The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 126 Xu Miao's Mission

Xiao Qinzhi resisted going to Jingkou to participate in the Bei Ya Ji. Since the beginning of winter last year, Xiao Qinzhi got used to enclosing himself in a boxy space, turning this space into an independent world. , and found freedom.

But compared to Xu Miao, this trip to Jingkou seemed extremely exciting, so much so that at the moment of boarding the boat from Xijin Ferry, he fell asleep all the way to Hanting Ferry, and did not sleep until he was about to reach Dantu Get comfortable.

In the spring night sky, the stars will be clarified a lot, the grains are clear, the vast galaxy is like a curtain of dreams, just like the ferry at night, a few sparks dot the whole spring night, the newly drawn reeds and the tableau The river water, and the indispensable singing of insects, the vast galaxy is beautiful, and it is not as beautiful as the world.

Xiao Qinzhi stood at the stern of the boat, breathing in the mist of the spring night, his heart suddenly brightened, he changed his posture, leaning his back against the railing, and looked at Xu Miao, who was drinking and eating in the light of the chandelier in the cabin, with a smile The light made the drumstick in Xu Miao's hand more yellow.

Probably, it is really impossible to connect Xu Miao in Tsing Yi in Wu County with Xu Miao who is eating and drinking like a starved ghost reincarnated in front of him. What made Xu Miao change so much? After careful recollection in my mind, there was no answer.

As a result, Xiao Qinzhi couldn't help but feel a little owed.

It must be known that Xu Miao left Wu County and came to Wujin alone to seek refuge. What a great trust this is, but he himself was obsessed in that boxy space and ignored this trust.

Xiao Qinzhi sat down slowly, leaned on the railing, poured a glass of wine for Xu Miao, and another glass for himself, just like when he was studying in Wu Jun, invited wine, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, no one will follow you." You robbed me, I didn’t know that I, Mrs. Xiao, abused you.”

Xu Miao put down the half-gnawed chicken leg, looked at it with strange eyes, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, put it down, took another look, and wondered, "Brother Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Qinzhi rolled his eyes, wiped his head away, but felt a little sad in his heart, took a sip, changed the topic, and asked: "What's the matter, you sleep as soon as you get on the boat?"

Xu Miao gnawed a big chicken leg viciously, drank another glass of wine, and said, "You used to say that it is a happy thing to wake up naturally after sleeping. I didn't think so at the time, but now I know that Brother Qin is right. Getting a good night's sleep is what I want to do most now."

Xiao Qinzhi became more and more suspicious. It must be known that Xu Miao had a close relationship with him, and he enjoyed the honored guest treatment in the Xiao family. From this, he couldn't help but think of old man Cui. Except for him, no one in the Xiao family dared to send him. Xu Miao.

"What happened to old man Cui?"

Xu Miao's expression was very tangled, pitiful and respectful coexisted on another face, and finally became helpless, put down the chicken leg, and complained: "The old man wished I didn't sleep and read for twelve hours, my God, Brother Qin, Do you know? I feel drowsy when I read books now. These books are worse than the four young wits of Wu County. If you scold them, they will not respond. They will just look at you coldly. It really makes me bored, helpless, and even more boring .”

"Haha~" Xiao Qinzhi laughed out loud, and the scene of Xu Miao scolding the book appeared in his mind, making a child from a Confucian family so afraid of books, old man Cui is no one. "Then this time, old man Cui is willing to let you out to breathe?" Xiao Qinzhi asked again.

"How is it possible!" Xu Miao immediately denied it, and said quietly, "The old man assigned me a task. If the task is not completed, there is no need to go back."

"Ah?" Xiao Qinzhi was surprised and puzzled, "What task is so important?"

Xu Miao looked at Xiao Qinzhi by the candlelight spread on Xiao Qinzhi's body, his eyes were deep, and he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Brother Qin, from the midsummer of last year to the beginning of spring this year, you haven't noticed, have you changed?" ?”

Xiao Qinzhi woke up suddenly, pointed at himself, and said in surprise: "Your task is me?"

Xu Miao nodded without denying it, and said frankly: "The old man asked me to clarify the matter here, and also asked me to analyze the whereabouts of Zhongzheng in your state."

Xiao Qinzhi was silent for a long while, then tentatively asked: "Then have you figured it out?"

"The first one is clear." Xu Miao closed his eyes slightly, looked at the stars in the sky, pointed to a white star cluster on the east bank of the Milky Way, and said: "Brother Qin, Zhang Hua's "Natural History" records that in the east of the great river, There is a beautiful woman, who is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, a loom worker, who works every year to weave the clothes of cloud and mist silk. The hard work is full of joy, and her appearance is too busy to tidy up. The merits of the deer, the greed and joy will not return. The emperor's anger, the blame belongs to Hedong, and we meet once a year."

Following the direction of Xu Miao's finger, Xiao Qinzhi looked at Vega on the east bank of the Milky Way, took a deep breath of this spring night, and sighed: "How do you know?"

Xu Miao withdrew his hand, filled a glass, drank it alone, glanced sideways, and said angrily, "Brother Qin, are you afraid that I will talk nonsense?"

Xiao Qinzhi had to admit that Xu Miao gave him a hard time, but he didn't want to say some comforting words to dispel his doubts, so he nodded in embarrassment, and admitted generously.

"That's fine, I'm really afraid you'll find some excuses to perfunctory." Xu Miao filled up the two wine glasses in front of him, drank a glass together, and continued: "I've been with you for so long, I should have found out a long time ago. "

Xiao Qinzhi remained silent, drank his wine in a dull mood, and looked at Xinghe silently.

"However, I am fortunate enough to witness it from the sidelines, and I have no regrets. The strange woman deserves it. However, the regret of Brother Qin is not always true. You must know that the world is not a family of one word. It must be broken, and if you embrace the beauty, you dare to let no one in the world stop you. Wang Xie is no more than Han, Yuan, Yang, the fourth and third princes before him." Xu Miao's arrogance made Xiao Qinzhi extraordinarily surprising, you must know, count A month ago, Xu Miao just had the courage to leave home. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Xu Miao's change came from old man Cui.

Wang Xie's family is far inferior to the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong at the end of the Han Dynasty, but it is also like a moat, and ordinary people cannot cling to it. Xiao Qinzhi is well aware of the huge gap between the two, so he dare not Talking nonsense, but it doesn't mean you have to give up.

It's rare to fight a few times in life!
"So, Qin's brother will definitely not sit still and wait for death. There are five places in Jinling, Jiankang, Jiangzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. place." Xu Miaolie calculated a few whereabouts, but smiled, looked at Xiao Qinzhi, and said firmly: "According to my analysis, Jiangzhou Xifu and Xuzhou choose one."

"The person who raises the family, Jiangzhou Xifu; the person who raises people, Xuzhou." Xu Miao did not give an answer, but gave the answer again.

"Xuzhou!" Xiao Qinzhi affirmed, the secret that had been kept in his heart for a long time, had a third listener, and the depression in his chest was released, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Haha~" Xu Miao chuckled.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qinzhi stared sideways, puzzled.

"The old man is really good at predicting things like a god!" Xu Miao exclaimed.

"Damn it!" Xiao Qinzhi was shocked, he couldn't help swearing, his heart felt cold, and the old man Cui's horror had to be raised by another level in his heart, he became mature.

"Going back this time, I will study hard behind closed doors for three months. Xuzhou, I am also looking forward to it." Xu Miao said in a daze.

"Are you going too?" Xiao Qinzhi asked curiously.

"Xuzhou doesn't belong to your family, so why can't I go?" Xu Miao said sarcastically.

"Old man Cui's arrangement?" Xiao Qinzhi guessed.

"Hehe~" Xu Miao stopped talking after drinking a cup, and thought to himself: "Since I have obtained the true biography of the old man, I will naturally inherit his will." With a thought, he said deliberately: "I'm afraid I will scare you to death if I say it." , what the old man wants to do is far beyond your imagination, if you know, Wang Xie is not even considered by the old man."

Xiao Qin was stunned, as if he understood that the royal family is not as good as Wang Xie, his old heart may fly across Jiangzuo, chase the Central Plains, drive out the barbarians, and return the capital to Luoyang, what a great ambition.
So Xiao Qinzhi was really shocked!
