Chapter 54: This is my concubine

“Who dares to search Little Master’s car!” The Crown Prince let out a clear cry and lifted the curtain to step out of the carriage.

The carriage was surrounded by the soldiers of the Military Horse Division, the leader of which was riding on a red bay horse, and it was Shi Lezhi, the commander of the East City Military Horse Division. Before he was ordered to search the east city area of the inner city, see late at night on the empty street, only a carriage galloping recklessly, feel suspicious, so he brought his men to stop the carriage, want to search the car.

The driver of the car was a chamberlain of the Eastern Palace, and having been instructed by the young master not to reveal his identity, he kindly persuaded them that there were nobles in the car, and that it was not advisable to alarm them, and asked them to get out of the way.

Shi Lezhi thought: in the middle of the night in the street driving, can be what a nobleman, besides, even if the car people have an official position, can be more expensive than the in-laws of the dowager empress, your consort’s own uncle Feng’an Marquis?

So he was determined to search the car. He also put the intention of soliciting bribes in his words and used his power to oppress others, which annoyed the driver of the car and reported to the Lord.

The young man in the car appeared, called himself “little master”, the Shi Lezhi startled a big jump. He is only six rank military officer, where have seen the real face of the Prince, even the East Palace waist plate has not seen. Do not dare to salute to see the ride, afraid of being swindled, adding to the laughing stock; and do not dare to directly treat each other as a liar, I heard that today’s Crown Prince is heavy hearted, is an unruly, in case it is really the Crown Prince out of the palace at night? At once, the left and right difficult.

A deputy commander beside him reminded in a low voice, “This matter is urgent, why don’t we let my subordinate report to the Marquis and see how he instructs. Anymore, the Marquis always knows the truth.”

Shi Lezhi nodded repeatedly and told him to hurry up. This side dealt with the Prince who did not know whether it was true or not, and said the words back and forth in a cartwheel, only refusing to give way.

Feng An Marquis House is not far from here, Wei Joon heard the report, the heart of the great joy – this Prince if it is fake, that is the great case of deceiving the king, fall in his hands, is not a great achievement; if it is really Zhu Helin himself, late at night, privately away from the palace, the wild costume play, held absurd misdemeanor, just tomorrow authorized to tie him to his speech officer, impeachment in the court fiercely, to shake the throne of the Eastern Palace, and the East Palace. Shake the throne of the Eastern Palace.

Whether it is or not, it is a rare opportunity for him. Wei Jun didn’t care about the ghostly assassin, and ordered all the family guards to rush to the scene with great fanfare.

–

King Yu was true to his word and ordered ten treasured banknotes with a denomination of one hundred guan to be fetched and handed over to Xiyan in a box.

Xiyan took the box and hugged it tightly in his arms, glanced fearfully at Wu Ming, and begged, “This good man is going to take me away, Your Majesty be gracious and save the little man!”

King Yu kindly laughed: “Hasn’t the Lone King’s favor already been given to you? How can you come to ask for it again. Seek your own happiness.” He waved his hand to drive the guests away, and Wu Ming immediately picked up Xiyan’s back collar, still scaling the wall out of the royal residence.

Xiyan then realized that there is no life to spend money, take the money is useless, can not help but regret and fear, whimpering and crying.

He is accustomed to singing opera, crying with opera, a wave of twists and turns, listening to Wu Ming goosebumps shaking off the ground, if not for the revenge of the big event, early he threw him from the mid-air, self-sustaining to go.

Flying through a few streets, Xiyan is still crying. Wu Ming can not help but begin to doubt, mixed into the theater assassination, is simply a next best thing – this theater as timid as a mouse, where is a cover, I’m afraid that once you see the old thief Wei will be cowed, and even tired of their own failure.

But if this pillar is missing, who is going to sing? It’s not good for him to put on a costume and makeup and go on stage, is it?

Wu Ming frowned in annoyance, suddenly heard a faint clamor in the distance, in the quiet of the night spread far, his ears are too strong, listen carefully, suspected that it is the Bing Ma Si patrol of the pavement soldiers.

I’m not sure if I can refuse to give you a ride when you’ve left me at home, but I’m sure I can refuse. Now that the young master has returned to the palace, the Marquis of Feng’an is still relentless in his pursuit, one cannot help but suspect that the rumors circulating up and down the countryside are not false, and that the Marquis has a penchant for robbing the people’s wives, and refuses to let go of even the official family members!”

“Bullshit!” Wei Jun was so furious that his goatee was fluttering, “It’s clearly you who misbehaved and seduced the Crown Prince into staying out at night with a prostitute, and you still dare to slander this Marquis with your nonsense!”

Su Yan laughed coldly: “Marquis in order to plunder beauty, really do anything! Well, you had to rob me of my concubine, my humble servant is weak and can’t beat these houseguests, so I can only let you bully me.”

He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, “Right now it’s half past midnight, and it’s only more than an hour from the fifth watch of the night, so I’ll move to the noon gate, and I’ll still be able to make it in time to beat the Dengwen Drum again!”

When Wei Jun heard Su Yan mention knocking on the Deng Wen Drum, he immediately remembered that a month ago in the morning court, Feng Deiye was madly impeached by him for twelve major crimes, and he was forced into a desperate situation by the sword of the lips.

Su Yan became famous in the battle, and was nicknamed “Su XII” inside and outside the court.

Wei Jun knew that the vegetarian behavior is bad, and thought: could it be that he has also collected my handle, and is going to beat the drum to break through the Fengtian Gate again, and also impeach me for a twelve Chen, twenty four Chen …… and then brush a wave of prestige?

The more he thought about it, the more vain he became, his eyes flickering and uncertain.

“If you don’t do anything wrong, why should you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Su Yan added insult to injury and said, “The official’s new concubine, the marquis still want it?”

“–Keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly!” Wei Joon snorted angrily and whisked his sleeve to beat his horse away. The household guards rushed after him and left.

Su Yan closed the car door tightly, which loosened his hand.

Wu Ming lifted his head from the nape of his neck, not knowing if he was holding back or annoyed, his face flushed slightly.

Su Yan smiled at him in embarrassment, “I’ve wronged you to be a concubine for a time, things are urgent, don’t mind.”

Wu Ming did not speak, looking sideways at the compartment wall, his fingers rubbing back and forth unconsciously on the hilt of his sword.

Su Yan asked, “What are your plans for the future, will you continue to assassinate Wei Joon?”

Wu Ming replied, “Either he dies or I die!”

Su Yan sighed softly, “I said, give me some more time and I will bring him down. You don’t believe me?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe it, but …… don’t want to fake it.”

“By killing him, you are seeing him put to death for a personal grudge, and at best you are only taking his life. And only by exposing his crime, announcing it to the world, and being reviled by ten thousand people, can he be duly punished.”

Wu Ming again silent. Su Yan knows that he lost his loved ones, the heart knot is deep, not a few words can melt, so we can only stop for the time being, and then slowly persuade later.

The night road was spacious, and the coachman sped up, arriving at his mansion in Huanghuafang in a short time.

Su Yan stiffly pulled Wu Ming out of the car and went up to knock on the door.

Without knocking twice, the courtyard door immediately opened. Su Xiaojing had been sitting at the door for half the night, and when he saw his master come home, his heart was finally put back into his stomach, and he happily called out, “His Lordship is back!” He also turned his head towards Su Xiao Bei who came in a brisk pace and said, “Brother Bei, His Lordship is back, and he even brought back a hostess!”

Su Xiaobei saw the woman with fancy dress and cloaked hair beside the master, and was a little dissatisfied in her heart: what kind of master mother, dressed in such a flirtatious and immodest manner, I am afraid it is not that prodigal hoof outside the house!

His footsteps also slowed, and he reluctantly came over to greet him, asking Su Yan: “Is this a madam, aunt, or your lordship’s concubine, and what etiquette should I perform?”

Su Yan glanced at Wu Ming’s stiff and cold face and couldn’t help but laugh, urging, “This is this official’s new concubine.”
