The bandit leader asked: "Is everything you said true?"
The little eunuch replied: "Mother is a treasure that is hard to change in my hands, but in your hands it is worthless. Why did I lie to you?"
The boss said: "Do you have anything valuable on you? Use it as a mortgage. I can't prove it."
The little eunuch groped for a long time, but couldn't find anything decent. He had lived in the palace for many years and had not developed the habit of spending money. He thought that the world was under a supply system, and there was no need to use money to buy food and clothing. Listen to what the thieves said.
He wanted something valuable, and then he suddenly remembered that money costs money in this world. Suddenly he touched the piece of jade hanging around his neck. It was given to him by Ur-Sultan as a souvenir when he parted ways. He couldn't tell how much it was worth, because he was his lover.
I often carry the tokens I sent in my arms, but I always feel warm in my heart because today's matters are urgent and I can't take care of much anymore. I first take them out to replenish the number, pick off the jade stones and throw them to the boss, and ask:
"Is this okay?"
The leader took it and looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said: "How much can a piece of broken stone be worth if you paint it with some color? No, who are you trying to coax if you don't spend money? You can't exchange half a sack of rice for it.
Look around and see what else there is." Having said that, he still stuffed the piece of jade into his arms.
It's not that the thief leader is mistaken, but that he doesn't understand the trade at all. This jade is a pure piece of seabed red coral, the size of an oval. Its size, texture, color, shape, shape, etc. are all of the highest quality, not to mention priceless.
I'm afraid I can't buy it with a thousand taels of silver.
The little eunuch was so anxious that he was furious. He wanted to ride his horse over and capture the bandit so that he could rescue the Queen Mother immediately. However, he changed his mind and feared that he would scare the snake if he didn't fight hard with you.
In the forest, where are you going to ask for someone? When he was at a loss, the little eunuch thought of the "Shangfang Dagger" given to him by the little emperor. This is a treasure that affects life and death! If Wang Shugui finds another trouble, he may not be able to do it with this.
Things can withstand things for a while. Now, in order to save people, of course he has risked his life. He didn't dare to say it, and there was no need to tell the thieves that it was given by the emperor. The leader looked at the sword over and over again, nodded in an expert manner and said: "
This one is pretty much the same. It's worth about two bucks. The blade is also sharp, but it's a little short. Otherwise, it could be used as a weapon. I think you are an honest person, so I won't make things difficult for you. If it weren't for us, your mother would have let those bandits bury this.
You must not forget the grace of saving your life. We have both people and goods, but your horse must be left behind. We are used to suffering in the mountains. We have no life to go to the city with you to enjoy the blessings. You take your wife and leave.
Don’t bother us again”
This greedy guy! The little eunuch cursed in his heart, but the Queen Mother had found a solution, and he finally said it again. Compared with the Queen Mother, these things are completely different.
The little eunuch got off his horse, which was led by bandits along the winding mountain road for more than an hour. Only then did he see several dilapidated earthen cave dwellings. He saw the smoke curling from cooking stoves, and heard the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs. It was clear that there were
Unless someone leads the way, ordinary people would never be able to discover this mysterious location. Several women in strange clothes at the "village entrance" danced with joy when they saw their "team" returning in triumph. A mountain man pointed to a cave dwelling and said:
"Go in, your wife is inside"
The light in the cave was very dark. The little eunuch frowned and searched carefully for a long time before he saw a person lying in the haystack with unkempt hair and unkempt clothes. His face was as yellow as paper and his body was as straight as a bone. He did not look like a queen mother.
, the royal mother who is rich in the world? She is clearly an old beggar living in a poor place.
The little eunuch fell to the ground, knelt on his knees, tears rolled down his cheeks, choked with sobs and shouted:
"Mom, I'm here to save you!"
Tong Biyu heard someone calling her in a trance. She hurriedly opened her eyes and took a closer look. It took her a long time to recognize that it was the little eunuch. She suddenly had mixed emotions and couldn't help but burst into tears. She hugged the little eunuch's head and face with her hands and cried sadly:
"Son, could this be a dream?"
The little eunuch promised the empress dowager, Rufei went down the mountain before leaving, and he made an agreement with the leader: after seven days, he will exchange a cart of grain for the stone and the knife, and the horses will be gone. The leader secretly snickered: Even such a fool can do this. To make a fortune? You can't even make such a calculation and still do big business? These two things together are not worth a carriage of food! Of course, he promised it all, and also swore that anyone who made a mistake would be a pig or a dog!
The two-hundred-mile journey lasted for five days, during which time I was begging for food, staying overnight, and even curled up in a small dilapidated temple to survive the cool autumn night once or twice.
Finally, we reached the capital and arrived at the gate of the palace.
The little eunuch said: "Let us in quickly, this is the Queen Mother"
The guard laughed and scolded: "Queen Mother? Do you have any evidence?"
The little queen mother searched her whole body again, but in the end she could not produce any evidence to prove her identity. Finally, she became impatient and said, "Don't you know how to recognize someone?"
"What do you admit? The old beggar pretending to be the Queen Mother is a capital crime. I won't argue with you anymore. Get out! There is a small restaurant in front, and there may be leftover soup or something."
"I'm Pan You'an, Grand Marshal. You don't recognize me, little eunuch?" The little eunuch Li was speechless and brought out a lot of titles.
"Are you a eunuch? This is cool. Take off your pants and let me see. If you really don't have that thing, I can ask someone to fill the gap for you."
Tong Biyu said: "An'er, don't talk to them and go away. Go to your uncle's house."
Tong Shixian complained: "Why didn't you ask for a gold medal from the emperor before you left?"
Tong Shilu said: "It's useless to say that. The top priority is to go to the bandits as soon as possible to exchange for the sword. We have exactly two days to get a carriage of food. We will set off early tomorrow morning. We won't waste time the day after tomorrow."
In the court hall, the young emperor asked the young eunuch, "Brother, you have been out for so many days, has there been any news about your mother?"
The little eunuch shook his head and saw his expression. He clearly saw an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Wang Shigui's mouth in the civil servant class opposite.
"With your mother gone, will you return to the harem?" the little emperor asked again.
The little eunuch said: "I will stay in General Tong's mansion temporarily."
The little emperor shouted: "Well, after the court, I will go to my uncle's house with you to play."
The little eunuch said: "I can't go."
"Why?"
The little eunuch said: "It's not fun in General Tong's house."
"Just go, just go! It's fun when you're here." After the little emperor said this, he turned around and shouted to the deacon and eunuch, "Send the order, prepare the chariot, and drive it to General Tong's mansion."
The Queen Mother burst into tears when she saw her son, crying: "Your Majesty, my mother has suffered!"
The little emperor smiled and said: "I have been looking for you everywhere, but it turns out that the queen mother is hiding in my uncle's house."
The Queen Mother said: "The emperor immediately issued an imperial edict and ordered a phoenix chariot to be prepared in the palace. After receiving his mother, he entered the palace secretly."
"What else is there to keep secret? When the Queen Mother returns to the palace, she should be welcomed with loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, and hundreds of civil and military officials. I am the Emperor, who should I be afraid of? Is it necessary to pick me back up to the palace secretly?"
"Your Majesty, be obedient. It's not too late to set off firecrackers after your mother enters the palace."
The little emperor did not dare to be stubborn, so he said: "Okay, Queen Mother, I will issue the decree right now."
