Xiangye

Chapter 226 The Last Moment (Part [-])
The letter was written, but there was no reply.

Being sick, lacking in food and clothing, and worrying about Gao Wen and his soldiers coming to arrest people day and night, this period of time was simply an unbearable torture for Huang Wei.

Fortunately, today is the day when the results of the township examination are released, so it can be regarded as over.

Huang Wei woke up very early this morning, feeling that the fever on his body seemed to have receded, and his energy was much better.Just because I stayed in bed for a long time, there seemed to be a small ball in my head, and when I shook it lightly, it rolled around, and I felt pain.

However, the strength can be regarded as coming back.

"Could it be that my illness is cured because people feel refreshed on happy occasions!"

"That's a good sign!"

How could Huang Wei hold back, he ordered his loyal servants to go to the Gong Yuan Bang Pavilion to read the list early on, saying that once he saw his name, he would come back immediately to announce the good news.For this day, yesterday he took off his favorite jade pendant from his waist and prepared happy money for Baozi.

After the loyal servant went out, Huang Wei couldn't stay in the house anymore, got up, went to the yard, and lay down on the beard bed under the tree.He planned to make a cup of tea, but it felt like he was stepping on cotton, and he was out of breath after walking just a few steps.

Lying down for a while, I don't know when to stare at him.

Later, he was woken up by the heat, and when he opened his eyes, it was another sunny day, and he was sweating profusely from the heat.

There was a sound of calm footsteps, Huang Wei: "It's considered back, why... But I won..." The matter is so important, his voice trembled: "No, no, no, don't talk, bring me a cup of tea , Thirst kills me too!"

There was a faint laugh: "A certain tea addict, I never thought that Huang Zhubo is also a fellow. Someone is here, bring the tea set, and Huang Zhubo and I will drink a few cups, so as to send him on the road."

The voice was so familiar, Huang Wei looked intently, his pupils constricted a little: "Gao Wen, it's you!"

Yes, it was Gao Wen who came.

This was the first time Huang Wei had seen this great enemy since last winter, but compared to that time, Gao Wen seemed to have grown taller.His face became rounder, fairer and softer.He was wearing a green shirt, holding a Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand, tall and tall, and he was really a handsome young man in troubled times.

Huang Wei was taken aback. In his impression, Gao Wen was just a vulgar warrior and a shameless subordinate.Seeing him today is like seeing a scholar who is noble and refined, he is really dazzling.Anyone who stands with him feels ashamed.

The four characters of dragon and phoenix among people are naturally given to this kind of person, but this top person is his lifelong enemy.

"It's Gao Wen, Huang Zhubo, are you safe?" Gao Wen cupped his hands slightly, and sat next to Huang Wei.

A follower brought over a set of tea sets, a small red clay stove, and hot air bubbling from the copper stove.

Gao Wen poured the tea nimbly, put a cup the size of a wine cup on the table in front of Huang Wei, and said, "This is Wuyi Mountain rock tea, which is my favorite. Master Huang, you can try it."

As he said that, he poured another cup and said, "The 15-year-old wild tea tree in Yunnan is not bad."

Huang Wei sneered: "Little bastard surnamed Gao, who wants to eat your tea?"

Hearing his scolding, Gao Wen was not angry, instead he asked gently: "But he is afraid that I will be poisoned, hey, speaking of Huang Zhubo, you are also a figure on the stage, at least in Hancheng. From a certain point of view, there is nothing in the world that cannot be discussed, compromised or exchanged, and there is no need to resort to violence. Huang Zhubo, you asked Mei Liang to set up an ambush to kill me and Gao Wen, it would be rude. Not refined enough, vulgar!"

While talking, he slowly sipped his tea, and said leisurely: "It's no wonder, you also have such a pattern in your heart. Otherwise, why have you been messing around for a lifetime, and now you are just a small boss."

Huang Wei scolded: "Little bastard, what are you doing here today, but because of the power of that surname Xu, he wants to arrest me? Really think that I, Huang Wei, are easy to bully. Hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch me today. Today, I am the master of Juren, and I will be an official of the seventh rank soon."

"It's wrong to swear at people. Huang Wei and we have fame and status anyway, but we're not from the lower Liba. Even if we stab at the back, we'll get angry in person. If we fight like the rogues on the street, it's a loss of dignity." Gao Wen looked at Huang Wei with a smile: "You said that I couldn't catch you today, and you said that today you are the Lord Juren and you want to be an official. I really don't know where your self-confidence comes from."

It's been a long time since I saw Huang Wei, and when I saw this guy just now, Gao Wen almost didn't recognize him.

In the past, Huang Wei was also considered handsome and strong.But in front of him is just a scrawny, unkempt, consumptive, consumptive ghost, maybe he doesn't need to hunt him down himself, and this old boy won't live for a few days.

Happy, really happy!

"Confidence, hehe, self-confidence, what do you know?" Huang Wei pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, and waved softly at Gao Wen, motioning him to move closer.

"Master Huang has something to say." Gao Wen smiled calmly and stretched his neck over.

Huang Wei: "Gao Erzhi, you are right. Now, you and I are considered to be people of status, and you are my opponent of Huang Wei until now. You have the ability to be my opponent, so naturally worthy of my respect."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "I really didn't expect that Min Zhuang, who was nicknamed Gao Fool, was like a mustard seed in my eyes. Now he has become a scholar, and he is also a little famous. Why did you and I become enemies back then?" Well, if you can go back to the past, a character like you is worth paying for."

"Worth it?" Gao Wen said sarcastically: "In Huang Zhubo's eyes, there are only subordinates who can be used and bosses who need to be flattered. We can't get together. Speaking of it, I really want to thank Mr. Huang, if you hadn't pushed Gao Wenshan to the end, I wouldn't have thought of quitting my citizenship to take the imperial examination, so how would I be where I am today."

Huang Wei nodded: "Who can tell clearly about people's affairs? You don't know how capable you are and what kind of infinite possibilities you have until you are in a desperate situation. If it weren't for the Xu Qin envoy you colluded with, you would have to put him in the Ma Zheng case. I'm dying. Huang Wei never thought about getting a job and becoming an official. If there is a future, Huang Wei really wants to thank you."

Gao Wen: "Thank you, hehe."

Huang Wei lowered his voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Gao Wen, Huang has never spoken so many intimate words with anyone in his life, only you are an exception. To tell you the truth, this time the provincial examination, a certain A lot of money, it can be said that the savings of the past 20 years have been thrown in. If you want to buy a fame, maybe there will be good news later. As for the Ma Zheng case, when Gao Buzheng appears, he will preside over the overall situation. What can you do to me?"

"I said why do you think you want to come to participate in Qiuwei? It turns out that you have bought the joint." Gao Wen straightened his body, poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly: "This is Xi'an, this is a big stage, it's not the Han Dynasty stage. There is an acre of land in the city. You, and I are just chess pieces in the hands of the big man, and our fate cannot be controlled by ourselves. The only thing we can do is to try our best to see the two hands that control the chessboard. Only when we see clearly, One day you will be able to become a chess player. Huang Wei, once something happens, you always think of relying on others, and that’s how you are. It’s a pity that I, Gao Wen, used to regard you as the greatest enemy in my life, but now, You are no longer qualified. Wait, wait, it is almost noon, and the last moment is coming. Only, it is yours, not mine."

Huang Wei just sneered, lying on the Hu bed panting slightly, and didn't speak any more.

At this moment, there was a commotion from outside.

Someone scolded: "Who is it, Jin Yiwei is on business, leave quickly!"

Another person yelled: "Get out of the way, let me in, I will live here, Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Wei straightened up from the Hu bed abruptly, and the loyal servant who went to see the list came back.

Gao Wen turned his head and shouted to the outside: "Little Eagle, let that man in. He should bring back good news, and I can't wait to hear it."

After a while, a servant stumbled in, knelt down in front of Huang Wei with a plop, and cried loudly: "Master, master, I'm back, I'm back!"

"Why are you crying, can you see the list?" Huang Wei felt a thump in his heart when he saw him crying.Not knowing where the strength came from, he stood up abruptly and grabbed the servant from the ground.

"Look, look." The loyal servant couldn't help nodding, tears streaming down to the ground.

Huang Wei: "How about it, what place did my master get, tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

"I don't know, I don't know..." The servant kept shaking his head.

Huang Wei was furious, his face was as red as blood, and he shook his body vigorously: "How could you not know, you are blind?"

The servant was frightened by his appearance, so he stopped crying, "I don't know, I managed to squeeze into the booth, but I couldn't see the master's name after watching for a long time."

"What, I didn't see my master's name, you must be a poor watcher, hurry up and look again."

"It's useless, master. The little one read it three times, but your name is not there." The servant: "Master, you didn't win."

"I didn't pass, I didn't pass, I didn't pass... What's the big deal." Huang Wei smiled and squinted at Gao Wen: "If you fail the exam this year, you can talk about it in two years. Governor Gao Come out, prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to meet the chief envoy."

Servant: "Master, it's useless, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Mr. Gao."

Huang Wei: "You old bastard, the master told you to prepare a sedan chair and you can hire it yourself. Let's see who dares to stop you?"

That loyal servant: "Master, Mr. Gao was arrested by Xu Qin as soon as he left the examination room."

"What, was arrested, how is it possible?" Huang Wei roared loudly: "A little editor Xu, why should he arrest the big officials in the frontier? Isn't he afraid of the law of the country?"
