That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 570

On the fifth day of October, Feng Lang arrived in Beijing. He also arrived in Beijing with Zhang Xueyao's betrothal gift for Xu Beiyou. A total of twelve large boats crossed the Dongjiang Grand Canal, allowing the entire imperial city to see Jiangdu Xu once again. The son's wealth.

It wasn't Xu Beiyou's deliberate extravagance, but the fact that he was married to the Tian family, and the gifts were very particular. After the selection of these twelve large ships, there would probably be no one in ten, and most of them were exquisite objects, which were not suitable for large-scale storage. As a result, each ship can't fit too many things.

Han Xuan did not shy away from it, and directly recruited dozens of carriages to transport the unloaded dowry gifts into the mansion in a mighty way, attracting countless onlookers along the way. Some well-informed common people in the market began to tell the people around him that Mr. Xu was in the palace. How about Jiangdu, both good and bad, it is said that he has a large fleet of ships in Jiangdu, countless industries, and even built a mansion, occupying a square of land, and that square was originally where the Taoists in the city lived, called Dao Shufang, this Mr. Xu did not hesitate to expel all the Taoists in Jiangdu City from the city, and even the Sansi Yamen did not dare to take care of it. In addition, the incident of Qiutai that night was also vaguely spread, which made it even more obvious that this Mr. Xu The son is lawless to the extreme.

But even so, the people still look up to him invisibly in their hearts, and dare not compare him with other dudes who rely on the power of their fathers to do their best and bully the weak and fear the hard. Which one is good stubble?Since this Mr. Xu can force them down, he must be a powerful character with unusual wrists. Maybe in a few years, his voice will be heard in the court.

Those who came to Beijing with the betrothal gift this time, in addition to Feng Lang, there were also many sword masters and swordsmen from the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall. Everyone rode their horses with their swords in their hands. Amazing.

At this time, many people suddenly realized that besides being the adopted son of Mr. Han Ge, this Mr. Xu was also the disciple of the master of the Sword Sect, Sun Zhongmou, and even the young master of the Sword Sect today. In the previous dynasty, it was magnificent, but at any rate, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. Several monks and big brothers had their heads smashed in Jiangdu successively, which shows that today's Jianzong is not a soft persimmon that everyone can knead at will.

When these strangers with sharp weapons passed by at close range, the eyes of the onlookers on both sides of the road were not only surprised, but also somewhat imperceptible fear. When was the last time a large number of swordsmen entered the emperor?It seems that in the 37th year of Zhengming Dynasty, Princess Qingxue, Zhang Xueyao, came to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Dazheng Shenzong, accompanied by a large number of swordsmen and guards. Everyone carried swords, and also attracted a large number of people to watch.

That time, Princess Qingyue Lin Yinping also came with her. The two princesses can be said to be bright and dazzling for a while. Stand upstairs and watch from a distance.

In a blink of an eye, more than 60 years have passed by in a hurry.

Most of the noble princes of the imperial capital back then had already fallen into the loess, and even if there were a few alive, they were all dying of old age. Among the two princesses, only Zhang Xueyao is still alive, and the other princess, Lin Yinping, died in Taiping. He passed away in the first year, so counting, it has been 22 years.

Today, the juniors of the two princesses are about to get married. People can't help but sigh, white clouds and dogs, things are different.

A Taoist priest and a "woman" were also standing by the roadside, but they didn't huddle with the onlookers, they just stood quietly at the end, watching the long convoy pass by.

This "female" looked at the carriages full of rare treasures, her eyes were calm, without the enthusiasm that a woman should have, and she smiled lightly: "Jianzong is so rich, it is indeed the sect that has occupied the Wei Kingdom for thousands of years. , this kind of background, I am afraid that the Confucianism and Buddhism are incomparable, so it is no wonder that the Daoists want to dig three feet on Biyou Island, vowing to find the treasure of Jianzong."

The Taoist beside him smiled lightly and said, "If this wealth is used by tens of thousands of people, it won't be much, but if it is all in the hands of one or two people, then it is what you call rich."

Murong Xuanyin, who is even more beautiful than most women in the world, nodded and said: "The reason is this, not to mention the Taoist sect whose inheritance is still above Jianzong, but the imperial court. It’s a year of embarrassment, in the final analysis, there are too many people spending money and too many places to spend money.”

The Taoist, or Qingchen said plainly: "Although Xu Beiyou is only one person, he has placed the expectations of the Han family, Zhang family, and Gongsun family on him, especially the latter two. Although they are not as good as before, they still say that, A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Xiao family sees this very clearly, so they willingly married their daughter to Xu Beiyou, without losing face."

Murong Xuanyin asked slowly: "If Jianzong boards the imperial ship, will it be affected?"

Qing Chen shook his head and said: "No, the reason why Jianzong will go to the imperial court's big ship is to seek the imperial court's help to fight against the Daoist sect. Not coming to the imperial capital actually has a profound meaning, if Xu Beiyou falls into the quagmire of the imperial capital, then the Jianzong who is far away in Jiangdu will probably choose a strong man to cut off his wrist."

Murong Xuanyin said with a smile: "Both of these girls are ruthless people, Zhang Xueyao is determined to be ruthless, Xu Beiyou is even more willing to enter the game in person, even if he loses the bet, he won't be too bad, but if he wins the bet, Jianzong really has the possibility of turning around .”

Qingchen said: "I have heard about Zhang Xueyao's ruthlessness many years ago. It's not surprising, but Xu Beiyou, a young man, can have such a heart. It's beyond my expectation. It's someone else. , Facing this situation, especially if you have to enter the game yourself, the safety and danger are unpredictable, and you will inevitably feel resentment, but he can take the initiative to propose to go to the imperial capital alone, which really makes me a little impressed."

Murong Xuanyin hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Have you found out about Xu Beiyou's background?"

Qing Chen asked back: "So what can we do if we find out? An old debt, in terms of the current situation, is not of much benefit."

Murong Xuanyin said: "I just want to make a casual move, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Qing Chen said flatly: "I advise you not to waste your time, after so many years, Han Xuan and Gongsun Zhongmou must have made arrangements, and you only think of it now to make plans, not one step behind, but more than ten steps behind. "

Murong Xuanyin snorted, "That's true."

Qing Chen said: "Let's go out of the city to pick up people."

Murong Xuanyin chuckled, "I have to say that compared to the literati hiding behind and shaking their fans, the warriors who came out of the battlefield are more courageous, and the one who won't enter the imperial capital for fear of being left behind to die However, this one is rushing to the imperial capital, afraid that he will be one step late."

Qing Chen didn't comment, turned and left.

Murong Xuanyin looked back at the convoy that was drifting away, and then left.

Another five days will be the tenth day of October, which is the auspicious day for Nacai calculated by Qin Tianjian.

On this day, Han Xuan and Xu Beiyou, father and son, will send the dowry to the imperial city, and then Xu Beiyou will have to meet the emperor and empress alone, and finally the current emperor and the kings will host a banquet in person.

This is the gift of acceptance.
