Chapter Eighteen

Plum Blossom Banquet (Part 1)

Xianyang Street.

The envoys to Beijing temporarily live in the mansion, Zhongfu.

With his hands behind his back, Zhong Hui kept wandering around the room with a sad face, "Why haven't you come back, why haven't you come back, why haven't you come back..."

Zhong Hui was muttering something, seeing that it was dark and the snow was falling heavily, Fei was never seen.

"Master," the maidservant reported at the door, "you can have dinner."

"Get lost!" Zhong Hui was furious.

The maid immediately turned and left, not daring to speak.

"Zhong Hui, why are you losing your temper?" A low laugh came from behind.

Zhong Hui turned around abruptly, seeing Zhong Hui drinking his own tea while tapping his legs, he rushed forward angrily, and snatched the teacup away!

"What on earth do you want to do!" Zhong Hui roared in a low voice, "When did you come to Capital? What exactly does Nalan Cuo want you to do! Do you know that it is taboo to lure assassins into the city without permission!"

Fei waved his hand, and drank tea casually from this teapot, "You don't need to worry about it, so-and-so is here to resign today."

Zhong Hui immediately said: "Then you go!"

Fei smiled, "No rush, I need to ask you about something."

Zhong Hui looked at Fei vigilantly, "What's the matter?"

He flew up and put his arms around his chest, "Do you still remember Prince Jiang Guo?"

Zhong Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "What am I supposed to be? Didn't the First Prince Xi Jiang fall off a cliff and died six years ago on the way to Capital?"

Fei smiled slowly.

Zhong Hui cupped his hands in the direction of the Son of Heaven, "The Great King Ji died in the same year, and His Majesty sympathized with Xi Jiang Prince when he was young, so he sent ministers to assist the government. How could he forget? Why did you bring this up?"

He turned around quickly, a silver light flashed in his sleeve, and the blade of the dagger was pressed against Zhong Hui's neck!

"You you you! Assassin fly! Do you want to murder the imperial court official!" Zhong Hui turned pale with fright.

Fei twitched the corner of his mouth and put away his dagger, "I really want to kill you with one knife."

Zhong Hui: "You—"

Fei fell out of the front hall, turned around and disappeared into the night, a cold voice came from the darkness: "If you ask nonsense, tomorrow will kill you."

"Everyone in Xi Jiang knows that they have a sworn feud with Qin and Zhou. Why do you want to buy your life for the Han people?" Fei sat on a tree branch, holding a bamboo leaf in his mouth carelessly, and healed the right vein with his left handGo to the doctor.

Ji Si sweeps under the tree, rolls up her sleeves with loops, sweeps off the fallen snow on the flowers and plants with a bamboo brush, and pours some water, not catching flying words.

Fei thought to himself and said: "Back then, Qin Bian wanted the eldest prince of Xi Jiang, Capital, as a hostage. Who would have thought that the prince died on the road, and the country lost its heir.In collusion with the Yuan people, they acted first, forcing the Yuan people into Jiangdi, and then sent Ji Wuming to personally conquer, who knew that the king was also dead, this is the second hatred.

"The third hate is that Qin Bian saw that Xi Jiang had only an eleven-year-old second prince left, and he could not let Xi Jiang send someone as a hostage, so he sent the emperor's ministers to the south to assist the young monarch with an imperial decree, with the intention of emptying Xijiang.The third hate."

"Tell me, how many people in Xi Jiang died in the battle of Wushan, and you don't know? Have you forgotten the hatred of the country and the family?" Fei looked at Ji Si, took off the bamboo leaf between his lips, and threw it at her as a hidden weapon."Hey, talk."

Ji Si tilted her head to dodge, but was unable to dodge in time, and the cloth on her shoulder was pierced by a bamboo leaf.

"Speak directly." Ji Si said calmly, picking up the scissors to cut off the cold and dry flowers and branches in winter.

Fei said, "Go and help me steal the antidote."

Ji Si: "I can't do it."

Fei jumped off the branch, his footsteps were light, but the branches and leaves did not move at all, "Then I will just blindly poison you to death."

Ji Si: "Then you will taste the pain of heart addiction, and die in pain when your heart rots into a honeycomb."

Fei covered his heart, snorted and approached Ji Si, "Seeing that you look good, why don't you give me your body? Help me get the antidote back, and let's go have a good time again?"

Ji Si frowned, picked up a ladle, quickly scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on Fei, "Get lost."

Fei Lanlan dodged and scolded: "Stupid, you are blind for nothing. But your young lady is also good-looking, delicate and weak, but she doesn't seem to care about you very much. She has been away from the house for a few days.Won't you send a letter back?"

Ji Si didn't pay attention to him, the servants in the outer courtyard talked back and forth, exchanged a few words with Ji Si, took a curious look at Fei and left.

Fei: "Look at how well organized your house is, you really can't use it as an outer room for someone?"

Ji Si took off the loops, went to the study room, arranged the books and pens bought two days ago one by one, and then practiced calligraphy.Fei followed in, took out a book that was about to be turned to pieces, and threw it on the table, "Assassin's mind, take it and read."

Ji Si picked up the book, walked to the side of the couch and sat down to read it.

Fei: "...you can take it easy and let it go. Unlike the Qin and Zhou people, who claim to be gentlemen, who only use swords, do all kinds of despicable and nasty things, and don't admit to doing them."

Ji Siwu memorized the exercises by herself, seeing that she looked like a log, she was really speechless, so she went to practice in the courtyard.Ji Si crossed her arms, while watching him practice, while combining her inner feelings.

"Not as good as a sword." Ji Si said.

"Not as good as a sword?" Fei made a stop, and changed his move to attack in an instant. "Look at my move, confuse the enemy, is it a surprise?"

Ji Si pulled the corner of her mouth: "Despicable and dirty."

Fei laughed loudly, "You have good muscles and bones, like this bamboo."

The two looked at the rustling bamboo forest in the courtyard together, tough as reeds and tall and straight as pine.

"Girl," Uncle King hurried forward with a box in his arms and handed it to Ji Si, "Miss sent someone to deliver it."

Ji Si took it, and opened the arm-long box, and there was a sword lying inside.The sword body is as thin as a piece of paper, it is double-edged, regardless of the blade's front and the sword's back, the whole body is glowing with cold light, and there is no scabbard.

Fei took a look: "It's a soft sword."

Ji Si pulled it out, "There is no scabbard."

Fei Le: "Soft sword, you are the sheath."

Ji Si looked at the blade of the sword, flicked her wrist skillfully, the skirt of the robe flew, and the sword made a sharp sound, and it bent into a full moon, tightly bound around Ji Si's waist, which looked nothing like a belt.different.

Uncle King said: "Miss has a message, so you don't hurt yourself."

"Ahem!" Qin Jun sneezed, and walked out of Baibao Pavilion in embarrassment with his dusty hair on his head.

Jin Xiu hangs an arm, "Princess."

Qin Jun waved her hand: "It's okay, I searched all over, except for some books and a sword, there is nothing else."

Xiao Taozi supported the ladder and said, "Princess, there is a dark floor in the attic of the library, how did you know?"

Qin Jun climbed down the ladder step by step, and put the book wrapped in her skirt on the ground, "Tianji, don't ask, cover this up, did you send the sword?"

Jin Xiu said: "Send it."

Qin Jun nodded, "When she flies away, teach her to use a sword."

Jin Xiu hesitated: "Assassins and swordsmen are naturally hostile. One is righteous and the other is evil. They have different minds. How can they practice together?"

"Isn't it better to be both good and evil?" Qin Jun smiled brightly, "Isn't that soft sword better to hide than a dagger? Hiding it on the waist or wrist, if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. This is not the way of a gentleman., I will examine myself three times a day, will I introspect and police myself?"

Qin Jun patted her skirt and took off the spider silk from her head, "Isn't the Li family's swordsmanship passed on?"

Jin Xiu then said: "Anyone under the Son of Heaven can learn this sword technique, unlike assassins who only hide their secrets."

Little Taozi asked curiously, "Then why doesn't the princess learn? She even gave the sword away."

Jinxiu: "Women live comfortably indoors and don't protect their home and country, so they don't need to learn. Unlike Xi Jiang, the hometown of assassins, men, women and children are not shy, and their methods are despicable when they assassinate."

No wonder assassins and swordsmen are natural enemies, Qin Jun smiled.

Xiao Taozi asked: "Then how can Jin Xiu make a sword?"

Jin Xiu looked at Xiaotao: "I stole it one after another, and I wanted to go to war with the army one after another. I stole the secrets and tricks, and then sneaked into the army. Jin Xiu can't abandon her master and practice hard day and night."

Qin Jun pursed her lips, and her smile faded: "Go back and wash my palace first, I don't know if there are bugs, and my back is a little itchy."

Xiaotao immediately yelled: "Hurry up, this servant will tell people to go back to the palace to prepare water!"

Qin Jun took a bath and changed her clothes. Just after changing her clothes, she took a breath, and saw the palace maid holding more than a dozen greeting cards to Qin Jun.

Xiao Taozi took it and unfolded it in front of Qin Jun. Qin Jun looked at it and said puzzledly: "Young lady Capital is very leisurely and leisurely. In this cold weather, there is still a plum blossom banquet."

Jin Xiu flipped through other posts, "Princess, it's all about the plum blossom feast."

Xiao Taozi said: "This is exactly the communication in the women's courtyard."

Qin Jun gasped, "Can't you go?"

The maid who handed the invitation was Xing'er, who was Qin Jun's eldest court lady like Xiaotao, and said, "Princess, Concubine Ji has been busy with the Yuan Day Conference and has been meeting the princes and the female family members of the county guard's family.gone."

Qin Jun: "...is there no empress in the harem who can preside over the procession of honor?"

Xing'er: "Princess Hui, they are all below the rank of concubine, and their status is not high. Before the orders of princes, princesses and three princes, they can't speak."

"..."

"This is a post from me. You send it to the host who is hosting the plum blossom banquet." Ji Si sent the post to Zhang Yao.

Holding the famous post, Zhang Yao faltered.

Ji Si: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yao then said: "Girl, I heard from the Uncle King that the plum blossom feast is attended by noble women, can we... can we get in?"

Ji Si curled her lips, "Why is it so serious? Didn't I write Mingmu on this post?"

Zhang Yao opened the post, and saw that there was a letter inside, Li Fu.

"..."

"The Li family...Lady Pin, there are so many Li families in Capital, don't you want to write an official worship to which minister?" Zhang Yao wondered.

Ji Si washed the brush without haste, and said: "Write the official worship, don't you wait to be exposed? You also said that there are so many capitals with the surname Li, and there are also princes and prefects who came to Beijing. It is inevitable that there are no omissions. YouGo, pretend to be aggressive and scare the concierge boy, hand over the post, turn around and leave, and they can still guess their identity.

"When you come back, remember to take a detour and don't stick your tail."

Zhang Yao figured it out, nodded one after another, and went out with the invitation.

"Uncle King." Ji Si called out the door.

The Uncle King entered the door and saluted: "Girl."

Ji Si: "Go to the shop and get back the clothes that Miss made for me."

Uncle King: "Here."
