Chapter 40 Section 5 Ancient Caves in Fengjing Ruins

Ying Zhu was holding a roll of bamboo slips in a daze, and a tantalizing fragrance wafted from his nose. "Staying in the study all day, I know how hard it is." A pair of jade arms gently embraced her.Ying Zhu patted the delicate hands on his chest and sighed: "The old man is approaching, and his words are faint! Why can't I figure out the imperial edict of the father?" The woman behind him giggled and said, "I don't know Madam Can I watch it?" Ying Zhu couldn't help smiling, stretched out his hand to embrace the woman, and patted her face with the bamboo slip: "Is the prison in order? I'll test you, read it." He inserted the bamboo slip into the woman's snow-white bulging chest chest.The woman giggled coquettishly for a while: "I'm blaspheming the king's order, do you know that?" Ying Zhu put his hands into the woman's corset and rubbed it with a smile, "What's the matter with the king's way? Look! If you don't see fame, you will be punished!"

Mrs. Huayang giggled and took out the bamboo slips from her chest and unfolded them. With a glance, she jumped up and clapped her hands, laughing, "Why don't you say such a good thing? You should be punished!" Ying Zhu smiled dejectedly: "The matter of Li Yi will be clear early. What do you mean?" "Morning morning! You are so stupid!" Mrs. Huayang's bamboo slips repeatedly lit the jade crown of Yingzhu, "That is the secret edict, this is the Ming edict! That is the work of the elders of the chariot, and this is the parents. Act! That’s far away, it’s just the autumnal equinox! Are you really overwhelmed?” Ying Zhu impatiently rolled over the bamboo slips that were slapped on his head and unfolded: “What’s the difference? It’s the same! You just say , Where does this phrase 'those who should deal with it should plan as soon as possible, and when it is kept secret, keep it secret'?"

"Understood, listen to me." Mrs. Huayang snuggled up to Yingzhu and smiled, "My husband has clearly observed: the autumnal equinox crowned Zi Chuxing, and it is still two months away. The old father must have notified the husband in advance. Know The meaning of the meeting is naturally that you and I need to make preparations first. And when it is secret, it is secret, one is not to make a big show, and the other is, right, definitely not to inform Zi Chu and Lu Buwei in advance!" "Joke!" Ying Zhu shook his head again and again, "My father values ​​Lu Buwei very much, do you understand?"

"Old father, Wang Muzheng, didn't follow the rules, you understand?" "Okay, okay, then what do you mean by 'those who should deal with it as soon as possible'?" "But I understand this. I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was afraid that you would say that I was looking for trouble. Got it?" Mrs. Huayang made an exception and lost the charming smile that often hung on her face. ?” "Young master, hehe." "Where is Xi'er now?" "It's too much to ask. Don't you practice in the mansion?" "Zi Chu is crowned as a heir, and he must return to live in the mansion. With Xi'er's impetuous and surly years, he will live in the elder..."

"Ma'am, you are saying that this is what the father means by dealing with those who are prepared?" "I've thought about it for a long time, but the mansion has to prepare for this matter in advance, there is nothing else." After a moment of silence, Ying Zhu let out a long sigh and slumped against the long table, actually let out a long snoring sound.Mrs. Hua Yang got up quietly and took a cloth robe from behind the big screen in the study, covered Ying Zhu lightly, and floated out soundlessly.As the sun was setting, Ying Zhu woke up and wiped the wet saliva from the corners of his mouth. After drinking a large cup of herbal tea, he left the study and headed for the Shuanglin Garden in the back garden. He didn't return to the study until midnight.

At five o'clock, the rooster crowed, and a car and a horse left the east gate of Xianyang and headed straight for Hangu Pass. General Meng Ao was surprised by the sudden arrival of Ying Zhu and his son.The law of the state of Qin: the prince is not allowed to join the army unless he obeys the king's order.Ying Zhu is an old prince, and he has a close family relationship with Meng Ao, isn't he afraid of breaking the law if he suddenly joins the army?Even though he thought so, after all, Meng Ao had been through the sea for a long time, and immediately set up a dust-cleaning army banquet in the narrow and simple shogunate of the Chinese army. The tents on all sides were opened wide. Soldiers, soldiers and officials can be seen vividly, and the banquet situation is well known to everyone.

"How does Mr. An know that the old man is at Hangu Pass?" Meng Ao laughed loudly after Yijue washed the dust and drank. "Where can the general go if he is not in the Lantian camp?" Ying Zhu also smiled loudly. "An Guojun, if you go hunting in Xiaoshan, I promise you three hundred bow horses." "It's not hunting, nor is it a mission. Yingzhu's visit is originally ordered by the king." "Say it earlier!" Meng Ao laughed loudly, turned around and waved his hand, "Military officials and soldiers will withdraw their accounts and go to the shogunate!"

"No need, no need, but I can't bear the heat and stuffiness, so it's just right." "That's fine! If it's not about confidentiality, it's fine for Mr. An to say what he wants." "This is the sixth son, do you still remember the old general?" "Of course I remember it! It's just that I haven't seen you for many years, and the young master is even more dignified." "This son is good at martial arts. I want to send him to practice in the army. What does the old general think?" "What's the point of joining the army!" Meng Ao said with emotion but his eyes flashed, "I remember that son Xi once won the hairpin for his meritorious service. According to the law, he can be a general of a thousand soldiers, or a military official. I don't know Mr. An What do you mean with your son?"

Before Ying Zhu could speak, Ying Xi abruptly stood up and bowed: "Report to the General: Ying Xi's title is not due to military exploits. Now that he is joining the army, he wishes to follow the example of those years ago and go straight to the army and be promoted by decapitation!" "Good ambition!" Meng Ao slapped the table in admiration, and immediately called the Sima of the Chinese Army loudly to order, "Register Ying Xi's military registration according to the law, hide the royal family name, distribute it to General Hanguguan, and handle it immediately!"

"Hi!" Sima of the Chinese army stood up and turned his head and said loudly, "Young master's name in the army, Qin Xi! If there is nothing else, follow me to the general shogunate at Hanguguan immediately!" "Hi!" Ying Xi Jiujiu turned around with a shout and strode out of the tent. "Wait!" Ying Zhu stood up with a wave and walked to the tent, took off the black embroidered gold cloak and put it on his son's shoulders silently, and then took off the short sword in his waist and stuffed it into his son's hand.Ying Xi noticed that her father's hands were trembling slightly, and her gray temples had aged a lot in an instant, and her heart couldn't help jumping violently!Hesitating for a moment, Ying Xi gritted his teeth and came back to his senses and smiled and said, "Father, this kind of thing is not suitable for soldiers." Then he tied his father's cloak and put on his dagger, then bowed deeply, "Your father is old. Be kind and cherish yourself!” Suddenly turned around and strode away.

"..." Ying Zhu staggered, but was perfectly supported by Meng Ao behind him. "Speaking of the royal family giving off a child, the ancestor, King Huiwen, has to be stubborn!" Meng Ao stopped with a sigh. Ying Zhu let out a long cry: "Brother Ao, I'm in so much pain! I just have no choice but to say..." That night, Meng Ao stayed with Ying Zhu until dawn.Ying Zhu has always believed in this meticulous and steady old general. Back then, he entrusted Ying Yiren to the Meng Mansion to study with Meng Wu's classmates, and now he entrusts Ying Xi to the Meng Ao Army to practice. It is really embarrassing to taste the taste. .Meng Ao was meticulous and thoughtful when he was in battle, but he was bold and honest when he met people. He laughed when he heard Ying Zhu's sighs, saying that the prince Ying Zhu did the easiest and hardest work. The easy ones are the strongest. Those who don't know the way!It was the first time Ying Zhu heard Meng Ao's remarks on state affairs, and he asked what it means to be unscrupulous?Meng Ao said, those who see from a distance are clear, and if they don’t know the way of mind, they will sell their spears and shields, hesitate and hesitate, and suffer for themselves; if they want to get the way of mind, there are only twelve words.Ying Zhu had heard many people plan and enlighten him, but Meng Ao was the only one who asked him to let nature take its course with his children and grandchildren. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion for a moment, and the sadness of sending Ying Xi into the army eased a lot, so he asked enthusiastically After Meng Ao's military plan, is it going to start fighting with the Six Kingdoms again?Meng Ao pondered for a while and then asked, if Mr. An is in power, how will the military struggle be arranged?Ying Zhu murmured suddenly, his father was in full swing, and he had never thought about governing.Meng Ao sighed, but he still couldn't help but speak out and criticize. Since he is the prince of the state, he should think about state affairs openly and aboveboard. Even if the old king lives long, he will die. Isn't it downhill!Feeling ashamed, Ying Zhu frankly asked Meng Ao for advice.Meng Ao said honestly, at present, the two counties of Shuba and Ba have become prosperous lands, and the state of Qin has slowed down. He plans to form a new army of 200,000 within three years, and another 200,000 within five years, so that Qin The total military strength of the country was restored to 600,000 before the Changping War.Meng Ao patted the big military case: "The old king's rest, one is to wait for the country to recover, and the other is to wait for the new king in the prime of life! If it is not the case, how can the army stand still? If you don't fight, fight in advance. After the death, Lao Wang Shengming is also!" Ying Zhu was very surprised: "The old general is following the order to expand the army?" Meng Ao shook his head mysteriously and smiled: "Why did the old man follow the order to expand the army? It is a plan, a plan!" "Ah ——" Ying Zhu suddenly laughed, "It's clear, it's just a plan, it's just a plan!" While talking, it was dawn, and taking advantage of the cool morning, Ying Zhu bid farewell to the gray-haired Meng Ao.However, Ying Zhu, who fell asleep suddenly and suddenly when he was on the road in the cart, did not feel sleepy this time anyway. Looking at the green field along the official road with endless streams of horses and pedestrians, Ying Zhu could smell the transpiration on the land of Qin country. For the first time, my mood, which has been depressed for many days, is relieved and brightened. There is a bright moon in the sky, clear water in the pool, a straw mat on the stone slab, and a cage of mosquito repelling green smoke in the brick stove.Lu Buwei was having a midnight snack in the back garden, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, just sitting up from the straw mat, the old boss Ximen had already arrived beside him. "Donggong, there is news from Mohu!" Old Ximen came trembling slightly. "Mohu! Is there any news?" Lu Buwei stood up abruptly. The old boss Ximen hurriedly said: "A black dog entered the village at dusk, and it swished around to search for it. The servants chased it around, but the black dog dodged and fled like a spirit ape. The old man had to report, but the black dog jumped out from nowhere. Sniffing around the old man, he squatted in front of the old man and growled for a while, hitting his neck with his front paws. When the old man looked at it, there was a thin string hidden in the black dog's neck hair. He boldly reached out and touched it, but the black dog remained motionless. The old man groped for a while among the long hairs under the black dog's neck, and found a leather rope tied with a bamboo tube as thick as an inch long pinky finger. He untied it and opened it, and there was only one line of small words: "Chu Geng followed Mo Mastiff Feng Jing" Taniguchi. I called the Black Mastiff, and the black dog stood up immediately, and I knew that the messenger had sent this spiritual mastiff to lead the way. The old man couldn't guess what happened, so he decided to test it first and then report to Donggong. After dark, the old man took A military servant supported a small boat and went to Fengjingkou, but who knew it was little Mohu..." "Where is the person first?" Lu Buwei patted the big banana fan a little impatiently. "The old man didn't dare to let her come back rashly, she is still at Fengjingkou." "Go! Pick her up." "Donggong, Mrs. Huayue was tortured and killed, and Qin Falian sat down. Is this okay?" "It was wrong to send Mohu to Mrs. Huayue at the beginning, and it was even more wrong not to take it back! Mohu is not an old member of the Mi family. Qin Fa even sat down, and he could still serve as a servant? Lu Buwei didn't even dare to take in the returned righteous servant. Where is it!" Lu Buwei walked while talking, and after a few words, he had already arrived at the gate of the back garden. "Don't go, Donggong, the light boat is at the garden pier." "I'm confused." Lu Buwei muttered to himself, and followed Mr. Ximen away. This new village was built under the mountain plateau on the south bank of the Weishui River. It looks plain from the outside, but it is actually full of mysteries.The most unique thing is that the travel passage is secret and convenient, and people, vehicles, horses and boats can go straight out of the manor from any corner.Although the pool in the back garden only has a water surface of more than 20 mu, it is three feet deep, and it leads directly to the Wei River through a very hidden cave and culvert.Lu Buwei's light boat has four strong sailors, and the garden and cave are as light as a land cart without sails.Entering the Weishui River from a forest of reeds, the light boat bulged a white sail, and came upstream through the waves by the wind.About half an hour into the mouth of Fengjing Valley, under the bright moon, the mountains and forests and canyons are secluded, and the lanterns on the three sides of the mountains that used to guide the night boats are completely gone. The old boss Ximen who was standing at the bow clapped his palms three times in succession, and called Mo Mastiff.After a moment of silence, I heard a slight swishing sound in the forest on the hillside, and a pair of green eyes suddenly flashed on the dark rocks on the bank!The old boss Ximen ordered to dock, and the boat swung past lightly.The old boss Ximen ordered the sailors to wait at the same place, and led Lu Buwei up the mountain road on the bank.The huge and mighty black mastiff was crouching in the middle of the road with its head held high, when it saw the two people coming ashore, it turned around and flew out.The old boss Ximen said in a low voice: "Mo Mastiff went to report the news, I'm afraid someone will come if he can't get to the 'Wang Dao' gate." "Is there anyone else in Fengjing Valley?" Lu Buwei couldn't help being a little surprised. "Several disabled old servants and the bearded girls bought at the beginning had nowhere to go, and Mohu led them to hunt and gather for a living." "Mohu was originally a bearded girl, so I have to take care of her!" While talking, he saw the ruined city gate of Wangdao standing tall in front of him under the hazy moonlight. Lu Buwei suddenly remembered the first time he met the graceful Mrs. Huayue here, and he couldn't help sighing.At this moment, a black shadow rushed out from the ruined city gate. The two of them were startled, and the black shadow crouched at Lu Buwei's feet, gasping for breath under the faint green light, but it was as motionless as a stone sculpture.Before the two could open their mouths, another red shadow suddenly floated out from the ruined city gate and fell on Lu Buwei! "gentlemen……" "Mohu, it's hard for you!" Lu Buwei lightly patted the trembling shoulder in his arms. "Mohu made a mistake, he should be punished!" Hong Ying suddenly threw himself on the ground. "Where are you talking?" Lu Buwei lifted Mo Hu and smiled, "Mrs. Huayue violated the law of Qin, but who can control her?" "No." Mo Hu repeatedly shook his head, "If I were here, I would definitely have a letter for you, sir. How could the emissary enter Handan without knowing it? How could Brother Jing Yun and the righteous cavalry go? ..." "It's unreasonable!" Lv Buwei scolded, "If someone is bad, I can avoid the disaster if I know it in advance! From now on, don't think about it like this! If you want to say guilty, Lu Buwei will be the first! I don't plan to do anything, what is the righteous man of the Jingyun horse team?" Can die miserably!" "Sir, don't be sad, I was wrong..." Mo Hu broke down in tears. "Mohu, you are brother Jingyun's adopted sister, and from now on you will be my own sister, Lu Buwei. Come, come home with me!" Mohu didn't move.Lu Buwei suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry, you little leader, all the maids and servants in Fengjingkou will go back, the disabled will support them for life, and the healthy will work. Father Ximen is worried that there will be no manpower in Xinzhuang!" "Sir..." Mohu choked up. "Is there anything else?" Lu Buwei stroked Mohu's long messy hair affectionately. "Mr. Mohu is deeply grateful for keeping those brothers and sisters. It's just that Mohu can't go back..." "Mohu! Why is this?" Lu Buwei was very surprised. "Sir!" Mo Hu cried out, turned around abruptly and left like the wind. The old boss of Ximen frowned: "Mohute is so weird! I also met with the old man here for a while and then left. Hey! The black mastiff didn't leave?" The crouching black dog let out a deep whine from its chest, stood up and shook With a heavy and thick tail, he lowered his head and licked Lu Buwei's feet.Lu Buwei couldn't help being terrified, and patted the black dog's huge head lightly: "Mo Mastiff, you lead the way, I'll go find Miss Mohu." Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow jumped out in front of him, turning his head while walking, The twists and turns led Lu Buwei and the two to a dark cave. "Woof, woof, woof!" cried three times, and Mo Mastiff shot in like an arrow. After a while, a lantern was hung at the entrance of the cave, and four women came out carrying two big brown boxes. The leader bowed deeply to Lu Buwei: "Sister Mohu said, give these two big brown boxes to Mr. Sir forgive her the crime of not returning." "Dare to ask Miss Sister, did Miss Mohu tell you to wait and follow me?" "Yes. But I can't stay in Qin with my husband." "But why?" "Sister Mohu is going back to the Yinshan Grassland, we are determined to escort Sister Mohu." "Wait a minute." Ximen boss shook his hand, "Mohu is very good at swordsmanship and riding, do you want an escort?" The woman was silent for a moment, looked at each other but said nothing.Lu Buwei became very suspicious, waved his hands and said decisively: "The old man wants to see Miss Mohu!" After saying that, he strode away.The woman blushed, and hurriedly stopped in front of the entrance of the cave and bowed down: "Mr. can't! Sister Mohu is suffering, please understand!" Lu Buwei said angrily: "Mohu was sent by me, and all the suffering is caused by me. How can I ignore it? Girl, get out of the way!" At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the hole, Mo Mastiff barked twice at the woman, turned around and bit Lu Buwei's lapel and pulled it.Lu Buwei said to leave, and Mo Mastiff turned around and walked into the cave.The four girls had no choice but to hold up the wind lantern and follow in. This cave is wide and deep, with twists and turns and irregularities. There are various small holes embedded in the mountain on both walls. It is obviously a natural cave that has been artificially repaired.Rotten wooden barrels of various colors can be seen everywhere in the corners of the cave, and there is a faint aroma that resembles wine but not wine.Lu Buwei guessed that this cave was probably the wine cellar of the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty.Such a cave with large and small holes intertwined repeatedly, if it weren't for the supernatural black mastiff to lead the way, Lu Buwei would not know what to do even if he entered it.After walking for a while, Mo Mastiff looked back and swished into a small hole on his left hand.Lu Buwei followed quickly, and under the faint candlelight, a red shadow could be seen on the straw mat in the corner of the cave. When he approached and looked closely, Lu Buwei couldn't help being shocked!A woman in a red skirt shrinks into a ball and trembles, her face is covered with a pale yellow bamboo mask, and the hair between her ears and temples is so white that it looks bloodless... "Mohu!" Lu Buwei screamed, leaned over to pick up the woman and turned around to leave, the buzzing voice kept echoing in the cave, "Father Ximen will leave the aftermath, and immediately send the leftovers from Fengjingkou back to Xinzhuang. The matter should be handled properly immediately. I will go back to the village by light boat to treat Mohu!" In the twilight, the light boat flew into the big pond in the back garden of Xinzhuang.Lu Buwei carried Mohu into his courtyard, ordered the servants not to mention what happened tonight to anyone, and then immediately called Chen Xuan who was sweeping the court to tell the story in a hurry.Chen Xuan looked at it for a moment and then said: "This girl...has been injured for a long time and lives in a damp place. She has lost both energy and blood, and she is unconscious. I will pour a bowl of Ganoderma lucidum soup for her before taking a bath and changing clothes. Husband just invite a famous doctor to treat her." gone." Lu Buwei pointed to the mask on Mohu's head and said, "If madam is confident, it's best not to hire an imperial physician." "I've trained as a female doctor, and I've seen a few mysteries, so it should be fine." Chen Xuan blushed and smiled, "Then you can go to work, just send a deacon who understands medicine to listen to my orders, if there is nothing unusual, It’s better to be late.” Lu Buwei went there anxiously, but he sat in the study but was absent-minded.Chen Xuan, who has always been calm and humble, said that three points are ten points, so there is no need to worry.Lu Buwei's turbulent heart is the secret of Mohu's situation and the various unknown personnel that may be involved.Mo Hu was recommended by Jing Yun. Since Mo Hu already knew the tragedy of Jing Yun's group of righteous men, is her mask related to the masks of Jing Yun's martyrs?Lu Buwei's heart trembled violently when he suddenly thought of Yue Jianwu who could have been immortal but had no hesitation to cut himself open.Father Ximen said at the beginning that Mo Hu is Jing Yun's righteous sister, so it is hard to guarantee that she is not the lover who loves Jing Yun, and it is also difficult to guarantee that she is not the sister of a righteous man in Jing Yun's cavalry. If she wants to go with Jing Yun, why does Lu Buwei Facing the invisible and disfigured Ren Xia martyrs who died tragically?No!Mohu must not die! In the afternoon, the old boss of Ximen came to report with sweat profusely: a total of 16 remaining servants from Fengjing Valley returned to Xinzhuang by boat; only the black mastiff guarded Mrs. Huayue's cemetery, and no one could persuade them. A Hu girl said that if Mohu was there, she might be able to take it away. After Mrs. Huayue died, Mo Mastiff only listened to Mohu's orders. "Father Ximen, don't tell anyone about Fengjing Valley." "I understand." "Has Jing Yun ever talked about Mo Hu and him?" Old Ximen shook his head: "Justice Jingyun has only one sentence: Sir, if you get this daughter, you will be able to live and die." "Think about it, Dad, Mohuke looks similar to that righteous man?" Old Ximen thought for a while and then shook his head: "No one in the horse team has a real face, and I really can't see it." "Madam Huayue has a lot of tricks, so my father will take a few people to survey Fengjing Valley carefully." "Okay! The old man will go tonight." Suddenly twilight fell and the evening glow shone through the window, and a maid came to report that his wife had an invitation for the year.Lu Buwei got up and left, hurried to the living courtyard, and Chen Xuan who was waiting in the porch led him into a small room with curtains on all sides.The couch is hung with a white gauze curtain, and the slender figure lying peacefully in the tent can be faintly seen.Chen Xuan said in a low voice: "I'm fine now, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into a coma for a day or two." Lu Buwei said: "Aren't you afraid of getting sick from the heat?" Chen Xuan blushed and smiled: "Do you know why? ? Go back to the room and say." Then he dragged Lu Buwei to his dormitory. Chen Xuan said that this girl Mohu had an old injury half a year ago, but the immediate danger was blood ulcers during childbirth. If she hadn't brought it back in time, she might be dead at this moment; the bamboo mask has been taken off, and there is no damage on her face. Like, only to find that there is a brand of Qin Ban on the sideburns and hairlines, and there are two cyan marks on the thorns of the thighs that look like words but not pictures, which is shocking!Chen Xuan sighed quietly, saying that she remembered that there were many nobles in Chen and Chu countries who branded their female slaves, but this girl Mohu was a Hu girl from Yinshan Mountain, so why did she have such branding marks? "Madam, can you remember the pattern of the imprint?" Lu Buwei's face was livid. "I can't tell the difference at the hairline, but I remember at the base of the legs." Chen Xuan dipped in tea and began to draw on the case. "Yi family! Ancient script!" "Yi family? Is it the Yi Dun family, a giant merchant in the Chu Kingdom?" "Yes!" Lu Buwei gritted his teeth, "This tribe has a history of vicious habits, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!" "That clearly means that Mohu used to be a slave girl of the Yidun tribe." Lu Buwei thought for a while: "Martyr Jing Yun used to do hard labor in the prison camp of Qi State. Could it be that he met Wu Yue prisoners there and was entrusted to rescue Mo Hu after he escaped? I can't tell. I should wait for her to wake up and ask slowly." .” "In my opinion, the most important thing is to look for the child. She gave birth just two days ago..." "Ah! Confused!" Lu Buwei stomped his feet and walked away, but when he came to the big pool, he saw that the light boat had already left, so he ordered another small boat that usually goes to Xianyang to transport goods, jumped on it, said Feng Jinggu, and ordered the boat to sail.The cargo ship was heavy, and it took an hour to travel upstream to reach the entrance of Fengjing Valley.He was about to abandon the boat and go ashore, but he heard that the footsteps on the mountain road were hurried, and the old boss Ximen was coming towards him with a burden. "What is dad holding?" "An abandoned baby! It's still alive, it's as hot as coals! I'm about to take the light boat back to the village first." "Very good! I'll take it back and talk about it when you come back after you finish the survey." After saying that, he took the burden and jumped into the light boat. Four sailors swung eight oars, and the boat went straight down like an arrow. Back in Xinzhuang, Lu Buwei immediately gave the baby to Chen Xuan who was waiting.Surprised and delighted, Chen Xuan was in a hurry to give acupuncture and medicine to the baby whose lips were already blue and purple. After a while, the baby let out a cry, and the two laughed happily. !Seeing his wife flustered but giggling excitedly, Zhuo Zhao suddenly appeared in front of Lu Buwei's eyes. If she were her, would she do the same? In the middle of the night, the boss of Ximen came back and said that he had searched all the ruined caves and Mrs. Huayue's courtyard where people in Fengjing Valley could go and walk, and found nothing suspicious. It's just that Fengjing Valley is too big, and it's best if Mohu recovers from his injuries Then lead people to search carefully, and if you search blindly, there may be no clues in January or two.Lu Buwei waved his hands with a smile and shouted God's will!Said that the baby was found, and I have nothing to do with the rest. I don't need to bother, I just urge Mr. Ximen to tell me how to find the baby. Mr. Ximen said, the baby was discovered quite strangely!He was taking two beard girls to search a cave where Mrs. Huayue often went to cool off, but he saw a black shadow rushing into the wine cellar cave like lightning.One of the bearded girls called Mo Mastiff, and another bearded girl said she saw that Mo Mastiff seemed to be holding a living thing in its mouth!Old Ximen's heart moved, and he led two bearded girls into the big cave with lanterns.The two Hu girls walked and shouted, Mo Mastiff, Mo Mastiff, where are you?Come out soon.There was no movement in the cave.The old Ximen suddenly remembered that the miraculous black mastiff seemed to be very familiar with and trusted his smell when he delivered the letter, so he stood in the cave and said loudly, "The black mastiff came out, the old man was sent by Mohu, I will not wait for the things you take care of." moveable.After saying this three times, a black shadow suddenly came out of a small hole, crouched at the foot of Old Ximen, whimpering in a low voice.Old Ximen took out from his leather bag the sweat towel that Lu Buwei had thrown on the straw mat when he took Mohu away from the cave. Mo Mastiff raised his big black nose, stood up, wagged his tail and walked deep into the cave. .Old Ximen followed a small hole, and couldn't help being surprised!The foot of the small hole is covered with a thick layer of thatch, and a baby with red and purple spots all over is lying naked on a small dirty quilt, and a wild sheep with swollen teats is lying next to it!At the corner of the wall was an ancient car with axles that had turned into a rotten wood shape but could still be seen faintly. The black body still had a little bit of blood splashed on it!For a moment, the three of them were stunned. "Mo Mastiff, the abandoned baby is still alive! You are a righteous dog!" Old Ximen praised. The black mastiff's thick tail didn't move, it just looked at the boss indifferently. A careful bearded girl cried out: "The wild goat's breasts are swollen, and the baby is not breastfeeding!" "Mo Mastiff, wild goat's milk is hard to feed after all, how about taking him away?" Mo Mastiff suddenly pulled the sweat towel in Old Ximen's hand, barking twice.Old Ximen's heart brightened, he shook his sweat towel and pointed at the baby: "Mo Mastiff, is he her baby?" Mo Mastiff barked twice again.In an instant, old Ximen couldn't help crying, and hugged the huge dog's head tightly: "Mo Mastiff, Mo Mastiff, I will definitely take him back and hand him over to her to support him! You, too, went with the old man." Mo Mastiff Rubbing his big head against Old Ximen's chest, his big green eyes were wet, he shook his tail and stopped making a sound. Old Ximen said that Mo Mastiff followed him to the valley entrance, turned around and ran away when he heard Lu Buwei speak.Before they left, they didn't see Mo Mastiff, so they found Mrs. Hua Yue's cemetery. As expected, Mo Mastiff was curled up in front of the tombstone alone, with big green eyes puffy, and no one could persuade him to get up.Lu Buwei was deeply moved after hearing this, and remained silent for a long time. Three days later, Mohu finally woke up completely, and his face flushed again.In the afternoon of this day, Lu Buwei ordered Mr. Ximen to guard the gate of Neizhuang, and anyone who came to visit would only say that he had entered Xianyang City, and when he was settled, he went to the secluded ward in the back garden with Chen Xuan.Mo Hu, who was leaning on the big pillow of the couch, burst into tears when he saw Lu Buwei, struggling to get up and salute.Lu Buwei hurriedly stepped forward and suppressed his smile: "Today I'm just talking gossip, the girl wants to be more polite, so I have to go." Chen Xuan also came over and said with a smile: "Young lady just rely on talking, everything is up to me." The curtain opened the window to make some tea, and then brought a pot of soup for Mo Hu to drink. Then he said with a smile, "Wait, I'll call Xiao Yinzi to take care of me. I have something to do." The clever girl hurried away.Seeing that Mo Hu was only choking with tears, Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Mo Hu, don't feel guilty. As I said, you are my sister. Why should a sister-in-law take care of my sister-in-law's sick bed?" Mo Hu choked up and said: " Sir, you are righteous and virtuous, don't be unworthy." Lu Buwei sighed quietly: "It's difficult! If the girl has other secrets, Buwei will not force it. If you say worthy or not, the girl is speaking too seriously. God was born as a man, originally First class, if it wasn't for the injustice of the world, why would there be any high or low? Brother Jing Yun and the martyrs in the cavalry have no inhuman experience, but they are both Lu Buwei's life and death friends, and they love each other like flesh and blood, so what is worthy or not?" Mo Hu was silent for a while, Suddenly raised her head but talked about her experience after being sent away by her husband. Mo Hu said, since she arrived in Fengjing Valley, she has become Mrs. Huayue's housekeeper.Mrs. Huayue has a clan member who works as a scribe in the study of the royal family, and is in charge of engraving imperial edicts. Therefore, Mrs. Huayue knows in advance that Ying Yiren has established a secret edict.This is what Mohu found out later.Mrs. Huayue and Mrs. Huayang secretly negotiated and planned. Mrs. Huayue informed Mohu intentionally, and asked Mohu to try to tell Lu Buwei to prepare in advance.Ke sent his brother as a "special envoy" to Handan, but Mrs. Huayue did not hide it from Mohu.When Mo Hu was about to send out the pigeons, he accidentally learned about the "special envoy" from a personal maid, and he was immediately suspicious. , I decided to go north to talk about the details in person. At this time, Mrs. Huayue sent Mohu to take six capable servants to go south in winter to handle three important things in spring: one is to pick and fry Zhenze spring tea in Wuyue; the other is to go to Jingshan to buy jade and jewelry in the style of Chu , and used Jingshan jade to polish three sets of jade pendants with inscriptions for Zichu; the most important thing was to purchase authentic Chusi according to Mrs. six sets.Mrs. Huayue repeatedly told him that this was a gift she and Mrs. Huayang had prepared for Zi Chu Guiqin.Mohu couldn't shirk, so he set off at the end of the twelfth lunar month.As soon as the light boat was launched, Mo Hu made an appointment with the servants to meet at the largest tea shop in Zhenze on February 15th, and then immediately rushed to Handan on a solo gallop.At that time, Lu Buwei and Mr. Ximen happened not to be in Cangguxi, and Mo Hu, who was on a tight schedule, rushed to the horse team camp to find Jing Yun.After staying for three days, the Canggu River was still empty, so Mohu had no choice but to tell Jing Yun about everything and hurried south.In February, he reunited with the servants, and at the end of March, the spring tea was transported to the north by boat, and Mohu went to Jingshan, and after the jade and jewelry were ordered, he went to Yingdu.After finishing the first-class affairs, it was already the hot summer of June, and it was already the end of July when I returned to Xianyang.The desolation of Fengjing Valley shocked Mo Hu, and she wanted to find Lu Buwei immediately, but the tragic situation of the remaining sisters made her unable to bear to leave suddenly. "Such a big change, Mohu really didn't expect..." "Mohu, the past is over! It's okay not to talk about it." Lu Buwei sighed, "I just want to ask one thing, you can say it if you can, and don't say it if you can't. Don't be embarrassed. You are in the body of childbirth, that baby , but after Big Brother Jing Yun?" All of a sudden, Mo Hu felt like being shocked by an electric shock, and fell down on the couch with a groan!Chen Xuan arrived just in time, and rescued him softly and skillfully, and Mohu cried out, "Sir! Is my son still there?" Lu Buwei gave a wink, and Chen Xuan floated out lightly, and in a short while brought a fiery red baby boy. The swaddling baby was handed to the bed with a smile.Mohu hugged the baby tremblingly, looked at the rosy sleeping face in the swaddling baby, and crazily shook the baby, crying and laughing.While Chen Xuan comforted him gently, he took over the swaddling baby and gave the baby urine and medicine, and Mo Hu gradually calmed down. Mo Hu said that her family was all slaves bought by Yi Dun, a great merchant from Chu State.Her parents were ship slaves in the Yidun Trading Company, and both died in the sea wind and shipwreck when she was eight years old.As a young girl, she was favored by a son of the Yidun clan, who wanted to accept her as a bedside slave for branding.She said that as long as the young master takes a boat out to sea to retrieve her parents' remains for burial, she will brand her into the house, otherwise she would rather die than become a brand slave!Two years later, the son did not go to sea, but saw that she had grown into a slim young girl, so he poured drugs on her in a dark night and branded her as a slave girl.Just when she was in so much pain that she would starve herself to death without eating or drinking, it was also a dark night. A masked man in black with miraculous kung fu broke into the door, killed three guard swordsmen in a row, cut off the chains and rescued her. .The masked man took her to a dense forest camp on the outskirts of Chencheng, and showed her the bamboo slips that her parents left for a charity merchant before they went to sea. On the bamboo slips was a little girl who would never be anyone else except her. Next to it was a black horse galloping in a meadow; he took her to a hidden valley and looked at a strange-shaped loess mound, saying that this was the burial place of her parents, but because she was not rescued, they were buried in a crude way. After she was rescued, she was identified and reburied.When the tomb was opened during the Ching Ming Festival and the thin coffin was opened, the parents' corpses not only did not rot, but their eyes were wide open as if they were alive!Mohu cried so hard that she was about to jump into the grave to go with her parents. If the masked man hadn't hugged her tightly and treated her in various ways, she would have cried to death even if she didn't die at that time. One month later, she was sent to the Yinshan Grassland by Brother Jing Yun, and entrusted to a leader of the Linhu tribe, who asked a Central Plains scholar to teach her how to read and read, and promised to pick her up when she grew up.The leader called a group of his daughters and told them with a straight face that he had a new daughter and whoever dares to bully her will be killed!From then on, she started a life of riding a horse, studying and watching cattle and sheep in the grassland, but she always felt empty in her happy life.Five years later, the masked man really came and asked her if she would go to the Central Plains with him.Without saying a word, she threw herself into the masked man's arms and cried.Later, she learned that the masked man was called Jing Yun, and the knights of the dense forest cavalry called her big brother.She willingly washed and cooked for them, and practiced swordsmanship with the knights who took turns in the kitchen.Jing Yun also went to the kitchen to cook once a month, and gradually became acquainted with her.Jing Yun said that she has aura, and it would be a pity to be buried in the kitchen. She insisted on letting her live on a single bill, and only taught the knights to read and write.Soon, Mohu understood that this was a caravan escort, and the most important thing was to go out to listen to the road news, and the most important thing was to escort the caravan from being robbed.Mohu was not willing to sit in a tent all day to study and teach, so he found various excuses to go to the Jingyun tent to help him with chores, and went out with the scout knights to explore the way if he had nothing to do.She is smart and clever, and she can speak and write from all over the world at once, and she has become the little "generalist" loved by everyone in the cavalry. Later, she followed the horse team to the dense forest camp on the outskirts of Handan.Once, Jing Yun asked her if she would like to be a personal maid for a high scholar he admired?莫胡只说了一句话:“大哥让我做事,不要问我愿不愿意。”半月后,她便跟着一个白发苍苍的老人到了邯郸胡寓……离开荆云,莫胡却蓦然觉得自己竟深深爱慕着那个始终蒙面的荆云大哥。从沣京谷南下的时候,她心神不宁,总有一种不祥的预感,觉得自己再也见不到荆云大哥了。心潮实在不能自已,她终于从空荡荡的仓谷溪飞马冲进了密林营地。那一夜,她缠着荆云终夜饮酒,两人说了许许多多的话,边饮边说,荆云终于醉了。她几乎没有丝毫犹豫羞怯,从容脱去了自己与荆云的全身衣物,紧紧抱着荆云钻进了大被之中…… “天意也!荆云义士有后了!”吕不韦喜极而泣跳了起来。 “莫胡呵,你儿子该有个好名字也!”陈渲也咯咯笑了起来。 “请先生赐个名了。”莫胡红着脸低了头。 “不不不!莫胡自己起!父母命名,善莫大焉!” 莫胡思忖一阵低声道:“我生他时,那个洞中有辆接轴古车,就叫荆轲如何?” “荆轲!好!便是荆轲!”吕不韦拍案大叫。 襁褓婴儿哇地一声大哭,响亮得屋中嗡嗡震响不绝!陈渲惊讶笑道:“哟!这小子哭声厉得紧!晓得无,准是个硬种儿了!”三人便一齐大笑起来。
