, the villain is just trying to curry favor with His Royal Highness, and he will not feel any guilt." I smiled and said, "Okay, you can just write the evidence now, I'm waiting to see your good show, remember, after the matter is done, you will inevitably be implicated, but don't worry, I will arrange your escape route." Xia Jinyi bowed his head and said: "The villain knows." As he said that, he went to the table and wrote a written statement. Xia Jinyi also knew that if he didn't write it, he would be killed immediately.After he finished writing, I said again: "Come on."

It was Chi Ji who came in, and I said lightly, "Go back to the inn to rest first, didn't you make an appointment with your brother tomorrow to go to Jiangnanchun for a drink? The guards of Prince Yong's Mansion will follow my orders to arrest you and send you to Guan Zhonglian, but I think your brother will save you." Xia Jinyi's heart skipped a beat again, and he said helplessly, "Your Master's arrangements are so thorough, the villain will definitely not make mistakes." I waved my hand and said, "Okay, you have to go back as it is, and I won't send you off." Xia Jinyi was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he went out with Chiji dejectedly .

After sending Xia Jinyi away, Xiao Shunzi said calmly, "My lord, do you want me to put away the documents?" I smiled slightly, and lit the paper with the silver lamp casually.Xiao Shunzi looked at me strangely, and I said lightly: "What's the use of this document? Even if it was given to the crown prince, it would also prove our crime against Prince Yong's Mansion. If Xia Jinyi was smart, he would not have betrayed us. If it was true So stupid, we won't have anything to lose, but I don't think he will betray us." Looking at the light, I laughed again, if Xia Jinyi betrayed us for such a cheap thing, then he would be a god Fool number one. Xia Jinyi still had his acupuncture points tapped and put them in the box. He returned to his room in the inn in the early hours of the morning. On the way, Xia Jinyi repeatedly thought about what he should do. The opportunities and methods favored by the prince, his own reputation is not good, and his martial arts are mediocre. Without these, I am afraid that he will not be able to get the glory and wealth he dreams of for the rest of his life. Even if he tells everything, so what? Zhongtian, how can a small person like me shake King Yong? Thinking of Chiji's methods, even a small follower is so ruthless, then their master's methods can be imagined, the best way for me is to follow their words , must be favored by the prince within two months. Back on his bed, Xia Jinyi sat up after the acupoints were untied, slowly thinking about how to speak and act, until after noon, he walked out of the inn calmly, and came to Jiangnanchun again. Although his complexion didn't change much, his eyes were very strange. Who made him have a drink with people from the Prince's Mansion after offending Guan Zhonglian yesterday? Walking into the elegantly decorated flower hall, Xia Jinyi saw a few people in brocade clothes sitting together talking and laughing. He stepped forward a few steps, bowed to the middle-aged man with a Chinese character face sitting at the head, and said, "Elder brother, younger brother!" I'm a step late, please forgive me, big brother." The middle-aged man was named Zhang Jinxiong. He was thirty-seven years old this year, and his appearance was very upright. Although he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he was ordinary, except for a pair of sleeves that were very wide. He was the twenty-seventh generation disciple of the Kongtong Sect. The Qimen Kungfu is outstanding, and he has become the best candidate for the next generation. Originally, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts without the slightest distraction. He never went down the mountain easily except to go out to run errands ordered by his master. But two years ago, Feng The envoy of Yimen went to Kongtong in person, and after a long talk overnight, Zhang Jinxiong was sent to Chang'an as a fourth-rank guard with a sword.Zhang Jinxiong was upright, serious in doing things, and never overstepped his limits, so he quickly gained the trust of the prince and became the chief guard of the prince's mansion.He never pays any attention to any political disputes on weekdays. Apart from being responsible for the defense of the Prince's Mansion, he is practicing martial arts, and occasionally going out for a few drinks with a few close guards. He is very respected by his subordinates.Strictly speaking, he is not the prince's confidant, because many of the prince's unwillingness to make public are handled by other people, that is, Xing Song, the deputy director. When he saw Xia Jinyi, there was a smile on his face, and he said lightly: "You are here, come and sit down, these few are my subordinates, in the future you will ask them to take care of you when you enter the mansion?" Xia Jinyi stepped forward to salute and said: "Brothers, if you don't know how to write, you can't do martial arts. Fortunately, you are still a little bit smart. If you don't mind the elder brothers, you can leave any errands to the younger brothers." A thin middle-aged man smiled and said: "I see, I have heard from Director Zhang that you are good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but you are not careful in martial arts. And let you call him senior brother." Xia Jinyi said without blushing and heartbeat: "Of course my brother loves me. At the beginning I didn't learn well and was expelled from the school. If my brother hadn't begged for mercy, my martial arts would have been crippled long ago. Come on, little brother toast my brother, and I will invite my brother in the future." Take good care of me and a few brothers, I will never dare to cause trouble." Several people drank the glass of wine with a smile. Zhang Jinxiong was naturally satisfied with his younger brother's words and deeds, and the guards didn't mind this young man who would not pose a threat to him. Next, well-trained servants began to serve delicate dishes. A guard picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile, the famous Nanchu dish really has a unique taste, but the name is too weird. Look at this dish, although it is delicious, it is called Beauty Liver.Xia Jinyi smiled and said: "This dish is made of duck pancreas, that is, duck gizzards, with chicken breast, winter bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, and stir-fried in duck fat. The name has a origin. A well-known talented person had a banquet at Qiushuilou, one of the most famous restaurants in the area. Unexpectedly, the chef of the restaurant did not match the dishes. If one dish was missing, wouldn’t it be a bad reputation? Attracted by the white and pink color of the duck pancreas soaked in water, it was served with chicken breast and stir-fried in duck oil. The guests praised it very much. When they asked the name of the dish, the waiter who served it saw that it was milky white in color, smooth and tender, I casually said the word 'beautiful liver', and this dish got its name, but in fact there is another famous dish in Southern Chu called Xishi Tongue?" Several guards said in surprise: "Xi Shi Tongue." Xia Jinyi said with a smile: "Actually, it's the tongue and foot of a sea clam. It is said that it is fat, white and tender. It is delicious in the world, but it is easy to eat only at the seaside." One of the guards laughed and said, "Brother Xia really has a lot of knowledge and knowledge. If you have the chance, you should try the Xi Shi Tongue." Xia Jinyi changed his mind and said, "Actually, my younger brother likes the delicacies in Sichuan the most. I heard that Chang'an also has many restaurants that specialize in Sichuan cuisine. For example, Hongyun Pavilion in Chang'an City and Xizilou in Liren City should have good Sichuan cuisine. ." A guard sneered and said: "Brother Xia also said that he is already familiar with him in Chang'an. Now he has revealed his secrets. I am a local tiger in Chang'an. I don't know what kind of restaurant it is. Hongyun Pavilion is indeed a Sichuan restaurant. The Taibai duck there The world is unique, Xizilou is the best in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, I know that the beauties inside are all slim and charming, and there are many women from Nanchu, who are said to have been trafficked from Nanchu privately. Although the food and wine are good, there is nothing special about it. I heard that the boss is also a native of Dayong, so how can there be excellent Sichuan cuisine?" Xia Jinyi deliberately surprised and said: "Hey, don't you know, my little brother travels around the world, I can recognize Boss He from Xizilou, he is He Tieshan from the Qingcheng School, and his swordsmanship is very good, hehe, big brother, you know The younger brother later learned that his master was a Taoist priest in Tiandu Temple, so the younger brother often sold some ointments, pills, medicine powder and so on. It was a coincidence that he recognized Lao He. That was five or six years ago. I heard that it was He is the general manager of the prince of the Shu Kingdom, and he never expected to become a big boss now, but to be honest, people in the Jianghu want to earn money, and it is really rare to see people who do this kind of prostitution business like him." The faces of all the guards including Zhang Jinxiong changed, and Zhang Jinxiong asked in a deep voice, "Did you recognize the wrong person?" Xia Jinyi smiled and said: "How is it possible, brother, you know my skills. When I first came to Chang'an, I settled down in Guanzhonglian. Once I went out for a stroll and met Boss He in front of the Xizi Pavilion. It's just that the place spends a lot of money. My brother really I was short of cash, so I didn't go in." Looking at Zhang Jinxiong's livid face, Xia Jinyi felt very funny. This statement is 70% true and 30% false. He has seen Boss He before, and he has also been to Sichuan. Even the drug sale is true. Yes, but Boss He has never bought his medicine, and he doesn't know that this Boss He is actually a master of the Qingcheng faction, the chief steward of the King of Shu, but he got it from the information provided to him by Mr. Jiang from Yongwang's Mansion. I just know something. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Xia Jinyi didn't wait for the senior brother to ask questions, and immediately greeted him before serving food and wine. Just as Zhang Jinxiong was about to continue to question him, a jug of fine wine was delivered, when suddenly a cold voice came from outside: "Xia Jinyi, come out and accept Bind, I will save you from death." Xia Jinyi showed a look of panic, and looked at Zhang Jinxiong. Zhang Jinxiong glanced at him, and said loudly, "Who is making noise outside? I am a fourth-rank guard with a sword. Zhang Jinxiong, the head guard in front of the crown prince, is here." Surprised voices came from outside the door, and then someone shouted: "I am a fourth-rank guard with a knife, and Hu Wei, the deputy head of Yongwang's mansion, is here. Mr. Zhang, I have been ordered to arrest the man who violated Mr. Sima Jiang, the commander-in-chief of Tiance. The key offender, the vagabond Xia Jinyi, why is Mr. Zhang here?" Zhang Jinxiong glared at Xia Jinyi fiercely. Xia Jinyi turned pale and bowed repeatedly. Zhang Jinxiong said coldly, "Master Hu, please come in and talk." The door opened, and a mighty, stern man walked in. He was dressed in a brocade official uniform, and without even looking at Xia Jinyi, he stepped forward and saluted Zhang Jinxiong: "Master Zhang, I have been ordered to arrest the villains. Please do me a favor." Zhang Jinxiong said calmly: "Although my junior brother is messing around, how can I work hard for Mr. Hu so far?" Hu Wei said: "My lord Zhang doesn't know something. I am now ordered to guard the commander-in-chief Sima Jiang Zhejiang lord. Yesterday, my lord was drinking here. It coincided with the conflict between Xia Jinyi and Guan Zhonglian, so my younger brother actually planted the blame, and my lord almost got married with Guan Zhonglian." In the event of a conflict, my lord ordered that junior brother Ling must be captured and sent to the Guan Zhonglian, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhang for your convenience." Zhang Jinxiong's heart sank. He naturally knew that Sima of the commander-in-chief Tiance's mansion was one of the most important ministers under the command of King Yong. He was a small bodyguard, but he couldn't stop him. But seeing his junior brother's pale expression, he said coldly "Junior Brother Xia has not violated the king's law, and you are not Jing Zhaoyin, so you have no qualifications to arrest him. Besides, if you take him away in front of me, what face do I have to keep in front of the prince?" ." Hu Wei also frowned, His Highness ordered that Master Sima's orders must be obeyed, if he disobeyed, he might be punished, but what Zhang Jinxiong said made sense, everyone knew that Yongwang's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion were incompatible, If Zhang Jinxiong let himself take away people like this, he might lose face of the crown prince. In this way, King Yong might also be dissatisfied with his behavior. After much deliberation, there is still nothing he can do.He glanced at Zhang Jinxiong.Although Zhang Jinxiong has a good temper, he is not a fool. He also saw Hu Wei's embarrassment, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let me take him back first, and he will definitely not let him leave Chang'an. After a few days Today, I will personally go to Guan Zhonglian to mediate the matter, and then I will ask him to apologize to Mr. Jiang, but today you must not let him take him away." Hu Wei thought about it, this was also the only way, and said: "Since Mr. Zhang guarantees, I will let him go first, and make plans after I go back to report to Mr. Sima." After saying goodbye, Zhang Jinxiong also Sending them off in person, after all, King Yong and the prince haven't broken their faces yet, and we still have to take care of face matters, and Zhang Jinxiong himself is not rude. After sending Hu Wei away, Zhang Jinxiong glared at Xia Jinyi, and said, "This is great. Last time you spoke vaguely. It turns out that you have seriously offended Prince Yong's Mansion. How will this end?"
