Jinyi Night Walk

The plumbing of the Spring River is hot.

After the cloud of war dissipated, shopping malls were the first to react.

The largest trading alley in Suzhou City has taken the lead in recovering its prosperity, and the streets are bustling with tourists.In addition to business contacts between businessmen and merchants, teahouses, restaurants and even brothel gambling houses are also located in it. Business travelers can discuss business in teahouses. After business negotiations, they can go to restaurants to buy drunk. Wine is the medium of sex. When drunk, they can go to brothels to buy sex. , after a night of fun, you can also go to the casino for a while, one-stop service.

Among them, there are also some artists who live here, such as Mu Sanshui, a storyteller in Lu Yu Tea House, is one of them.

Mu Sanshui has a wide body and fat body, fat head and big ears, and a big bald head, like a monk who knows guests in a large temple with a lot of incense.

Sitting at the table opposite him was a skinny little old man with a bitter and bitter expression on his face. He was dressed in coarse cloth and had a bag on his shoulders. In front of him was a bowl of unfinished pancake broth.This man was a small merchant named Feng Wanshun.

The book Mu Sanshui talked about today is a fairy tale about King Wu's defeat of Zhou. It was taken from "The Vernacular of King Wu's Conquest of Zhou" in the Southern Song Dynasty. , The two of them just choked on each other.

At this moment, the two made a bet that there was no 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 and came. The words written by Feng Wanshun were correct, and he said all of them, which made Feng Wanshun dumbfounded.

He jumped up abruptly, ran to the stage and lifted the tablecloth to have a look. The piece of paper on which he wrote a few lines was still lying in the desk, and he couldn't help being surprised.Mu Sanshui said triumphantly: "How? There is magic in this world? Let me tell you, I know how to do it, but if I know how to do it, there will naturally be someone who knows how to do it a hundred times better than me. Bing, that's no problem, you've already lost, bring the money!"

Feng Wanshun couldn't help but blushed and said: "You...you are all sorcery, maybe you are a white lotus demon!"

Mu Sanshui's expression changed suddenly: "What's the matter? Put on a big hat of the White Lotus Sect for me just to repay the bill, brothers, let him know who is the landlord in this alley!"

As soon as Mu Sanshui finished speaking, several burly men wandering around in the teahouse shook their arms and approached Feng Wanshun with an unfriendly expression on their faces. Feng Wanshun is a man who would risk his life and money, and he grabbed his bag tightly... screamed: "What are you guys doing? You're stealing things! You're extorting money, everyone come and see..."

The tea-drinking guests were watching, but the problem was that no one came out to help. Seeing that those sweaty men were about to snatch his bag, suddenly a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked into the teahouse and saw Mu Sanshui at a glance. , then beckoned and said: "Sanshui, hurry up, the master told us to go... there is a big deal!"

Mu Sanshui waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no hurry, ask me to accept the bet first!"

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man was in a hurry, rushed over and grabbed his sleeve, and said, "It's urgent, big deal, where is Qianqian?"

"..."

The thin-faced man understood as soon as he heard it, he picked up the Xingmu, slapped it on the table a few times, and shouted: "Ye Qianqian, come out quickly, the master told us to go, there is something urgent, hurry up!" !” Saying that, he dragged Mu Sanshui and left.

The boss has left, and the big helpers can't help but look at each other, wondering whether they should continue to blackmail this small businessman surnamed Feng.At this time, there was a creaking sound under the Mu Sanshui storyteller's table, and the tablecloth was lifted, and a person came out. Ruye, at some point, a person appeared.

The skinny man named Ye Qianqian chased Mu Sanshui out, and those big guys felt bored, gestured to each other, and then left the teahouse. At this moment, a kind teahouse waiter smiled at Feng Wanshun: "You are lucky today!" Okay, otherwise, you will lose your money. To tell you the truth, the two brothers Mu Sanshui and Ye Qianqian have the unique skill of double reeds. Others say that the double reeds are only matched by memorizing the words in advance, but the two of them, Even if the person hiding below said something that the person above didn’t know in advance, the person above can match his mouth perfectly, unless you keep staring at his mouth, or sit face to face with him, you can hear it. The voice did not come from his mouth, otherwise there would be no flaws."

At the same time, a few gray earthen-clothed men came in from the north gate of Suzhou City. Someone had already greeted him in front of the city gate, and asked with a smile, "Brother Gongsun, how is the result of this business trip?"

The man surnamed Gongsun said: "Hey, I looked at such a huge ancient tomb. I finally dug it open, but there was no gold or silver. I only took a copper unicorn, a copper cauldron, a copper two-pronged fork, two There is a copper basin, and a large number of pottery, and there are a few jars of ancient coins, but they are not worth a few pennies. I am about to dig another big one, and the master is eager to find us. Is there any big business?"

The person who was waiting for him laughed and said: "Brother Gongsun, I don't know the details, but the master said, if the deal is successful, it will last a lifetime!"

The man surnamed Gongsun was very excited when he heard this: "There is such a good thing? Let's go! Let's go see the master!"

People from all walks of life rushed to a big gambling house one after another. Seventeen or eighteen tables were set up in the gambling house. He said hello to his thugs, and walked through the casino 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 delighted. He immediately sent someone to report to Jingli and Emperor Yongle who was on the front line in northern Xinjiang, and then set off with his sick body to meet Xia Xun at Jiayuguan.

Xia Xun said in his letter that he was told to immediately control the matter of Hu Shang Tuoba Mingde, and he did not neglect. He sent his third son, Song Ying, to Suzhou to arrest Tuoba Mingde. Unexpectedly, when Song Ying arrived in Suzhou, he only captured a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The main target, Tuoba Mingde, and Yu Jian, whose alias was Hu Qiqi, were missing.

When he broke into Tuoba Mingde's rented Ma Mansion and arrested people, all of Tuoba Mingde's subordinates were there, and it seemed that he didn't know his identity was leaked. So Song Ying sent someone to report to his father, and at the same time interrogated the prisoner himself, hoping to find out the whereabouts of Tuoba Mingde and Yu Jian.

But these people were dead men sent by the Timur Empire, it was not easy to get news from them, Song Ying had no choice but to torture them and torture them overnight.

Song Ying turned a Suzhou city upside down. When Tuoba Mingde and Yu Jian were arrested, Song Sheng had already received Xia Xun and his surviving soldiers in Jiayuguan.According to Song Ying, Xia Xun had been missing for a long time, and he and King Hami Tuotuo sent their own troops to search the eight hundred miles of the vast sea, but they could not find Fu Xun's whereabouts. Judging from the situation at that time, it was clear that it was a bad luck. Had to report the truth to the emperor.

Emperor Yongle was chasing and killing Ben Ya in the desert at that time, and it was already the beginning of spring this year when he got the news. Emperor Yongle was very sad when he learned of Xia Xun's misfortune, but he couldn't deal with it at that time, so he only ordered Song Sheng He adjusted his military deployment to take charge of Xiliang's defense, and at the same time passed an edict to Beijing, preparing to return to Jinling after the war ended, and then take care of the affairs of the auxiliary state.

Now many preparations for Fu Guogong's funeral have been completed, including posthumous title, sacrificial text, tomb, scale of funeral, and he is also planned to be crowned King of Hanzhong. Fortunately, he came back in time. After finishing all the funeral affairs, if he comes out alive and kicking, the Ming Empire will probably encounter an unprecedented problem: the posthumous king of the county is alive again, how should this prince be dealt with?

Immediately afterwards, Song Sheng informed Xia Xun of the arrest of Tuoba Mingde and Yu Jian. While exchanging with each other what had happened in the past half a year, they also rushed to Suzhou.The two places are not far apart, sixty or seventy miles away, and after a day, they will enter Suzhou City in the evening.

When he entered the city, officials from all over the world greeted him, and after a very busy time, he was able to move into the official residence specially vacated for him by the Wei Yamen in Suzhou. As for the dinner, he had to wait a little longer. The group of people didn't say they were disheveled, but their faces were covered with dust and sweat stains. They had to take a bath and change clothes first to clean up.

Under the clothes of Xilin and Rangna, 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 hadn't entered the water yet, and Tang, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, Then Sai'er broke in, she was not willing to take a bath alone when someone was taking a bath with her, she naturally wanted to take a bath with Sirin and Jeanne.

The three beauties, two big, one small, and three beauties were dressed neatly, not to mention taking a bath in the water, Xia Xun, who had already bathed, had already gone to the flower hall to rest.

The servants had already waited for the tea to come, and it happened to be neither hot nor cold, so Xia Xun sat down on the bamboo and rattan armchair and drank the tea.

At this time, Xia Xun was dressed in a light jade robe, wearing a futo, and a piece of fresh emerald jade was inlaid in the middle of the futo. The whole person was gentle and suave, but his complexion seemed darker, so it was amazing. At first glance, he looks like a son and grandson, but the fan he is shaking in his hand can't help but make people laugh. This son is not shaking a folding fan, but a big cattail fan. It's cool, and it matches his dress. But there are some nondescript.

After a while, Liu Yujue, who had finished bathing, rushed over. Xia Xun looked very handsome at first, but compared with Liu Yujue, he immediately looked much inferior. Liu Yujue had a fair and clean face, as if he couldn't get tanned Yes, wearing a moon-white bullet-ink plum-blossom soap-colored trim collar light dress, elegant young man, beautiful as jade, compared to Xia Xun, he is more than half a chip stronger.

"Duke, just now the Marquis of Xining said that he has found out the whereabouts of Tuoba Mingde. Song Ying took people out of the city to arrest him. The details are not known yet. We have to wait for Song Ying to come back. After the banquet tonight, please rest first." , Song Ying will definitely come back in the next three or two days, we happen to rest in Suzhou City for a few days, we don't have to travel this way, we feel uncomfortable all over!"

Xia Xun nodded and asked, "Is there any whereabouts of Yu Jian?"

Liu Yujue said: "Not yet, I'm afraid that Yu Jian's whereabouts will also fall on that Tuoba Mingde."

Xia Xun frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not! Although I'm in a deep trap, it's not like no one knows my life and whereabouts. Ying Zhan, his wife and Yu Jian both know about it, but I When I arrived at Hami, King Hami Tutuo was inexplicably surprised, completely unaware that I was still alive before, and I knew then that it might not be so easy to catch Yu Jian."

Liu Yujue sat down next to Xia Xun, and said in a sleepy voice, "What does the Duke mean?"

Xia Xun said: "Winning Zhan and his wife helped me, but concealed the news that I was in Bili. This is understandable. If I survived, I will never forget their kindness, and if I die, they will not forget it." Being implicated, once Timur's army really breaks through Jiayuguan and goes straight to the Central Plains, he can also use his friendship with that country to protect himself. Later, Timur died, retreated, and the dust settled, and he didn't say anything It is necessary to come out, because if he speaks out at this time, he will not be able to explain to others the reason why he did not say it before. But why didn't Yu Jian say it?"

Liu Yujue's eyes flickered slightly, and he rushed to say: "I understand! Yu Jian's heart is not dead, and he also hoped that the Duke of Yu had an accident in Bieshabali. He was in charge of Tuoba Mingde at that time. At that time, no one knew that if he had the opportunity to go to farewell with Tuoba Mingde again, he might even have the opportunity to put the Duke to death again!"

Xia Xun led the leader and said: "That's right, so he must pay special attention to news from the Western Regions. The civil strife and retreat of the Timurid Empire may not be able to confirm that I am safe and sound, but we rushed to Hami, and we couldn't hide it at all. He was in Hami. There must be an eyeliner, now, he must have got the news, I am only worried now..."

Liu Yujue said: "You don't have to worry, Duke, if he can run away from a monk but not from a temple, where can Yu Jian escape to?"

The concubine sighed, and said leisurely: "What I am worried about now is his temple! I am afraid that the abbot of the temple will kill Yu Jian, a young monk who caused trouble, in order to preserve his temple. Shut up, then... it's really bad!"

Liu Yujue's expression also turned serious: "That's right! Based on what I know, Ran Jigang, he can definitely do this kind of thing! If Yu Jian dies, I'm afraid he can't be brought down just by the confession of Tuoba Mingde, an enemy spy. Ji Gang's."

Xia Xun said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but that it won't be overthrown! So Yu Jian must not die, and must fall into our hands!"

"Heh..."

Xia Xun suddenly smiled, and said: "Yu Jian is a person who cherishes his life very much. If I guess right, he must have thought of this kind of consequences now, so he is afraid of falling into my hands, but he is even more worried about falling into Ji Gang's hands." In this case, we may not have a chance to catch him!"

Xia Xun stood up suddenly, waving cattail fan and walked to the corridor. The terrazzo brick floor and log railings on all sides constituted a patio. On it was densely grown vines, which covered the stars and the moon, but it was unusually cool.

Xia Xun suddenly said without thinking: "Outside Yumen Pass, on the sandy beach where there is no water, it can't throb. It should have some effect when it gets here!"

Liu Yujue followed, mihuo authentically: "What did the Duke say?"

Xia Xun said slowly: "I said..." It's time to fight Ji Gang! "!.
