Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Tower of Qingming

It only took a month!

Two pieces of news from different sources spread throughout the Song Realm:

The tourist merchants scattered in the tourist resort Tie Ma Village said that Bai Qing had the help of three immortals, the male fairy in black walked in the sky, the female fairy in red had unparalleled charm, and the fairy in white was fascinated by illusion!

Tanyuan City returned to Song Zhi, and the missing third master of the Bai family who was told by Sergeant Shuwen appeared, leading hundreds of crossbowmen to show their might, scaring off tens of thousands of strong troops in Northern Xia, and surrendering soldiers without a fight!

As these two pieces of news spread more and more, combined with various rumors from the south of the Shenyu Mountains. Most people have already guessed Bai Qing's intention: to subdue the border pass and support the Eastern Song Dynasty!

As is the case today, the teachings of the sages educate the people to be loyal to the army and encourage the emperor to love the people. The orthodox ideas of the Zhao and Song dynasties are naturally the most popular.

To paraphrase this kind of thinking, Bai Qing's appearance at this time is simply appropriate!

Bai Jia, the founding father of the Eastern Song Dynasty. Bai Qing is the only son of the contemporary head of the Bai family!

Sheji, the Eastern Song Dynasty changed hands and was usurped by eunuchs. The Eastern Song Dynasty Zhao family must be supported!

Military strength, the Bai family's army is far and wide, and the Bai Li God crossbow battalion has joined, which is unprecedentedly powerful!

Bai Qing, one person can break the city, with the help of many immortals.

Such a background, such a combat power, if you have to say something almost. Only the world voted for fame, and ten thousand soldiers were attached!

For a while, the momentum of the Divine Crossbow Camp and Bai Qing can be described as unparalleled for a while!

The willingness of the Eastern Song Dynasty to support the world had sustenance at this time. And two powerful neighbors are also alarming.

After all, in their opinion, even Emperor Taizu of the Eastern Song Dynasty 300 years ago had never gained the vast prestige of Baiqing today!

"It's so exciting!"

Yuan Sheng threw the tabloid in his hand to Ah Mei and walked to the window by himself. From the top of these four floors, you can see the magnificent scenery of Bianjing at a glance.

Qingming Building, in Bianjing City, is the only restaurant with a four-story viewing room. Covering a wide area, the decoration is gorgeous, and there is nothing to compare with one or two. Dignitaries and dignitaries, giants and Confucians, all linger here!

Such a doorway, a restaurant that is making money every day. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it stands to reason that it will not last long. However, Qingming Lou has never been so worried, and the mystery is in this name.

In fact, the word Qingming is not created by the restaurant.

According to legend, the proprietor of the restaurant was originally a compiler in the palace during the reign of the first emperor. Compilation is not an official position, but is only responsible for copying and writing in the Royal Academy. The only good thing is that you have the opportunity to see the true face of the Son of Heaven from afar, and so on.

His Majesty Yingzong was still the crown prince at that time, and he often studied in the academy!

The prince saw that his father was diligent day and night, and the world was peaceful, and he felt sorry for his father and admired it in his heart. He wrote and framed a painting with his own hands and dedicated it to his beloved father.

The codifier seems to have had a lot of luck. On the day of the prince's election, he was on duty, and he was ordered to slowly spread out the scroll for the prince!

Prosperous Qingming!

There are only four words in it, but the two lords of the former emperor and the crown prince rarely get together together.

The scene of father's love and filial piety, only this compiler was present, and he also received some two people's care.

Soon after, the first emperor died and Yingzong ascended the throne. The compilation resigned and left the palace, and Yingzong gave gold and silver. So this person opened this restaurant in Bianjing City.

He gave the restaurant a name: Qingming. It is derived from the words that Yingzong dedicated to the emperor back then.

I have to admire the ingenuity and agility of this proprietor, just the word "Qingming", and slapped the two emperors on the back at once! The emperor was happy when he heard this, and gave him the word from the imperial treasury and let him hang it in the store!

As a result, Qingming Building has such a scale.

Before the three of them entered the city, they had seen this high-rise building other than the palace from afar. Therefore, after entering the city, I went straight to this place and chose this Tianzi No. 1 room to live!

The service of the Tianzi room is very good, in addition to the decoration is more luxurious, the utensils are more exquisite, the wine and food are more colorful, and the guests will also collect all kinds of tabloids in the city. This kind of tabloid is all-encompassing and greatly satisfies the needs of guests.

In the tabloids of the past few days, the most prominent position is all kinds of rumors about Bai Qing. Fang Cai Yuansheng read the description of a station in Tanyuan City in today's tabloids.

"Are you still angry at the tabloids that you will only act in vain?"

Ah Mei took the tabloid, teased Yuansheng, and read it curiously with Xiaomeng. In addition to Bai Qing's news, they are more interested in some gossip stories.

Soon I turned to a serialized story that I read every day. Judging from the second girl's eyebrows, she likes the tabloid very much.

"I'm going out. ”

With that, Gensheng disappeared in front of the bed.

Ah Mei frowned slightly and looked out the window with a worried look.

Ink waterfall black paint hair wind,

If the clouds are heavy, the sky is blowing.

Deep and deep eyes look at the void,

Su Yu Changsu finger buckle.

Yuan Sheng's black shirt and black hair stood solemnly on the bank of the Bianhe River, his hands were interlocked behind his back, and his eyes were looking into the sky.

It was already dusk, and he didn't know that he was already the same scene as the willows on the riverbank. Although passers-by are drunk and reluctant to leave, no one is willing to disturb them, they are all silent and lingering, for fear of breaking this artistic conception!

Ever since he came to this Bianjing City, Yuan Sheng always felt that a voice as thin as a gossamer was calling him. Whether it's dead of night or noisy, you can't really hear it, but it always sounds.

Unintentionally, when Yuan Sheng found himself close to the Bianhe River, the voice seemed to be a little clearer, and he vaguely felt comfortable and quiet. Anyway, it's okay, so I come here often.

From the perspective of others, it is speculated that there is some special meaning here, and this son is full of feelings. In addition, this boy was born so handsome and elegant, in a few days, it gradually became a scene of the Bianhe River.

Yuansheng didn't tell where he went, and it wasn't until he read it in a tabloid one day that he was known by the second daughter. When asked, Gensheng said about the summoning. Xiao Meng was only curious, but Ah Mei was faintly worried, but seeing that he went every day but nothing happened, he didn't say anything more.

"The person of Tianzi No. 1, what did you find?"

There was no change, the man still went to Bianhe every day in a daze, and the two women stayed in the room all day. ”

"Is it mistaken? It can't be, the difference between a man and a woman is very consistent with the description of the Lord!"

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again:

"Give you three days, these three people must die, go down!"

The gloomy room was filled with smoke, and a quaint incense burner burned with strange incense. Behind the incense burner, a figure sat on a couch, surrounded by jade. It was a fragrant scene, but it had an evil atmosphere, just because the surrounding jade bodies were all motionless!

"The Lord has given me the first layer of this supreme Dharma, and my cultivation has not advanced but retreated. After this meritorious service, I will definitely be given the second layer of the supreme law and help me ascend to the immortal in bliss. ”

The figure in the shadows seemed to have this expectation, and laughed gloomily.

"Before that, wait for me to suck your Yin Yuan!"

After saying that, he leaned over the bed, and in the room, which was without waves, there was a burst of warblers and swallows, and soon there was no life.

It's almost late at night, and the prosperity is over. The lights on the streets are sparsely populated, and the black-clothed boy strolls along the river. As if unaware of the approaching danger, he walked into the dark and remote back street shade.

A group of black-clothed and masked men had been following for a long time, and finally waited for this excellent place, where would they want to miss it? They quickly dispersed and surrounded the black-clothed man, and they were all daggers and short knives with a cold luster.

"Looking at your uneven figures, you are definitely not some kind of government soldiers. ”

Pianpian didn't panic either, and was still talking as he walked.

"And this messy dagger and short knife are not as reckless as the green forests and grasses that rob houses. Tell me, who are you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, when you get to the Netherworld, let Lord Yama tell you!"

As he spoke, the leader grabbed the weapon in his hand and rushed forward, and the others rushed up when they saw it.

"Hum~"

One by one, masked men slowly retreated from the shadows, unarmed. And as everyone withdrew, a transparent aura also floated out in mid-air.

When they came to the light, the people saw clearly. Fang Cai's own weapons that rushed into the shadows were all floating in the aura.

"When others commit murder, they bring swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Although you are a black shop, who are you bullying with this pot and spoon?"

Yuansheng also slowly came to a place where the light could shine, and looked at the various kitchen knives that were spinning and floating in the aura.

At this time, I remembered that Xiaomeng just entered the store and said that there was a faint smell of blood, and now it is verified, this splendid Bianjing No. 1 Restaurant turned out to be a black shop!

No longer talk to these people who seek money and kill people, and Yuansheng's heart moves. The knives in the air instantly returned to the truth, and turned into nothingness with the wind! In the dull eyes of everyone, he went back to the Qingming Tower.

As soon as Yuansheng appeared, Xiaomeng pounced on him and looked up and down.

"Xiaomeng, don't joke with me, you don't think I'm in danger, do you?"

"Haha, don't you know, just now we had a puff of smoke here, and then a group of masked men sneaked in, Xiaomeng used an illusion, and they fought each other and left. ”

"You still have smoke, I don't have such a high salary over there. It's just straightforward... ”

"Don't say it, let me guess, is it carrying all kinds of cooking utensils to hit you?!Wowhahaha, ouch, my stomach, hahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

The three of them held their stomachs for a burst of joy...

In the early morning of the next day, something strange happened in Qingming Tower. It's three poles in the sun, and no guy has come to work yet. There was no breakfast, no tabloids, and the customers came out of their rooms. I wanted to scold, but I found that there were no guys in the store except for the customers, and I was puzzled.

In the No. 1 room of Tianzi, the three of them were still chatting. Indeed, they are not curious about it. Those who have seen the means of origin by the river have long since died. Letting out smoke to sneak attack the second daughter, the illusion should also be extremely terrifying. So, I escaped last night.

"What?!None of them came back?!"

"Yes, I've looked around, and there's no one but me. It's the No. 1 room in Tianzi, all in... ”

"You go, spend some money, and get some guys back. Go quickly!"

The little servant pushed the door open and ran out, but the still dark room was quiet. A figure slowly got up, opened the window a crack, and looked in the direction of Tianzi No. 1 room. A thin beam of sunlight shone on this person's face, making a "bang" sound. The man screamed under his breath and hid his face to get out of the way. Even though it's humanoid, it looks like the sun is no longer visible!
