Chapter 48 Visiting the Bamboo Forest: Escaping from the Tiger's Mouth

"Shi Ji, what do you have to say?" He Yan looked at the young master behind him.

When Gao Shiqian heard the name, his heart skipped a beat and he looked up.

The person in front of him is handsome and graceful, wearing a scarf (made of fine silk to wrap his hair, which is often worn by celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties), and wearing a large ocher double-breasted shirt , the cuffs are open, there are no sleeve ends, and it hangs wide and elegant in front of the body.

There was no psychedelic look in his eyes, nor was his demeanor dissolute, but he stood beside He Yan very soberly and calmly, apparently not taking Wushisan like everyone else.

This person is the youngest son of Zhong Yao, a great calligrapher.

Gao Shiqian sighed secretly in his heart, this Zhonghui is worthy of being Sima Zhao's capable general, he can sneak around He Yan, who is the core figure of the Cao family, and can maintain his own style, not eating and having fun with other people, nor Being blamed by He Yan shows his skillful methods.

"Lord Hou, although this person has made mistakes, but considering that he can still read a few words, the mistakes he made were unintentional mistakes, so I will forgive him for this and order him to work twice as hard in the house to make up for his mistakes. Wouldn't it be better?" Zhong Hui persuaded.

"A seamstress, there are many people in this Marquis's residence..." He Yan snorted, but he didn't want to take off Zhong Hui's face, so he said, "Forget it, since you intercede, let them spare this time," he said. With a wave of his tail, he ordered his subordinates to let go of Gao Shiqian and Meng Jinhua, and then said, "You two must work hard in the house, and you are not allowed to enter the banquet hall again. If you cause trouble again, you will be killed immediately!"

"Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Young Master." Gao Shiqian hurriedly pulled Jinhua to thank him.

"Go down!" He Yan shouted the two of them away, and continued talking and laughing with everyone in the hall.

Mr. Li stroked his long hair, looked at the backs of Gao Shiqian and Jinhua leaving, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

After leaving the banquet hall, Jin Hua asked Gao Shiqian in a low voice, "Who was that person who interceded for us just now?"

"He is a big man who has to be mentioned in the Wei and Jin Dynasties!" Gao Shiqian sighed, "He is Sima Zhao's confidant, Zhong Hui known as 'Xiao Zhangliang'."

"Then why did he appear in He Yan's house? Although I don't understand history, I also know that the Sima family and the Cao family are political enemies."

"This is Zhong Hui's brilliance, but now Sima Yi has not seized power, so the contradiction has not yet been revealed. Besides, in He Yan's room, is there anyone who cares about national affairs? He Yan's head will be killed soon. It's time to move, and he's still living there drunk and dreaming!"

Jin Hua was surprised: "You mean, Zhong Hui is an undercover agent sent by Sima Zhao?"

"There is this meaning. The Sima family has been hiding their strength and secretly controlling the movements of the courtiers. You see, the people in the room today are all high-ranking officials and their children, all of whom have corrupted into that kind of virtue. Only Zhong Hui is alone. Wake up, you can see how deep this man's city is."

"When you say that, I'm really a little scared. If He Yan is arrested in a few days, then we will be in bad luck too? Didn't you kill people everywhere in ancient times? Why don't we run away!"

Gao Shiqian nodded: "What you said is indeed reasonable..." He looked around, "It's better to leave the house as soon as there is no one around."

Before he could finish his sentence, several people suddenly appeared behind him and pressed him to the ground, making him unable to move.

"It's not that easy to escape..." Mr. Li just now walked slowly in front of him, "Do you think you can escape my master so easily?"

"Master Hou just said, let us pay for our sins, why are you still bothering me?" Gao Shiqian said while winking at Jin Hua at the side, telling her to run quickly.

Jinhua understood, and quietly escaped from everyone's sight.

"Lord Hou is just selling favors to Zhong Hui. Do you think he really cares about the life and death of grassroots people like you?" Mr. Li sneered, "It's too late for him to be happy now, and only this young master still misses you in his heart." ..."

"What are you going to do?"

"Come on, tie him up and bring him to my carriage!"

"Yes," the entourage tied Gao Shiqian firmly, and escorted him to the carriage outside the mansion.

Gao Shiqian was sure that Jinhua had already run away, and he thought that he was alone anyway, and he would just fight to the death, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

He was thrown into the carriage, and it didn't take long for the carriage to start driving towards an unknown direction.

After walking for not long, I felt that the carriage stopped suddenly, and the sound of people talking in front of the carriage sounded.After a while, he was taken out of the car, untied, and brought to the frame.

"It's cheap for you today," Mr. Li looked at him and gritted his teeth, "I didn't expect you to be quite capable, let's go!" He pushed him in front of someone.

Gao Shiqian didn't know what happened, but when he looked up, Zhong Hui was standing in front of him, and Jin Hua was standing behind Zhong Hui.He smiled at Jin Hua, telling her not to worry.

Jin Hua's eyes were red and swollen, he must have tried his best to beg Zhong Hui to save him just now.

"Thank you, goodbye." Zhong Hui bowed his hands to Mr. Li, obviously not wanting to say anything to him, and went back to his own frame.

Gao Shiqian and Jinhua walked behind the carriage, looking back, Mr. Li's carriage had gone far away.

"Are you okay?" Jin Hua looked at him nervously.

"It's okay, they haven't had time to do anything to me." He looked at Jinhua tenderly, "Thank you this time, for saving me from the tiger's mouth, otherwise I will lose my life at the end of the year!"

"You are still in the mood to joke, I was really anxious to death just now!" Jin Huahong said with eyes wide open, "What is it about Wei and Jin romantic, it is obviously obscene, it is simply a filthy cesspit, a wolf's den!"

"Don't say that, isn't there still Zhonghui?" He smiled and wiped her tears.

"I know he is not a gentleman, but he is better than those dudes."

"He helped you, but you didn't speak well of him," he shook his head and smiled, "By the way, how did you persuade him to help you just now?"

"I also have a bit of historical knowledge, okay? Do you think I'm really a nymphomaniac who only knows how to look at handsome guys..." She rolled his eyes at him and continued, "I know that Zhong Hui used to be the fanboy of Ji Kang, a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Didn't you mention Ji Kang's "On Health Preservation" in front of He Yan just now? I found that when you mentioned Ji Kang, Zhong Hui's eyes flickered, and I think it was because of this that he pleaded for us both."

"That's right, I've learned to observe words and expressions, and to ponder people's minds."

"I've narrowly escaped death so many times, I have to increase my survival skills, right? I can't just wait for you to save me every time!" She was afraid for a while as she spoke, "What if you are really given by that swinger... ...I'm going to cry to death..."

"Why, are you worried about me?" He looked at her and said with a smirk.

"I was afraid that you would kill yourself by biting your tongue, and no one will make clothes for me in the future!" She glared at him, "After I escaped just now, I was going to look for Zhong Hui in the banquet hall, but he happened to come out and was going back to the house .I told him about you, and he rushed over with me."

"Yi Zhonghui is shrewd, so he won't agree to help so easily."

"You're right, I lied to him..." Jin Hua scratched his head.

"What lie?"

"I told him that the two of us used to work as seamstresses for Ji Kang, and we arrived at He Yan's mansion by accident, and we will go back later."

"Haha, that's a good lie! Thank you for thinking it out." He laughed loudly.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let his followers hear you." Jin Hua said and looked around, "Where are we going, he won't send us back to He Yan Mansion again."

Gao Shiqian also looked at the surrounding environment. At this time, the sky had begun to light up, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clear.He looked at it for a while and said: "Go back to He Yan's mansion and go to the city, but I think he is going out of Luoyang City..."

"Out of town? Where are you going?"

Gao Shiqian shook his head: "I can't guess either."
