Chapter 829 Fighting (seeking the moon at the end of the month)
The spring river water is warm and duck inflammation is known.
After the clouds of war dissipated, the shopping malls were the first to react.
The largest trading alley in Suzhou City has taken the lead in restoring its prosperity. The streets and markets are crowded with tourists and busy. In addition to merchants doing business, teahouses, restaurants and even brothels and gambling houses are also located here. Business travelers can discuss business in the teahouse.
After a night of fun, you can go to a liquor store to get drunk, and wine is the medium of sex. When you are drunk, you can go to a brothel to buy sex. After a night of fun, you can also go to a gambling house to have fun, one-stop service.[]
Among them, there are also some artists who make a living here, such as Mu Sanshui, a storyteller in Lu Yu Tea House.
Mu Sanshui has a wide body and a fat body, a fat head, big ears, and a big bald head. He looks like a famous monk in a big temple with great popularity.
Sitting at the table opposite him was a skinny little old man with a bitter look on his face. He was wearing coarse clothes and a dagger hanging from his shoulders. In front of him was a bowl of unfinished pancakes.
Broth. This man is a small businessman named Feng Wanshun.
The book Mu Sanshui talked about today was about a story about King Wu's defeat of Zhou. It was taken from "The Vernacular of King Wu's Defeat of Zhou" written in the Southern Song Dynasty. This was the predecessor of "The Romance of the Gods". As a result, Feng Wanshun heard that he was being mysterious and pretending to be a ghost.
, the two of them just choked.
At this moment, the two of them made a bet about the existence of magic in the world. Feng Wanshun wrote a few words on the paper, put it on the desk in front of Mu Sanshui, covered the tablecloth, and Mu Sanshui opened his mouth.
What Feng Wanshun wrote was correct and he said everything out loud, leaving Feng Wanshun dumbfounded.
He jumped up and ran to the stage to lift the tablecloth and take a look. The piece of paper on which he had written a few lines of words was still lying in the desk. He couldn't help but feel strange. Mu Sanshui said proudly: "
How about it? Is there really magic in this world? Let me tell you, I know how to do this, but if I know this skill, there will naturally be people who know the skill a hundred times better than me. They can soar into the clouds, control the mist, call for wind and rain, and scatter beans into soldiers. That's all.
, you have lost, take the money!"
Feng Wanshun couldn't contain his words, and said with a blushing face: "You... you are all doing sorcery, maybe you are a White Lotus demon!"
Mu Sanshui suddenly changed his expression: "What's the matter? Give me a big hat from the White Lotus Sect because you want to default on the debt. Brothers, let him know who is the landlord in this alley!"
As soon as Mu Sanshui finished speaking, several big men walking around in the teahouse swung their arms and approached Feng Wanshun with evil looks on their faces. Feng Wanshun was a man who would not give up his life and wealth, and he grabbed his trousers tightly... and screamed:
"What are you doing? You're robbing things! You're extorting money. Come and see..."
The guests drinking tea were watching, but the problem was that no one came out to help. Seeing the sweaters approaching, they were about to grab his robes. Suddenly, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks flashed into the teahouse and saw Mu Sanshui.
, then beckoned: "Sanshui, hurry up, the master has asked us to go...there is a big deal!"
Mu Sanshui waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry, just ask me to collect the winnings from the bet first!"
The sharp-mouthed man with monkey cheeks became anxious and ran over, grabbed his sleeves and said, "It's an urgent matter, a big deal, where is Qianqian?"
"..."
The thin-faced man understood it as soon as he heard it. He picked up the wake wood, slapped it on the table a few times, and shouted: "Ye Qianqian, come out quickly, the master asked us to go, it's urgent, hurry up
!" He said, dragging Mu Sanshui and leaving.
The real owner was gone, and the big helpers couldn't help but look at each other, wondering whether they should continue blackmailing the small businessman named Feng. At this time, there was a creak under Mu Sanshui's storyteller's table, and the tablecloth was lifted.
A man came out. This man was as thin as an ape and as agile as an ape. Feng Wanshun was surprised. He had just looked under the table and it was clearly empty, but he didn't know when someone had come out.
The thin man named Ye Qianqian chased Mu Sanshui out. The big men felt bored, made gestures to each other, and left the teahouse. At this time, a kind-hearted teahouse waiter smiled at Feng Wanshun and said: "You are lucky today."
Okay, otherwise you will definitely lose your money. To tell you the truth, the two brothers Mu Sanshui and Ye Qianqian have the unique skill of double act. Others say that double act is done by memorizing the words beforehand, but these two
, even if the person hiding below says something that the person above does not know in advance, the person above can still match the mouth shape perfectly. Unless you keep staring at his mouth, or sit face to face with him, you can't hear it.
The sound did not come from his mouth, otherwise there would be no flaws."
At the same time as the car was driving, several men with gray homespun cloth came in from the north gate of Suzhou City. Someone had already greeted him in front of the city gate, said hello to him, and asked with a smile: "Brother Gongsun, how was the harvest of this business trip?"
The man surnamed Gongsun said: "Hey, looking at such a huge ancient tomb, it was finally excavated, but there was no gold or silver. I only took a copper unicorn, a copper cauldron and a copper two-pronged fork, two
There are a few copper basins, and a large number of pottery. There are several jars of ancient coins, but they are not worth a few cents. I was just about to dig another big one, and the master came to us in a hurry. Is there any big deal?"
The person who greeted him laughed and said: "Brother Gongsun, I don't know the details very well, but the master said that if this transaction is completed, I will have enough food for my whole life!"
The man named Gongsun became energetic after hearing this: "How could such a good thing happen? Let's go! Let's go see the master quickly!"
People from all walks of life rushed to a large gambling house one after another. There were seventeen or eighteen tables in the gambling house. Gamblers gathered around the tables, shouting and drinking. These people entered the gambling house and ignored the gamblers. They just watched the gambling house.
He said hello to the thugs and walked through the gambling house to the backyard. In the backyard, Wan Songling was drinking tea and eating beans, waiting there quietly...
When Song Sheng received Xia Xun's letter, he couldn't help being surprised and happy. He immediately sent someone to report the news to Beijing and Emperor Yongle who was on the front line in northern Xinjiang. Then he set off with his sick body in his arms to meet Xia Xun in Jiayuguan.
Xia Xun's letter told him to immediately control Hu Shang's case of Tuoba Mingde, and he did not neglect it. He sent his third son Song Ying to Suzhou in person to arrest Tuoba Mingde. He originally thought it was a sure thing.
, Unexpectedly, when Song Ying arrived in Suzhou, she only captured a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The main target, Tuoba Mingde, and Yu Jian, whose pseudonym was Hu Qiqi, were missing.
When he broke into Tuoba Mingde's rented Mafu lower courtyard to arrest people, all of Tuoba Mingde's men were there, and they seemed to have no idea that his identity was leaked. It didn't look like Tuoba Mingde had escaped after getting the news.
So Song Ying sent someone to report the news to her father, and at the same time interrogated the prisoners personally, hoping to find out the whereabouts of Tuoba Mingde and Yu Jian.
But these people were all dead soldiers sent by Timur's empire, and it was not easy to get information from them. Song Ying had no choice but to torture them and torture them all night long.
Song Ying turned a Suzhou city upside down and arrested Tuoba Mingde and Yu Jian. Song Sheng had already received Xia Xun and his surviving soldiers at Jiayuguan. According to Song Ying, Xia Xun had been missing for a long time, and he
Together with King Tuotuo of Hami, they sent troops to search the entire eight hundred miles of the vast sea, but could not find Fu Xun's whereabouts. Judging from the situation at that time, it was clear that the situation was more serious than bad, so they had to report the truth to the emperor.
Emperor Yongle was chasing Benya Shili in the desert at that time. When he got the news, it was already the beginning of spring this year. Emperor Yongle was very sad when he learned of Xia Xun's misfortune, but he could not handle the matter at that time, so he only ordered Song Sheng to
He adjusted his military deployment to shoulder the defense of Xiliang, and at the same time sent an order to the capital, preparing to wait for him to return to Jinling after the war, and then arrange the funeral arrangements for the Duke of Fu.
Now many preparations for the funeral of Fu Guogong have been completed, including the posthumous title, memorial inscriptions, tomb, funeral scale, and plans to crown him King of Hanzhong. Fortunately, he came back in time. Otherwise, when the emperor returns to Beijing, he will
After all the funeral arrangements have been taken care of, if he comes out alive and kicking again, the Ming Empire will probably encounter an unprecedented problem: the posthumous prince is alive again, what should be done with this prince?
Immediately, Song Sheng informed Xia Xun about the arrest of Tuoba Mingde and Yu Jian. While they were exchanging information about everything that had happened in the past six months, they also rushed to Suzhou. The two places were not far apart.
After sixty or seventy miles, at the end of the day, we entered Suzhou City in the evening.
When he entered the city, officials from all walks of life greeted him with greetings. After a long time, he was able to check into the official residence specially set aside for him by the Suzhou Wei Yamen. As for the dinner, he had to wait for a while and ran all the way.
o, it was summer again, and Xia Xun and his party were not only dusty, but their faces were dusty and stained with sweat. They had to take a shower, change clothes, and clean themselves first.
Under the guidance of Xilin and Jeanne, Xia Xun took a quick bath, changed into a light robe and went out. The two beauties took off their clothes and took a bath. The room had not yet entered the water, so Tang was impatient to wait.
Sai'er then broke in. She wouldn't bathe alone when someone was with her, so naturally she had to bathe with Celine and Jeanne.
The three beauties, two large and one small, were all naked, splashing in the water and bathing. Not to mention, Xia Xun, who had already finished bathing, had gone to the flower hall to rest.
The servants had already served tea, and it was neither cold nor hot at this time, so Xia Xun sat down on the bamboo and rattan armchair and drank the tea.
At this time, Xia Xun was wearing a light jade robe and a futou on his head. There was also a piece of fresh jade in the middle of the futou. His whole person was gentle and elegant, but his complexion looked a bit darker. Even so, it was shocking.
At first glance, he looks like a young master, but the fan he is waving in his hand can't help but make people laugh. The young man is not shaking a folding fan, but a big cattail leaf fan, which is really cool. With his hands, he looks cool.
But it's a little bit nondescript.
After a while, Liu Yujue, who had already finished bathing, rushed over. Xia Xun was originally very handsome, but when compared with Liu Yujue, he immediately looked much inferior. Liu Yujue had a fair face, as if he couldn't get a tan.
Yes, he is wearing a moon-white, bullet-ink, plum-blossom soap-coloured, cross-collared light garment. He is a handsome young man, as beautiful as jade. Compared to Xia Xun, he is more than a step and a half better than Xia Xun.
"My lord, just now the Marquis of Xining said that I have found out the whereabouts of Tuoba Mingde. Song Ying has led people out of the city to arrest him. We don't know the details yet. We will wait until Song Ying comes back. After tonight's dinner, please rest first."
, Song Ying will definitely come back within the next three or two days, and we just need to rest for a few days in Suzhou City. There will be no carriages and horses along the way, and we feel uncomfortable all over!"
Xia Xun nodded and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of Yu Jian?"
Liu Yujue said: "Not yet, I'm afraid the whereabouts of Yu Jian will also fall on Tuoba Mingde."
Xia Xun frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not! Although I am trapped in Beishibali, there are not many people who know my whereabouts. Ying Zhan, his wife and Yu Jian both know, but I
When we arrived at Hami, King Tuotuo of Hami was inexplicably surprised. He had no idea that I was still alive before. At that time, I knew that it might not be that easy to capture Yu Jian."
Liu Yujue sat down next to Xia Xun and said sleepily: "What did the Duke say?"
Xia Xun said: "Ying Zhan and his wife helped me, but concealed the news that I was in Beshu Bali. This is understandable. If I survive, I will not forget their kindness, and if I die, they will not forget it either."
Being implicated, once Timur's army really broke through Jiayuguan and marched directly to the Central Plains, he could use his friendship with that country to protect himself. Later, after Timur died, retreated, and the dust settled, he didn't say anything.
It is necessary to come out, because if he speaks out now, he will not be able to explain to others the reason why he did not speak out before. But why doesn't Yu Jian speak out?"
Liu Yujue's eyes flashed slightly, and he rushed to say: "I understand! Yu Jian is still determined to be a thief, and he also hopes that the Duke of Guo will have an accident in Beshu Bali. At that time, he was the steward of Tuoba Mingde. What will happen in the future?
No one knew at that time that if he had the opportunity to go to Beishebali again with Tuoba Mingde, he might even have the opportunity to kill the Duke again!"
Xia Xun led the way: "Yes, so he must pay special attention to the news from the Western Region. Timur's empire is in civil strife and has withdrawn its troops. It may not necessarily be certain that I am still safe and sound, but when we rush to Hami, there is no way to cover it up. He is in Hami
There must be an informant. He must have gotten the news by now. I am only worried now..."
Liu Yujue said: "Don't worry, the Duke. If he can escape the monk, but cannot escape the temple, where can Yu Jian escape to?"
Concubine Xun sighed and said leisurely: "It is his temple that I am worried about now! I am afraid that the abbot and abbot of that temple, in order to protect his temple, will kill Yu Jian, a young monk who brings troubles.
If you silence them, then...it's going to be really bad!"
Liu Yujue's face also became solemn: "That's right! From what I know, Ran Jigang, he can definitely do this kind of thing! If Yu Jian dies, I'm afraid he won't be able to bring down the enemy just by relying on the confession of Tuoba Mingde, the enemy spy.
Disciplined."
Xia Xun said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but that I can't defeat him! So Yu Jian must not die, he must fall into our hands!"
"Hehe..."
Xia Xun suddenly smiled and said: "Yu Jian is a man who cherishes his life. If my estimate is correct, he must have thought of this consequence now, so he is afraid of falling into my hands, but he will be even more worried about falling into Ji Gang's hands.
In this case, we may not have a chance to catch him!"
Xia Xun suddenly stood up, waving the cattail leaf fan and walked to the corridor. The floor was paved with terrazzo bricks and surrounded by log railings, forming a patio. There were dense grapevines growing above it, covering the stars and moon, but it was unusually cool.
Xia Xun suddenly said something without thinking: "Outside Yumen Pass, on the beach where there is no water, it can't flutter. When it gets here, it should have some effect!"
Liu Yujue followed up and said mihuo: "What did the Duke say?"
Xia Xun said slowly: "I said..."It's time to fight Ji Gang!"!.
