Episode 29: Visiting the Princess’s Mansion at Night

In the evening, Xiang Xiaoqiang invited Stomachache, Song Ruhai, Sun Jiye, and Wang Hexiang to go out together, found a secluded restaurant, and had a drink. At the same time, he talked with them about the next step, that is, the establishment of a new department, and the new

personnel arrangements.

Of course he already knew about the stomachache, but this guy still pretended to have just heard about it, pretending to be quite talented, and looked frightened, fearing that his subordinates would wrong Princess Liaoyang when she came. Xiang Xiaoqiang also cooperated with him as usual,

Another message of comfort and persuasion.

The three old men were very happy. They originally thought that they would "use their spare energy" and work as a staff officer or something, which would be great. However, they never expected that they would become the commander. For a while, the mood in the private room was high.

Xiang Xiaoqiang is also very happy. Although he has not yet sought the opinion of Shi Shi Ge Ge, he knows that Shi Shi Ge Ge will only be happy. She was also extremely depressed when she stayed in the Qingshui Yamen of the political work team. Now she is back to her old job. Although

It is a deputy position, but Shi Shigege herself will understand that her deputy position will definitely be more responsible than her regular position with stomachache. Not to mention that soon she will be pulled out alone to form a new "team", and she will become the commander.

.

After drinking and eating, several people came out satisfied. Xiang Xiaoqiang ordered two cars to take them home respectively, then got into his own car and drove back to the headquarters.

…

After entering the headquarters courtyard and getting out of the car, Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly looked up at the bright moon in the sky on a whim.

The spring breeze at night blew against his face, it was warm and very comfortable. Not only did the spring breeze not sober up his drunkenness, it actually made him even more drunk.

Xiang Xiaoqiang told the driver to go back first. He leaned against the big tree beside the road, took out a cigarette and started smoking. The small red dots flickered in the darkness under the shade of the tree, and Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the small door in the distance.

Logically speaking, he should have gone through that small door and returned to his home. But for some reason tonight, he seemed to have a kind of throbbing, and his mind was extremely excited. He always felt that he was unwilling to go back just like that. He always felt that it was necessary.

Go and do something if you have something to do.

The two beauties Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu at home had made him salivate just thinking about them two months ago, but today he seemed not to be interested at all.

Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a while, threw down the cigarette butt, slipped out from the shade of the tree, walked to the gate, and waved to the guard from a distance. The guard quickly ran over and stood at attention to salute.

"Go and find me your company commander."

Xiang Xiaoqiang ordered.

The guard received the order and ran to the guard company headquarters. He quickly found the guard company commander Hu Jiong.

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked around and saw that there was no one around him, leaned closer and whispered:

"Drive out now, don't drive my car... I'm going to Princess Liaoyang's mansion."

Hu Jiong is Xiang Xiaoqiang's closest confidant among the junior officers of the People's Guard. Now that he heard the commander's instructions and smelled the smell of alcohol from him, he already understood what a shrewd person Hu Jiong was.

, although he usually has no contact with these upper-class people, he has long seen that Xiang Xiaoqiang is very close to Princess Liaoyang, but he has never dared to make wild guesses. Looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang's behavior today, he understood in his heart.

But he still had a normal expression, didn't ask a word, nodded and said softly:

"yes."

Hu Jiong knew that the commander wanted to take advantage of the wine to have a tryst with the Princess of Liaoyang. He couldn't bring more people with him for this kind of thing. The commander didn't call the usual driver, but called himself the guard company commander. What did this mean?

It was time to count. He was very careful and ran back to the company headquarters quickly. He took two box guns and strapped them to his body. Then he quickly ran to the garage and picked an ordinary two-row car.

It was noticeable. Then I briefly checked the fuel tank, instrument panel, brakes, etc., and then drove out.

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't say much, just got into the car, lay down in the back seat, closed his eyes and rested.

…

This inconspicuous car was wandering the streets of Nanjing, crossing streets and alleys, and arrived in Qinhuai District in the south of the city in ten minutes.

Although more than two months have passed since the Ming and Qing wars, the Ming Dynasty has not lifted its war mobilization. In other words, it is still in a state of war economy. However, this is limited to the industrial system. The country's light and heavy industries are still stepping up production and war.

Materials, this has stimulated the originally sluggish economy. The unemployment rate has continued to decrease, and consumption has also stimulated continuous growth. If it were not for the machines roaring all night in the factory and the workers working in three shifts, just look at the prosperity of shops and restaurants.

, which makes people think that this is a period of great economic prosperity.

Confucius Temple, Shili Qinhuai area is full of entertainment and entertainment, and around nine o'clock in the evening is the most exciting time. The car drove past Confucius Temple and entered a high-end villa area that is quiet in the bustle.

At nine forty, the car stopped in front of the door of No. 14, Jianzi Lane. Hu Jiong went to ring the doorbell.

The alley was empty in front and back, with only a few cars parked and no one there. Xiang Xiaoqiang lamented that it was not easy for the Princess Liaoyang Mansion to remain secret until now. The People's Guard soldiers who serve as guards here are really capable

It is called "loyalty and bravery". It is not easy to be "brave" with a hundred steps and seize the sword with bare hands, but it is even more difficult to be true "loyalty". This "loyalty" is not only about not betraying, but also some seemingly

It's inconspicuous, but it's actually more difficult, such as being strict with your mouth.

Xiang Xiaoqiang really admires Hu Jiong for this. This is why he brought Hu Jiong here today.

The guard at the door pushed open the iron gate, Hu Jiong returned to the car and drove in.

…

Xiang Xiaoqiang usually didn't dare to come to the princess's house in the middle of the night to be abrupt. Today, thanks to his drunkenness and the fact that Shi Shigege made "mistakes" first, as a leader, he wanted to criticize her... plus...

There are personnel adjustments, ventilation is needed... Oops, there are too many valid reasons.

Bamboo shadows danced on both sides of the courtyard path. A little maid in Hanfu led the way with a lantern, her hands behind her back to Xiaoqiang, and she followed leisurely behind. She actually had the feeling that she was an ancient emperor, and that someone had stirred up a storm at night.

The concubine's sign is now being shuttled through the harem garden under the guidance of the palace maid... Behind a certain palace wall, the fourteenth princess, who is her concubine, has taken a bath in the fragrant soup, finished dressing up, and prepared a feast, happily

Wait for yourself...

Ouch...tsk tsk tsk...don't be too happy.

Passing through a small round door, the beautiful Japanese-style building came into view on the lawn under the lamp. Following the small stone path to the corridor, the little maid turned around, bowed respectfully, and said softly:

"Sir, please change your shoes."

Huh? Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately noticed the little maid: Isn’t this Xiao Wu?

The moment he turned around and bowed, Xiang Xiaoqiang saw her face. It was indeed Xiao Wu.

Oh, I haven’t seen you for more than two months, and I seem to be more beautiful and taller. Moreover, the Chinese sentence "Sir, please change your shoes" is also said in a clear and concise manner. It seems that Shi Shigege doesn’t usually

What a ****.

Xiao Wu bowed submissively, with his hands on his knees, and his long black hair scattered on his shoulders.

Probably feeling that he was being stared at, Xiao Wu secretly raised his head and glanced at Xiang Xiaoqiang. His big black eyes happened to meet Xiang Xiaoqiang's "lustful" eyes. He shrank his head in fear and did not dare to look up.

Her hands were still on her knees, but she was pinching her skirt unnaturally.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was condescending, looking at Xiao Wu who was submissive, and suddenly his heart trembled, remembering Zhu Yourong's appearance.

Zhu Yourong, I don’t know what he is doing at the moment? Is he strumming the guitar in the imperial garden again, looking at the same moon as himself?

Oh, who cares! Zhu Yourong, that dead-headed girl, don’t think about her now. Now, she is outside the door of Shifengge...

…

Take off your shoes and enter the hall.

When they came face to face, they saw Shi Shi Ge Ge, who was also wearing a soft Hanfu, sitting cross-legged on the floor, and was... was...

Wait, I read that right...

Xiang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes and then opened them again, and what he saw was indeed... Fourteen Gege sitting cross-legged, holding a dart in his hand, squinting his eyes and gesticulating, and after gesticulating for a moment, he threw it violently. The dart was streaking in the air.

It made a beautiful shallow arc, and "bang!" it nailed into a target plate a few meters away, almost hitting the red heart.

There was a bottle of brandy and an empty glass next to it. It looked like there was only less than half of the amber liquor left in the bottle, and looking at the red face of Shi Shigege, she must have drank less than half of the bottle.

Next to the wine bottle, there are a few darts scattered around.

Fourteen Gege's pretty face was blushing, and she was staring at the target board with all her concentration. She didn't notice Xiang Xiaoqiang, so she picked up another dart, squinted her eyes a few times, shook her hand and threw it out. "Bang", another dart spike.

Enter the heart.

Xiang Xiaoqiang burst into laughter. He never expected that such a princess, Ge Ge, would play such boyish things at home.

Fourteenth Gege is quite pitiful, living in exile in an enemy country alone, with no friends or relatives. It's better during the day, and she can fully devote herself to work. But at night, she can only stay at home alone. With her status, she can't even go out to play.

.

Xiang Xiaoqiang wanted to call her. Just as he took a step forward, he stepped on something. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was something folded from several newspapers.

He bent down and picked it up. It turned out to be a paper crane folded from newspaper.

A large headline flashed across the wings of the paper crane: "The Tatar Princess of the Ming Dynasty".

Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little stunned. He slowly opened the paper crane and saw that half of the newspaper was full of insults and attacks on her.

Underfoot, there are more than a dozen paper cranes.

Next to the coffee table a few meters away, there was a pile of newspapers and paper cranes, hundreds of them.

Each of these newspapers contained words criticizing her. But now, they have all turned into paper cranes.

…

"Bang!...Crackling..."

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked up and saw three or four darts nailed crookedly on the target board in the distance. The remaining five or six darts fell on the floor under the target board and were still rolling.

Fourteen squares and all the remaining darts were thrown out.

Then, she grabbed the brandy bottle and poured half a cup into the cup. When she raised her eyes, she happened to see Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Chapter completed!
