The northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the north of the capital, on the highest mountain of Mangshan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The white clouds on the mountain are fluttering, with no end in sight, and the last bit of daylight under the setting sun flickers between the clouds.

From the top of the mountain, the sun is dark and the twilight is dark.

The cool breeze is as light as a spring, and the sound is in the ears.

Liu Shuangli raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "It's good that Siyang is good, then the second senior brother is okay?"

"Brother Zipu is also very good. Xu Zhensheng replied.

Liu Shuangli nodded, looked at the birds that flew back to their nests in the mountains in the twilight, and said, "What about the Zhengbei Alliance, what is the news?" ”

"Due to the recent drought and white disaster in the north, there is a lack of funds, and the North League has also stopped many operations. Xu Zhensheng said again.

"Are they still in Changping County?" Liu Shuangli then asked.

"Most of them are still there. ”

"What about Lian'er's father?"

"In. ”

"Oh," Liu Shuangli smiled bitterly, "You people in the Han Mansion really understand everything clearly." ”

Xu Zhensheng raised his eyebrows lightly: "Why doesn't Miss Liu ask, who is in the Zhengbei Alliance, is Miss Lian'er's father?"

Liu Shuangli raised his lips and said with a smile: "If Brother Xu is willing to speak, I will listen to it." ”

"Why am I reluctant to say it?" Xu Zhensheng asked rhetorically.

Liu Shuangli opened his arms and stood facing the wind, the mountain wind was like a whistle, and the sound was heard.

"The Three Rivers Gang and the Zhengbei Alliance," Liu Shuangli said in the wind, "one south and one north, although they are not big gangs in the rivers and lakes, they are the two gangs in the north and south that have the closest ties with the imperial court." Isn't it strange that two gangs that should have no connection are connected to each other by a girl?"

Xu Zhensheng listened, but lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "This is actually not strange. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Zhensheng paused for a moment and said: "Miss Lian'er's father, originally a member of the Three Rivers Gang, met Miss Lian'er's mother by chance many years ago. participated in the battle nine years ago, survived by luck, and joined the Zhengbei League. That's the way it is, there's nothing surprising about it. ”

"Brother Xu understands it very clearly. Liu Shuangli praised again.

Xu Zhensheng's eyes closed slightly: "Speaking of Miss Lian'er's father, Miss Liu has also seen it." ”

"Who is it?"

"Ye Jinxin, the master of the five halls of the Zhengbei League. ”

"It's him. Liu Shuangli sighed slightly.

Xu Zhensheng nodded lightly.

"So," after a long time, Liu Shuangli shook his arms back and asked, "Brother Xu is here to save me and Lian'er from going out on this bandit mountain this time?"

Xu Zhensheng shook his head: "No." “

Liu Shuangli was stunned.

"Because Miss Liu doesn't need to be saved at all. ”

"Are you saying they didn't hurt me, so I don't need to be saved? But they didn't let me go. Liu Shuangli smiled bitterly.

"It won't be long enough. Xu Zhensheng said confidently.

"Soon?" Liu Shuangli was stunned again.

"They have found the Zhengbei League in Changping. ”

"Huh?"

"So, they will soon take Miss Liu to Changping. Xu Zhensheng said with a smile.

"What do they want to do? Use Lian'er as a hostage to threaten the alliance?" In the past month, Liu Shuangli has been curious about this question, but no matter how she asks those bandits, they are unwilling to answer, and today she can only ask Xu Zhensheng again.

"Hostages?" Xu Zhensheng shook his head, "Talking about hostages to Zhengbei League can only make people laugh." ”

"How?"

"With Zhang's loyal killing decision, no one or anything can threaten him. Even if his own son was on the other side of the battlefield, he would rush forward without flinching. Xu Zhensheng explained.

"In that case, why are they detaining my Lian'er?"

"For the sake of favors. ”

"Favors?"

"Send a favor to the North League. ”

"Huh?"

"A month ago, there was a sudden news in the rivers and lakes of the north. It is said that the daughter of Ye Jinxin, the fifth hall master of the Zhengbei League, is now on the Mangshan Mountain in Jingbei and is being well taken care of, so please ask the people of the Zhengbei League to come and claim it. And it was precisely because we heard the news that we knew that Miss Liu, you were not lost, but were taken captive here. ”

Liu Shuangli blinked, and first said strangely: "It turns out that your Han Mansion designated me and Lian'er as lost when the incident happened?"

Xu Zhensheng also blinked and smiled: "Then what does Miss Liu think of us?"

Liu Shuangli said with a smile: "It's quite scary to think about it." ”

Xu Zhensheng looked at his eyes and smiled: "Han Fu is not omnipotent. ”

"I know this," Liu Shuangli also smiled, turned back to the topic and asked, "Giving favors, what is this for?"

Liu Shuangli couldn't figure it out, as soon as he heard about the Zhengbei League that day, his face suddenly changed, and he looked as if he had a lot of hatred with the Zhengbei League. Why did you turn around this time, and you actually begged for someone, and you still went to give favors for this?

Xu Zhensheng naturally had this doubt, but he still replied calmly: "We are not sure about this. The third prince guessed that it might be a person from Jizhou, and he had something to ask for from the Zhengbei League. ”

The twilight is completely lost in the west mountain, and the other end of the eyebrow moon gradually rises to the east.

Liu Shuangli looked at the eyebrows that had climbed halfway up the mountain, paused for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's not to save me, then what is Brother Xu risking up tonight for?

Xu Zhensheng smiled: "Run errands and spread the news." ”

Letting Xu Zhensheng run errands is really overkill.

Liu Shuangli grinned and stretched out a hand: "What about the letter?"

Xu Zhensheng took out a letter from his bosom, flicked it lightly, and fell into Liu Shuangli's hand.

Liu Shuangli opened the letter, took out the potion in his arms, dripped it on the letter, and looked at it carefully by the rising moonlight, and gradually showed a shy smile on his face while looking at it. At the end, he said, "When will Brother Xu reply?"

"When will Miss Liu give it?"

"Half an hour at most. ”

"Okay, I'll wait here. ”

Liu Shuangli put away the letter, thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked again, "How much does Brother Xu know about the battle situation in the first section of Jibei in the battle nine years ago?"

Xu Zhensheng sighed slightly: "Because Jizhou has little to do with Hanfu, we don't know much." ”

Liu Shuangli stared at Xu Zhensheng with both eyes, as if he was puzzled: "Don't you really understand?"

Xu Zhensheng nodded solemnly: "I don't know much." ”

Liu Shuangli opened his mouth: "What about Chen Fan and Brother Chen's escape in fear of crime, does the Han Mansion know anything?"

Xu Zhensheng shook his head: "For the things of Jibei back then, the Han Mansion didn't spend much time to investigate, including what happened to Chen Fan back then, we really don't know much." ”

Liu Shuangli stared at Xu Zhensheng with both eyes, and after seeing Xu Zhensheng's expression as usual for a long time, he couldn't see any difference, so he withdrew his staring gaze and asked instead: "You already know about the defeat of the defeated army in Jibei here, right?" Liu Shuangli asked again.

This time, Xu Zhensheng didn't shake his head and say no, but gave a lot of information: "Of course, I have heard it before, and I know that the bandits on Mangshan Mountain in Jingbei are the defeated army of Jizhou, and I also know that they have an unusual relationship with Yan Luodian." ”

Liu Shuangli was taken aback: "What do they have to do with Yama Shop?"

"The specific relationship is not clear, but the relationship is very large. Xu Zhensheng glanced back and said.

"How could it be," Liu Shuangli couldn't help but take a step back, "Brother Chen, how could they have something to do with Yan Luodian?"

"Speaking of this Yama shop, it has long been woven throughout the entire northern territory of the Great Zhou. Xu Zhensheng frowned slightly and said, "And Miss Liu has also been answered before." Miss Liu, do you still remember the robbers you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encountered in Shanxi three years ago after escaping the fire that the Mongols were chasing and killing?"

Liu Shuangli couldn't help but shudder, and was stunned for a long time before replying, "Well, I remember." Didn't they get killed by you and Brother Li at that time? ”

Regarding this incident, Liu Shuangli may not be able to forget it in his life. Because this was the first time she had seen the ruthlessness of the guards in the Han Mansion, and it was the first time she was frightened by the tragic scene she had seen with her own eyes. And it was precisely because she was so frightened that night that she rushed out desperately in fear that Qin Siyang, who was chasing her, accidentally fell into the cave, and was able to get to know Brother Guan in the cave.

It's really too much of a coincidence, Liu Shuangli recalled that in the two years that she and Qin Siyang had been wandering together, they had always met different people and different things in such a coincidence.

There are bitter and sweet, only the one I saw when I met Brother Guan was so weak and bloody.

I saw Xu Zhensheng nodding slightly: "Those people were also soldiers of Datong, and they were displaced to the top of the mountain after the disaster of Datong, and they also had something to do with Yan Luodian." ”

"This-" Liu Shuangli was startled, and then silently, facing the evening breeze in the mountains, quietly listening to Xu Zhensheng's words below.

"I heard that the people of Yama Luodian also wanted to pull in the Zhengbei League, but Zhang Chengzhong, the head of the Zhengbei League, didn't want to have anything to do with these killers, so he became a family. ”

"Master Zhang is good," Liu Shuangli praised from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Xu, what do you think?"

"It's really good," Xu Zhensheng also agreed, "Not only me, but the third prince also thinks so." Thinking that year, the northern border defense was defeated one after another, and there were soldiers in Xuanhua, Jizhou and Datong, but although the soldiers of Xuanhua were the most tragic, the Zhengbei League was the most effective and the most praised. ”

Liu Shuangli nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Datong, I remember that Song Yeyuan of Peizhou is also a soldier of Datong, he, well, does he also have anything to do with Yan Luodian?"

"Song Guangxiao, I haven't heard that he has it. ”

"Oh, that's good. Liu Shuangli relieved his heart a little.

Xu Zhensheng's eyes blinked: "Does Miss Liu care about Song Zixiao very much?"

Liu Shuangli smiled humbly: "Master Song is kind to me after all." ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhensheng nodded lightly.

The evening breeze is cool, and the eyebrow moon is approaching mid-heaven.

Liu Shuangli apologized and went to the house to write a reply.

The lotus in the house is still asleep because of the fascination with incense.

Xu Zhensheng stood in the moonlight and waited.

In less than half an hour, Liu Shuangli walked out of the house and handed Xu Zhensheng a sealed letterhead.

Xu Zhensheng accepted the letter, bowed and saluted Liu Shuangli. Then one turned around and leaped down the mountain, and in a blink of an eye it became a black dot, lost in the night.

The effect of incense is only to make people who fall asleep, completely unaffected by the outside world, and there is no negative effect. So for Chen Fan, who is used to going to bed early, he didn't know that he had been fascinated for two hours. I woke up the next morning, but I felt refreshed and everything was business as usual.

As Xu Zhensheng came, this gang of bandits knew where the Zhengbei League was, but because the people from the Zhengbei League did not come to ask for people, they had to send people over by themselves. (To be continued.) )
