The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 297
On the gold list, I occasionally missed the lead.How should the temporary survivors of the Ming Dynasty find their way?The unsuccessful situation is easy, and the contention is frantic.Why should it be lost?A gifted poet, he is in white clothes.

……

During the Lantern Festival, the fire trees and silver flowers never go night.

On both sides of the Qujiang River, colorful lanterns are reflected in the water, which is so rich that it cannot be melted away.The water surface is like a canvas, dyed with ink and wash, and the pavilions and pavilions carved with beams and painted buildings in the daytime are vividly transformed into a misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River.

There is a small stone arch bridge in the waterway of the street and alley, and the small bridge has a long and clear charm.The awning boats with exquisite palace lanterns passed through the arch bridge and shuttled back and forth on the river surface, causing circles of ripples.

The full moon hangs high, the lights are dim, the smoke is cold, the water is moon, and the sand is caged.

Diagonally across from the arch bridge, there is a Linshui restaurant. There are few customers tonight, and the guys are standing at the door, looking at the lanterns on the cruise ship.

On the second floor of the restaurant, there was only one person, dressed in white, reckless and unruly.

Bai Fu leaned on the porch pillar, staring at the small stone arch bridge in a daze, raised his head, and poured the strong wine from the gourd into his mouth.

Xu Taifu sighed softly back then, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears:
"Unfold the word loneliness, there are children, melons and fruits, puppies, mosquitoes and flies. Midsummer and summer nights, ordinary alleys, young children holding melons, small dogs chasing butterflies. Such a bustling noise, but none of it has anything to do with you— — that's called loneliness."

How wonderful it would be if the years were quiet and the light and shadow were solidified...

……

"Da da da", someone went upstairs.

The man walked up to Bai Fu and sat down, said with a smile: "It's such a good night, drinking alone, do you feel bored?"

Bai Fu was immersed in his own world, turning a blind eye to anyone who came.

The man didn't take it seriously, and said: "Your Excellency, I wonder if I can borrow the old man to taste the wine in the gourd?"

Without looking back, Bai Fu stuffed the gourd to the visitor.

The man uncorked the wine, took a sip, sipped two mouthfuls, and said, "Your wine is too strong, and it's hard to drink. Is it the cheapest wine in this wine shop?"

Bai Fu finally opened his mouth and said, "The one that is the easiest to get drunk."

The man smiled appreciatively.

The visitor looked at the table, it was empty, and frowned, "Why don't you even have any appetizers, what the hell?"

Bai Fu said leisurely: "Memory is wine."

The visitor couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile: "What you drink is not wine, it's loneliness, right?"

Bai Fu remained silent.

The visitor opened the food box he brought, took out a handful of jade pots and two wine cups, poured a glass and handed them to Bai Fu: "Have a taste of my wine?"

Bai Fu drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Good wine! Kunlun Shang?"

The visitor praised: "Know the goods! But how can a person who can taste Kunlun Shang be able to drink and burn knives?"

Bai Fu said: "It is impossible to have Kunlun Shang every day, there are burning knives everywhere."

The visitor said: "Don't ask me who I am, just drink it up in one gulp. Aren't you afraid that the wine may be poisonous?"

Bai Fu said indifferently: "I haven't discussed the business yet. If I want to poison, I guess it will be the next drink."

The man clapped his palms and laughed loudly, and said: "As expected of being Taifu Xu's closed disciple, he has the same courage and arrogance!"

When Bai Fu heard the word Xu Taifu, he turned around.

The visitor was very old, with a dignified manner, a gray beard, triangular eyes, deep-set law lines, and a knife in his smile. At first glance, he looked like a person who held great power and could take life and death.

The visitor was all smiles, and reported his family name: "Old man Li Linfu, I have some relationship with you."

Startled, Bai Fu involuntarily pushed his right hand towards the hilt of his sword.

Li Linfu smiled, waved his hands, and said, "This old man doesn't know martial arts. Please be safe and don't be impatient, Young Master Bai."

Bai Fu's face was ashamed, and he said in his heart: "As expected of Zaifu, unarmed, but aggressive. Compared with this old world, I am still too young.

However, why did he come here uninvited? "

Li Linfu seemed to have read Bai Fu's mind, and said with a smile: "I came this time to discuss a business with you. If we can negotiate, we will be allies."

Bai Fu snorted coldly and declined to comment.

Li Linfu was calm and poured a glass for himself and Bai Fu respectively.After clinking glasses with Bai Fu, Li Linfu drank it all in one gulp, blood flushed on his pale face.

Li Linfu said with a smile: "In the officialdom, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. After all, there is no real deep hatred between us, and trivial conflicts can be resolved."

Bai Fu glanced at Li Linfu with lightning-like eyes.

Li Linfu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't it?

First, the person I Mu Sheng offended was only the daughter-in-law of Yongwang Li Lin;
Second, although I have deprived you of the qualification of the Tiger's Ben Army, the Tiger's Army is nothing more than a royal guard of honor and a whitewash for His Majesty, and it is not as beneficial as you and the Taifu studying in Hongwen Museum.

From this point of view, you should also thank the old man. "

Bai Fu was about to get angry, when he thought about it carefully, although what Li Linfu said was harsh, it was also true.The words are rough and the rationale is not rough.

Bai Fu smiled lightly, played with the wine glass in his hand, and said: "You are a dignified minister, and you are just a commoner, so I really can't think of any use value?"

Li Linfu chuckled, and said, "Young Master Bai, don't be modest. To tell you the truth, this old man has been watching you for a long time. You are the best candidate for this matter."

Bai Fu remained silent, staring at Li Linfu.

Li Linfu smiled happily, poured another glass of wine for Bai Fu, and said, "I want to ask you to come out of Beijing and kill someone for this old man."

Bai Fu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Master Li, if I remember correctly, it seems that you and I don't have such a deep friendship?"

Li Linfu smiled and said: "Those who achieve great things don't ask about friendship, only about benefits. For You Xiaer, do you need a reason to kill him? If so, you have at least one reason to kill him."

Bai Fu's eyes were cold: "Who?"

Li Linfu dipped his finger in the wine and wrote two words on the table: "Yang Zhao"

Bai Fu was taken aback, and said, "If you want to kill him, why aren't you in Chang'an?"

Li Linfu looked at the toad moon, fascinated: "Everything is different from political affairs. Power games are the bloodiest, cruelest, and most exciting games in the world. Power struggles are life and death, and you can be insidious and cunning. But even power struggles have An unwritten hidden rule - no assassination in the capital.

Assassination is the bottom line of power struggle.If this bottom line is broken, everyone in the court will be in danger, and no one will be a winner.

But any rule has its scope of application.This unspoken rule is no exception, and it is limited to the capital.After leaving Chang'an, the powerful ministers no longer have this amulet.

Therefore, if cronies strife, if you can't put your political opponents directly into the sky prison, ransack their homes and destroy their families, you must find ways to demote your opponents out of Beijing.

Yang Guozhong's battle in Nanzhao was only a short leave. As long as Yang Yuhuan is favored, he will make a comeback.Transferring him out of Beijing this time is the best time to do it. "

Bai Fu drank the wine in his glass and asked, "Why did you find me?"

Li Linfu took some time off and said with a smile: "If Yang Guozhong dies, I will be the biggest beneficiary in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, I am also the most suspected. Therefore, the assassin cannot be one of my subordinates.

Yang Guozhong was escorted by the Huben army during his trip to Nanzhao, and there are only a few masters under my command who can kill him.Therefore, on the day of the assassination, they must have evidence of their alibi.

Secondly, the enmity between you and the old man is well known, if you make a move, no one will suspect that you are joining forces with me.

Again, you are also the beneficiary of the whole thing.Yong Wang Li Lin is ambitious, he is willing to condescend to marry your junior sister, the ulterior motives are in the pillow of the noble concubine.If Yang Zhao died, the line between Yongwang Li Lin and the imperial concubine would be broken.At that time, he will definitely find a reason to regret the marriage.With your junior sister's character, she will obediently throw herself into your arms.

Of course, it's fine for this kind of woman to play around, but I advise you not to take it seriously.You can 'send charcoal in the snow' to avenge this death.It's also okay to stand on the sidelines and watch how she is desperate and regain your lost dignity.

In the end, Yang Guozhong was willing to be his daughter and dismissed you as a servant of Hongwen Museum.The enmity between you and him is over, as long as he returns to Chang'an and is promoted to Shangshu Zuo Pushe, you will never have a chance to stand out.

Therefore, getting rid of him is in our common interests and the basis of our alliance.

For you, it is killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone.

In the decisive battle on the eve of the Yuan Dynasty and the top of the Forbidden City, your name shocked the capital and was admired by thousands of people.Ke Kong has a peerless martial arts, but he was bullied by others, and even his women were taken away.Aren't you aggrieved?The hatred of taking away a "wife" can be tolerated by scholars, but it cannot be tolerated!

In my humble opinion, instead of feeling hurt and sighing alone by the river, it is better to give it a go, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, and kill him without leaving any behind!

May I ask who is the opponent in the world?Cao Liu! "

　reference poem

　　1. Separate the two words of loneliness, there are children, melons and fruits, puppies, mosquitoes and flies, enough to support an alley entrance in a midsummer evening, full of human touch.Young children hold melons and willows under the canopy, and dogs chase butterflies in the deep alley.The world is full of laughter and prosperity, but I am the only one with spare temples.Children, fruits, cats, dogs, and flies are of course lively, but they have nothing to do with you. This is called loneliness. ——Lin Yutang
　　2 On the gold list, I even missed the top spot.How to go to the temporary sages of the Ming Dynasty.Attempts will be made, and the struggle will not be unrestrained.Why talk about death?A talented poet is naturally a gentleman in white.

　　Fireworks alley Mo, Yiyo Danqing barrier.Fortunately, there are people you want to visit.And snuggle red and Yi Cui, romantic affairs, life smooth.Youth is paid.Shinobu changed the floating name and sang a low voice!
