Chapter 22: Lost and Returned to Xijing
Thinking of all Xu Heng's actions when he entered Menyang City, Gong Jingsheng thought about it several times on the way back to Xijing City, and found that he was on guard against something from beginning to end. I'm so cautious that I talk a lot about myself, but I don't want to say much when it comes to specifics.
The appearance of the open-mouthed princess of the rivers and lakes has been fulfilled, and when she arrives, she will understand that she has miscalculated. It was precisely because of this miscalculation that he began to think harder, what did Xu Heng want to understand.
This thought went all the way until he entered Xijing City, and he was awakened by the noise at the city gate.
A large number of monks from the Western Regions in red robes gathered at the city gate in the direction of the Western Regions, and they were confronting the city gate guards, and the monks stood in a row with their hands folded and bowed their heads to chant the scriptures, blocking the road tightly, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. The guards were wary of holding their weapons and resolutely not backing down.
Buddhism was prevalent in the Western Regions, and most of the people in the Western Regions maintained respect for the monks, although they did not understand why the monks who had always been indisputable with the world wanted to block the city, but no one came forward to drive them away. Gong Jingsheng saw the situation clearly, showed his identity and asked the merchants in front of the city to open up a way, so that he could go straight to the city gate, he shouted to the city gate through this layer of monks, called the supreme governor of the city closer, and then asked the stewards of the monks to come and discuss with him in a polite tone.
Gong Jingsheng mediated in the middle, summed up the words of the two, and figured out the reason after a while.
"Let the monks enter the city!"
Gong Jingsheng first gave an order to the city gate guards, but Lu Kangshun, the centurion of the city gate guards who was much lower, insisted on his opinion: "The safety of the city gate cannot be handed over to the monks, even if it is checked on the side. Unless there is an order from the general!"
Since his orders were invalid, he couldn't use force, so he put down the sentence "You will soon see the general's orders" and let him go back to the city gate, and turned to the monk named Wuma Ganzan: "Neglect the master!"
The monk saluted Gong Jingsheng with his palms together for eleven years: "It's okay, since you hand over the purple gold jade bottle, then the Three Realms Temple will not break its promise and do something against your will." Everything that the poor monks and their brothers did was for the safe entry of the purple gold jade bottle into Beijing. "The Chinese that the monk just learned was a little stubborn in pronunciation and not very fluent. But understanding is fine.
Gong Jingsheng nodded, and waited with Wubu Ganzan. Sure enough, after a while, the general's order flew from the city: "Open the city gate, let the monks go, and let Lu Kangshun and the three monks cooperate to guard the city gate together." Gong Jingsheng brought all the remaining monks to the General's Mansion. ”
When the order arrived, everything was well said, and Wubu Gantsen left three of his fellow monks at the gate of the city, and took the remaining fourteen monks to the general's palace with Gong Jingsheng. As soon as he entered the general's mansion, the monks were received by others, and Gong Jingsheng went to see the God of Wealth as soon as possible.
In front of the God of Wealth, Gong Jingsheng was a little surprised. came out with the general's warrant, but found the trace of the princess of the rivers and lakes, but the people didn't catch it, and they even lost Xu Heng. Gong Jingsheng's trip to accompany him can be said to be in vain. But it's not all without results.
After pacifying the city guards of Menyang City, Gong Jingsheng asked the princess of Jianghu about the situation before and after her appearance, and then checked all the traces of Xu Heng's room. When he came to the God of Wealth, he told him all about the itinerary of the two days and two nights, the things he encountered, and his own conjectures, and cautiously put forward his own opinions: "Xu Heng was not kidnapped by the princess of the rivers and lakes, but had his own plan to implement, and he did it alone without having time to inform himself." ”
This is indeed the result of Gongjingsheng's thinking, and he is very convinced of this conclusion. But in the eyes of others, this sentence does have the suspicion of shirking responsibility, and he does not want to explain it, and he has no way to explain it.
And the God of Wealth believed in his subordinates very much, and he was not too worried about Xu Heng's disappearance, and after a few words of encouragement, he told Su Su the news of Xu Heng's disappearance.
Su Su was more comfortable with Xu Heng's disappearance than the God of Wealth.
"He said he'd be back in four days. ”
Su Su was in the martial arts training field, and after listening to Gong Jingsheng's narration, he dropped such a sentence and continued to practice. Gong Jingsheng knew that he didn't need to say more.
I used to know each other when I was young, but after Su Su went to southern Xinjiang, more than ten years have passed, and the feelings of my youth have gradually cooled down. Gong Jingsheng watched Su Su practice whipping for a while, and then silently withdrew.
There was nothing to do, and the God of Wealth did not assign himself any tasks. He had little leisure on this day, so he went straight back to his residence.
As soon as I was seated in my room, someone came to visit.
Bo Hanliu didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door open, and the sunlight shone in, turning the woman's figure into a silhouette in a piece of light, and in the darkness, the smile was very clear: "You're back?"
"Hmm. Gong Jingsheng raised his head and smiled reluctantly, but he couldn't hide the bitterness in it, "Come in, close the door." ”
The woman tilted her head and thought about it, turned around and closed the door and walked over, but was grabbed by the man, hugged tightly and threw her on the bed. Gong Jingsheng pounced, buried his face in front of the woman's chest, and his hands swam wildly, not very peaceful.
For her lover's actions, Bo Hanliu did not resist, she laughed for a long time, and Zhengse stopped Gong Jingsheng's movements: "Don't be like this in broad daylight, I put down the matter at hand and come to you, and I have to go back later!" The woman's resistance was useless, Gong Jingsheng had already taken off half of her clothes, which made her heart ripple, and when she sighed and was about to let him do whatever he wanted, the man actually stopped.
"Huh?" Bo Hanliu looked up at the man in front of him in confusion, Gong Jingsheng was lying on his snow-white chest with his eyes closed, panting slightly, and the woman asked suspiciously, "Why did you go out with your uncle, I feel weird after you come back." She already knew about the family experience of the two before, and she didn't think that this trip found nothing or that Xu Heng's disappearance was his responsibility, "I also think that Xu Heng's disappearance has another plan, he is deliberate, and it is not your business;
Gong Jingsheng was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "Liu'er, am I a very stupid person?"
"No, it's very smart! smarter than most people in the General's Mansion!" Bo Hanliu picked up the hand that fell beside her and put it on her waist, gently twisting her waist to try to wake up the man on her body, but there was no response after some effort, she was a little anxious, "What's wrong with you, don't scare me!"
"Hehe, it's okay. Gong Jingsheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of determination, and he exhaled a breath, which made the woman's skin hot.
The tone of the answer was full of power, which made Bo Hanliu happy, raised his head and kissed Gong Jingsheng's cheek, lay down on the bed again, blushed and said, "Come on." Well, it's better to be a little faster, there's a lot to deal with. After speaking, he felt a little inappropriate, and added, "Forget it, those things are handled early and late, and they are not bad for ......a while."
She closed her eyes slightly, but unexpectedly, she didn't feel the movement of the person on her body for a long time, and opened her eyes curiously, and saw a pair of eyes staring at her. Seeing those sincere eyes, her heart trembled.
"Let's talk about it in the evening. He suddenly stood up, pulled Bo Hanliu up, helped her get dressed, and said to that pretty face, "Liu'er, let's get married after the matter of the purple gold jade bottle is over." ”
The sudden happiness hit Bo Hanliu, and she was so overwhelmed by the ecstasy that she had to hug her sweetheart tightly and whispered, "Okay!"
Xianyang Fu is a small county not far from Menyang City, named after a hill called Xianyang Mountain in the north. There is not a lot of place here, there is not even a county order, there is only one county magistrate. And in such a place that is not well-known within the scope of Xijing Erfu, there is an industry of Wanjian Villa set up here.
On Xianyang Mountain, on top of the highest rock, there is a young man lying on his back looking up at the sky. With his head resting on his arms, his eyes wandering, and a stalk of grass in his mouth, he looks very leisurely.
"Really, I didn't expect that Jiangnan would be able to see you in Mobei for three or four months. The young man in Xuanyi spit out the grass stalk in his mouth, tilted his head to look at the young man sitting beside him, and deliberately glanced twice at the golden sword he was holding, "I didn't expect to become the master of the golden sword so quickly." ”
"Anyway, congratulations, Yang Shen. ”
