Chapter One Entering the Palace
When Xiang Yan was in a daze, his body suddenly flew forward, and he fell to the ground with a "bang". The pain was severe, and a burst of laughter came from his ears. The pain made Xiang Yan wake up and found that he had been
The rope was tied up.
Looking back, I saw seven people with shaved foreheads, a braid on their heads, bare upper bodies, wearing only a pair of leather pants, and all greasy, laughing. All of these seven people had muscles.
There was a mustache and black hair on his chest, and when he stretched out his hands, they all had huge palms and were as thick as fingers.
Xiang Yan was shocked and frightened, and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to arrest me?" The big man hit Xiang Yan on the head with a whip and shouted: "Rebel, how many accomplices do you have? Where are they hiding? Tell me honestly.
, you can still live. If you say anything false, your nine tribes will be punished." Xiang Yan was stunned, what was he talking about? Why did he say that I was a rebel?
Seeing that Xiangyan didn't answer, Han Jia was very angry and whipped him again, saying: "Rebel, you dare to speak harshly." Han B said: "Don't beat me. Hand him over to the prince, we will definitely get a reward. If you do,
If you beat someone to death, there won't be much reward." The other big men all agreed.
The big man A took the other end of the rope that tied Xiang Yan in his hand and rode a horse. Xiang Yan couldn't catch up and was held behind the horse, causing injuries all over his body. The big men all laughed. However,
Fortunately, none of the big men wanted Xiang Yan's life, so they stopped their horses and walked slowly after a certain distance.
Xiang Yan saw those pedestrians wearing strange clothes and having pigtails on the back of their heads on the road, and he was very confused: "Why are these pedestrians dressed so strangely? These people who kidnapped him actually walked on the road with him in an upright manner.
On the street, no one came to rescue me or call the police, but they seemed to be afraid of the kidnappers."
Last night, Xiang Yan went to bed after eating his thirteenth birthday cake. In the middle of the night, he was woken up by bursts of pain in his chest. Half an hour later, the pain suddenly worsened, and Xiang Yan fainted from the pain.
When he woke up again, he was kidnapped by this group of strange people and taken to this strange place. Xiang Yan thought about it carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how he was kidnapped. Look at the sun again, it's not too early now, isn't it?
Did you faint for a long time?
The big men saw a small hotel on the way back. Big Man B said: "I'm a little hungry, let's eat something first before going back!" The other people nodded and agreed. After the seven people entered, they were divided.
They sat down at the two tables and Xiang Yan stood aside.
The seven people all shouted loudly: "Bring the wine quickly, beef and fat chicken, the sooner the better." The bartender quickly responded: "Yes! Yes!" Putting down his chopsticks, he asked: "Sir, what are you going to eat?"
The big man said angrily: "Are you deaf?" The big man suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the bartender's waist, turned his arm and lifted him up.
The bartender danced wildly with his arms and legs and screamed in fright. Several big men laughed. The big man shook his hand and threw the bartender out of the door. The bartender shouted: "Oh, my God!" All the big men joined in unison again.
Laugh loudly.
At a table nearby, a child suddenly said loudly: "Hey, big guys, this friend of mine said he can beat seven of you by himself." Everyone turned around and saw a big man and a fellow student sitting at the table.
A child about the same age as Xiang Yan.
Big Han C asked: "Little baby, what did you say?" The kid said: "This friend of mine said that you bully the bartender. You are not a hero. If you have the guts to fight with him." Big Han A stared at him angrily.
The big man said: "You son of a bitch, did you say that?"
The big man didn't say anything. He picked up the wine bottle and threw it at Han A. Han A blocked it with his hand and shouted "Ouch". Han B rushed over and the big man kicked it out, hitting the big man in the lower abdomen.
Bingdeng immediately flew out. The other five big men shouted "bastards, bastards" and rushed towards him one after another.
Seeing this, Xiang Yan took the opportunity to sneak towards the back hall. Suddenly a chopstick flew towards him and hit him in the crook of his right leg. Xiang Yan's right leg went numb and he fell to the ground, unable to move anymore. He just kept going.
I heard the sound of someone falling, and I didn't know who was winning or losing.
Then I heard an old man's voice saying: "You want to give me medicine again, don't you mean to kill me? If you take even half a minute more of this medicine, it will kill me. Cough... cough... you...
Child, what a nonsense." Another child's voice said: "My child really doesn't know, so I won't dare to do it anymore." The old man said, "What's next? Well, I don't know how many days I can live."
The child said: "Father, what are the backgrounds of these guys? I'm afraid they are rebels." The old man said: "Where do you friends come from?" The man B said: "If I go back to my father-in-law, we are Prince Zheng.
In the mansion. We went hunting today and happened to meet this bandit. We were going to take him back to the palace and hand him over to the prince for interrogation, but we didn’t expect to meet these two rebels again. If my father-in-law hadn’t taken action today and captured these two rebels,
Thief, we will be embarrassed."
The old man snorted and said: "That...that's just a coincidence. Ahem...cough, don't disturb others, just send this man and the two children to the Da Neishang Food Supervisor, just say it's...
The person Hai Laogong wants." Several big men agreed in unison.
Xiang Yan heard what they said, "Eunuch, Ouchi, Prince", and thought of the strange dressing of the people here, he was shocked: "Did I actually arrive in the Qing Dynasty? Oh my God! I just slept at home, why did I...
When I woke up, I arrived in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty has always been known as "leaving your head without leaving hair, leaving hair without leaving hair". Is it because I didn't shave my hair that I was regarded as a traitor? And why did that old eunuch want me to come to the palace? He was
In order to compete with that prince, you should make me a eunuch?" Thinking of this, Xiang Yan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
The old eunuch said again: "Why don't you call for a sedan? Do you think I can still walk when I look like this?" The young eunuch agreed and ran away. He could only hear the old eunuch coughing uncontrollably, and heard the provocation at the beginning.
The children of the grown-up men cursed: "The old turtle who is ill with tuberculosis..." After a while, the young eunuch came back and said, "Father-in-law, the sedan has arrived." The old eunuch left while coughing repeatedly.
The big men called several more sedans, stuffed a piece of cloth into Xiang Yan's mouth, blindfolded his eyes with a black cloth, put them in the sedan and carried them away. Xiang Yan was in the dark in the sedan, and he was worried that he would be regarded as a rebel.
The thief was executed, and he was worried about becoming a eunuch, so he walked around in a state of anxiety. Sometimes the sedan stopped, and someone asked him, and the big man outside the sedan always replied: "Master Hai, the Supervisor of Shangshan, asked for it."
I don’t know how long I walked, but suddenly the sedan stopped. The voice of Han Yi came over: "The person Hai Lao wanted to be sent to
Yes." He heard the little eunuch's voice again: "Yes. Mr. Hai is resting, just leave him here." Han Yi said again: "Let's go back and report to Prince Zheng. The prince will definitely send someone to thank Mr. Hai." ." The little eunuch said: "Yes, you said Mr. Hai paid his respects to the prince." Han Yi said: "I don't dare to take it seriously." Then someone took Xiang Yan out of the sedan, carried him into the house, and put him down.
Hearing the footsteps of people walking away, and hearing the old eunuch coughing a few times, Xiang Yan smelled a very strong smell of medicine. The surroundings were quiet, and except for the old eunuch's occasional cough, there was no other sound. Xiang Yan Yan's hands and feet were tied, his fingers and toes were all numb, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. However, the old eunuch seemed to have forgotten the door and ignored him. He wanted to escape, but the rope was tied very tightly and could not be untied.
After a long time, I heard the old eunuch call softly: "Xiao Guizi." The little eunuch responded: "Yes!" The old eunuch said: "Untie the three of them, I have something to ask them." The little eunuch said: "Yes!" Xiang Yan heard a "cluck" sound. After a while, the ropes on his hands and feet were cut with a knife, and the black cloth around his eyes was also removed.
Xiang Yan opened his eyes and saw that he was in a large room. There were few things in the room. There was only a table and a chair. There were teapots and bowls on the table. The old eunuch was sitting on the chair, half sitting and half lying down. . His cheeks were sunken and his eyes were half-open and half-closed. It was already dark at this time, and two candlesticks were installed on the wall, each lit with a candle. The candlelight flickered brightly and dimly on the old eunuch's sallow face.
The little eunuch took out the cloth from the mouths of the big man and Xiang Yan, and when he was about to take the cloth from the child's mouth, the old eunuch said: "This child's mouth is not clean, let him stuff it for a while." The little eunuch said: "Yes! "The old eunuch said again: "Bring a chair over here and sit down for him." The little eunuch brought a chair out from the next room and put it at the feet of the big man. The big man sat down immediately. The child next to the big man sat on the ground. Xiang Yan stood aside.
The old eunuch first asked Xiang Yan: "Who are you? Why didn't you shave your hair?" After guessing that he might have come to the Qing Dynasty, Xiang Yan began to make up a suitable origin for himself: "My name is Xiang Yan. My grandfather brought him Our whole family went overseas. Three years ago, my grandfather passed away. My father said he would return to his roots and take us back to his hometown. Unexpectedly, we were hunted down as soon as we landed, and I was caught after escaping for a few days."
The old eunuch nodded and said: "Everyone in the Qing Dynasty must shave their heads. The court has decreed, 'Keep your head without hair, keep your hair without hair.' If you don't shave your hair, of course you will be hunted down. Let's do that. , you do one thing for me, I will shave your hair and let you go." Xiang Yan had no choice but to agree.
The old eunuch said to the young eunuch: "Take him to shave his hair and change his clothes." The young eunuch took Xiang Yan to the inner room. There was a big bed, a small bed, several boxes and a large vat in the inner room. The little eunuch opened a box, took out a pair of scissors, and cut off all the hair on Xiang Yan's head. He also put a hat on Xiang Yan's head, tied a fake braid on the back of his head, and took a set of clothes for Xiang Yan to change into.
