Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh wait for the rabbit
Because neither the King of Xiang nor the King of Han south of the Yangtze River currently have the ability to make progress in the north, the imperial court's defense of the river is very poor. The rivers and lakes have never been able to defend against large armies, and they cannot be careful. If the rivers that stretch thousands of miles are strictly controlled
How much will it cost to prevent it?
The Peach Blossom Fairy and a group of more than ten people set out from Wuchang and easily crossed the Yangtze River. It was not difficult to act carefully in the north. Another woman was Xin Wei, who had worked as a white-clothed guard in the provincial eunuch. There was a woman together.
, and they also took care of each other, while the other entourages were Kong Wuhanzi selected from the Provincial Escort.
They forged in advance that they could use fake and real roads to induce seals and other things, but this thing can only be used as a preparation for emergencies and cannot be used normally. After all, it is fake, and it is risky to take it out. The Ming Dynasty legally prohibited it except for some
People outside of specific people leave their hometowns without permission, so there is a way to lead such things; but the actual situation is not so easy to control. In the years of famine, refugees, peddlers and pawns, and those who run around the world, where is there any official official account?
The road leads, and it is still running around the world.
What's more, the sky is round and there is more than one road to go. If there are few people, you can avoid walking on the official road and pass, and choose a path that is more difficult to walk on. For example, Dabie Mountain is a huge obstacle to the mobilization of large troops, and the military can defend as long as it guards the pass.
; However, if there are groups of travelers in groups of three or five, it is also OK to avoid trouble climbing mountains and forests.
More than a thousand miles from Wuchang to Yangzhou, a group of people and horses were all equipped with light clothes, and arrived in less than ten days. Yangzhou was not threatened by military force, and the city was not martial law. Taohua Fairy and others pretended to have traders paid some money and went in. In advance
The two trucks of goods prepared were in vain. The gatekeepers didn't even have any inspections, let alone any road guides. The main reason was that they entered the city in the morning, and there were too many people entering and leaving the city gate. Some lived outside the city and specialized in selling vegetables.
, the most people are meat and some stalls; there has been nothing wrong in the city recently, and the soldiers will not check each other and congestion the roads. As for the road leaping... many people have never seen the officials, and they don’t know what the road leaping is.
Like, it will definitely be a waste of investigation to investigate this thing. It would be better to simply order people inside and outside Yangzhou City to prohibit entry and exit.
The Taohua Fairy found an inn near Beichenghe to stay in order to observe the situation near the Emperor's Palace and see if she had the chance to contact the eunuch Wang Gouer. However, this kind of thing that depends entirely on luck was too uncertain, so she decided again.
He tried to contact Yang Shiqi's daughter Luo Yaoniang; he wanted to get some help through her, after all, this woman was familiar with the local situation and the officialdom.
When I first arrived in Guizhou, everything was calm and my worries gradually improved. The Peach Blossom Fairy didn't want to act recklessly, so she used a more careful method: she ran to a street in front of Yang Mansion to set up a stall to sell mountain goods, waiting for the rabbit.
Yangzhou feels familiar and unfamiliar to the Peach Blossom Fairy. She used to sell private salt in the Yangzhou Prefecture area and lived for many years. But this place does not belong to her after all, and it is neither the hometown where she grew up, nor has a home here. Familiarity is true.
It's because I have left many memories here.
Some things that were very big at the time were blurred when recalling, but the irrelevant details made people easily think of. On a quiet night, an unforgettable face appeared in the villa, and he said: This kind of thing
The ones growing on the trees are ferns, but they are harmless to the big trees and can preserve moisture. The two coexist.
What she likes is not the increased knowledge, but the extremely gentle tone of his speech, the subtlety of the truth; and the very insightful impression that gives her good impression. In front of such a person, the Peach Blossom Fairy felt that she had received meticulously.
care.
Setting up a stall was very boring. When the Peach Blossom Fairy was observing the situation, she accidentally saw the tender grass growing under a stone. She remembered again what Zhang Ning said when she comforted Zhao Erniang.
He said: If the grass and trees do not grow their feet, they cannot move themselves and cannot choose land. They are much more helpless than humans to live. A seed of grass falls into the crack of the stone without luck, and faces a difficult living environment.
There is only a little bit of soil or stone chips, and it lacks water, but it still needs to survive and bloom green leaves. In order to see the sun, it can tear the solid stones apart and grow out of it. A tiny grass can
In this way, let alone human beings?
It seems that every grass and every tree can tempt people's longing.
...In this state, the Peach Blossom Fairy spent a few more days, and the group made no progress. She had a mission to come to Yangzhou and could not be spent like this. After thinking about it, she could only open up the situation through Luo Yaoniang. She had already
I was preparing to take the risk and directly go to Yang's house to post and try to meet him on the initiative.
Sure enough, things in the world are often bright. At this moment, I finally discovered the sedan chair from Yang's mansion. According to the female followers, it is very likely that the female clerk was sitting in the sedan chair, and it is possible that Luo Yaoniang was.
The Peach Blossom Fairy immediately left someone to guard the stall and followed him. The sedan chair stopped at a silk weaving shop. The person who walked out from inside, Taohua Fairy's eyes lit up. It was indeed Luo Yaoniang.
She followed into the shop. Because she was wearing a hat to cover her face, Luo Yaoniang did not notice her. The Peach Blossom Fairy slowly approached her, and Luo Yaoniang finally became alert. This girl was also a person who had been practicing martial arts and ran through the world.
, Sure enough, the sense of smell is very sensitive.
"Miss Luo, don't be safe." Taohua Fairy said softly.
Luo Yaoniang, who had noticed that she turned around, was dressed like a wealthy family, and her luxurious silk and ornaments were simple in color, which was different from the beauty of people in the dust. She applied a little powder on her face, without any trace.
.However, Luo Yaoniang is in her early twenties and I don’t know if she is getting married now, but she has a different temperament from ordinary girls. Her eyebrows that are almost as slender as her hairline and eyes put a little pressure on her. It seems that she is not
A easy-to-handle woman.
The Peach Blossom Fairy gently lifted the scarf in front of her face, and I believe Luo Yaoniang would definitely recognize her. The scar on the left cheekbones of the Peach Blossom Fairy was indeed not easy to forget those who had known each other.
"What's the point of doing this girl?" Luo Yaoniang said.
This made the Taohua Fairy stunned. She didn't remember herself? It's unlikely that the Taohua Fairy went to find her in the capital. The situation was a bit beyond the expectations of the Taohua Fairy, which made her not know how to answer for a while, "Luo Luo,"
Xiao Niang..." But I couldn't find the following sentence.
Luo Yaoniang immediately greeted the little girl beside her: "Let's go."
The Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't force her to keep her, so she had to look at her left behind in surprise and disappointment.
For the time being, he had to go back to the inn to clean up the situation. He had never thought about the situation if Luo Yaoniang refused to recognize them. The Taohua Fairy mentioned what would happen if Luo Yaoniang betrayed her, but Zhang Ning immediately decided that she would never do that;
I didn't think about this issue anymore. After all, going deep into Yangzhou is very risky, so there is no need to worry about a risk with very low possibility.
"Is this woman already married?" Taohua Fairy frowned, "If you have a husband's family, you will naturally no longer be willing to take risks and have something to do with our people."
Xin Wei, who was accompanying him, didn't understand the situation, so he couldn't talk to him.
The line was broken here by an important figure, and the Peach Blossom Fairy was helpless. Because this matter could not be combined with Jianwen's detailed work, he could not get help from anyone... Jianwen's people must have a stronghold in Yangzhou, and they will not give up.
Activities in such an important place.
As the night came, everyone didn't think of a solution and didn't even leave the room. Even the restaurant asked the shop to send the dinner to the room for dinner.
When it was getting darker, someone suddenly knocked on the door. The Taohua Fairy signaled her followers to ask first. A woman outside the door replied in a voice: "It's me, let me go in before talking." The Taohua Fairy hurriedly asked someone to open the door.
I saw a man wearing a sage scarf standing at the door. The hat was a kind of "big hat", which was a bit like the wide-edged iron helmet worn by the Ming army in the south. It was just cloth. The hats in the south of the Yangtze River were mostly popular.
A little older person wears it when he goes out. The big hat is pressed very low, and only the nose and mouth are visible, and there is thin rouge on his lips. He is obviously a woman.
The woman flashed in, and there was no one outside the door, and she came alone.
She took off the hat on her head and showed her face. It was indeed Luo Yaoniang. Luo Yaoniang looked back at the people around her. The Peach Blossom Fairy knew it and hurriedly said, "It's all my own people." But she still told everyone to go to another room first.
Room avoidance.
Luo Yaoniang then said, "I was a little surprised to see you suddenly during the day. But there are some things in recent days, and I dare not recognize you in that place."
"What's wrong?" asked the Peach Blossom Fairy.
Luo Yaoniang said: "In fact, it's not that something happened, but my father's situation is not good. Because there are rumors in the court, the hawks in the East Factory must naturally follow me. I was worried that there would be tails nearby when I went out, so I had to pretend not to know him.
, I hope you don’t blame me.”
The Taohua Fairy breathed a little relieved: "I thought Miss Luo was married before, so I didn't want to recognize us."
"I'm not as anxious as someone, I'll get married in panic..." Luo Yaoniang immediately looked out of her face, "I heard that Yu Tingyi (Yu Qian) was captured in Huguang, and his wife had been to the 'rebels' camp, and then
I was released. Then I sent someone to the capital to ask Mrs. Yu, and only then did I know that the man had married and started a family!"
After hearing this, the Peach Blossom Fairy understood that Luo Yaoniang still cared about Zhang Ning very much, otherwise she would not have sent someone to ask Mrs. Yu for help. However, Zhang Ning said that Luo Yaoniang refused to privately for Yang Shiqi's career.
I think even if she verbally says that people are indifferent and unfaithful, she can't blame others... Of course, she doesn't blame her. She should have a lot of concern in life, and she should consider herself. It's normal for human feelings. On the contrary, she has different feelings for someone.
It is a bit strange that people on the way can never forget it.
Luo Yaoniang was not particularly angry. After a while, she asked: "You were ordered by Zhang Ping'an to come to Yangzhou, what's the matter?"
So the Taohua Fairy briefly explained the origin and only agreed on a contact method with Luo Yaoniang, but did not get a reply she was willing to help.
