Because Tong Xi shouted that he was hungry. When the old farmer looked at this hour, he couldn't care about hospitality, just a quick word. The three of them saw that he was busy and went to help. The old man didn't stop him, but asked, "Where are the three of you, looking at the face?" Su Yue and the three of them informed him of their names, and Dian and Tong were all told according to the truth, only Su Yue sued in the name of Wu Qing. He also coaxed him to be a foreigner, and he heard about the name of Emerald Mountain, and came to play.
Su Yue asked rhetorically: "Taigong is in good spirits, how do you call it?"
"The old man is seventy and two this year, because he is the third in the family, those who are close to me call me the third brother, and the younger ones call me the third master. My real name is ......" The old man smiled before he said: "I have the same name as this old brother, and I am also called Wu Qing." ā
Su Yue asked anxiously: "But the mouth of the sky Wu, the blue of the sky?"
The third master smiled: "The old man can't read, if you write it, I can recognize my own name." Su Yue took a firewood torch and wrote the word "Wu Qing" on the ground.
The third master smiled: "Like, like my name." ā
Su Yue also smiled: "What a coincidence." After he finished speaking, Dian Yin and Tong Xi both looked at Su Yue with slanted eyes and smiled.
There was an unfinished meal just at noon. Burn the fire on the stove, add rice to cook some rice, and with just a pillar of incense, the steaming meal is served.
After the third master served the meal, he served a plate of bean paste, and said with a smile: "Guests, the dishes are too late to be done, you can order some sauce first." I'll go to the garden to pick some vegetables. As soon as he turned around, he was pulled by the three of them, and all three of them said: "I'm bothering the old man, it's good to have sauce." The four of them grinded back and forth for a while. The third master couldn't do anything, sat down and sighed: "This is called hospitality? Even if you choose the dishes, the old man doesn't have the face to cook for the guests?"
Su Yueqi said: "How do you say this?"
The third master said: "The Emerald City has been closed for almost half a year. Everything else is easy to say, it is this salt, unlike rice noodles, it is not allowed to be sold privately, the official salt is only available in the city, our jade mountain is biased, there is a market selling salt in Gaobu Town recently, and you have to walk a hundred miles back and forth. You said no!"
"It's good in the Emerald City, why is there martial law?" asked Su Yue and Dian Yin.
The third master sighed and said, "Because our emperor wants to open a 'Jade Club' in the Emerald City." The heads of the eight counties were invited. As soon as the big man's golden mouth opens, no matter what words he spits out, the unlucky ones are our ordinary people. It's either bad luck here or bad luck there. Coincidentally, this time it's our turn. ā
"Emperor Mu is really in the Emerald City?"
"Just these two days. The notice issued by the government said that the 'Jade Society' was set for the day after tomorrow. ā
Hearing this, Su Yue suddenly fell silent, as if the whole person was in a state of despair, Dian Yin had already seen the clue, and he was about to settle the bill and leave after eating in a hurry. The simple old man was very angry when he saw that he wanted to give him money. Dian Yin was weak-hearted, afraid that the third master would see something, so he just wanted to go down the mountain, and he was not polite to him, so he put away the money and pulled Su Yue down the Emerald Mountain with Tong Xi in embarrassment.
At the foot of the Emerald Mountain, separated by rolling hills, flat fields and sparse cypresses, a corner of the Emerald City can be seen in the distance. Dian Yin looked at Su Yue's fierce expression as he looked into the distance. Tong Xi suddenly said: "You two go slowly, I'll go to Xiaojie." ā
Looking at the back of Tong Xi running away in small steps, Dian Yin said softly: "Are you really going?"
Su Yue smiled: "What did you say, the city gate is closed, and we can't get in." ā
"Big brother, you don't want me to coax me, I'm from the dart guard camp, this kind of thing can't hide from my eyes. ā
Su Yue sighed heavily and said, "Don't worry, brother, my brother will never affect you." ā
"What did the general say? Little brother just doesn't want you to be carried away by hatred, Emerald City closed half a year ago, which shows how much attention it attaches to it. I can't get into the city. Who knows which way they came from and how many elite men they guarded?"
Su Yue said: "Brother, you really misunderstood, I do have this idea, but as you said, we are walking in such a hurry and unprepared. Even if you enter, how can you know about Emperor Mu's palace and the guards around him? What you see in your eyes is just a depression in my heart. It's just that when I was young, I heard that the Emerald City is as beautiful as a beauty, no less than the Emerald Mountain, and today I am fortunate to have this opportunity, and I can see it with my own eyes, isn't it a great blessing in life? Don't you want to, brother?"
Dianyin smiled: "Of course I want to, but how to get in?"
Su Yue said: "Ride a donkey and read the record book - we'll see." ā
Tong Xi trotted all the way and asked, "What did you two just say?"
Dian Yin said: "I think of how to go into that city and have a look!"
Tong Xi said: "Didn't Grandpa say that the city was sealed and not allowed to enter?"
Dian Yin smiled: "That's why I have to use it." ā
The three of them laughed and approached the Emerald City. And I saw that the gates of the city were shut, and there was no one in them. Not far from the city gate, there is a huge pergola, and there are many people of all colors who come in and out. When the three of them entered the pergola, they found that it was a makeshift grocery store: there were vendors who could eat, use, and wear. When Su Yue asked, he learned that these were originally the vendors who went to the Emerald City, but because the city gate was closed half a year ago, the vendors had nowhere to go, so they partnered to build this pergola outside the city. The guests are mainly from the nearby Zhuangzi. All the needs of the city were provided by the government, and they were transported in and out of the city at regular intervals every day.
Su Yue walked around the pergola alone, and sure enough, he didn't see anyone selling illegal salt. He thought to himself that there might be a vendor selling it, but he didn't dare to put it on the table. When I found a vendor selling condiments, I went up to inquire. When the vendor heard that he was going to sell salt, he scolded: "Don't come to test me, the official! The small one is a good vendor, and when the government allowed us to build a shed, it was clearly stated that it was not allowed to sell illicit salt." If I really dare to sell it, and the other vendors in the shop will away! Now the only way to sell salt in the Zhuangzi outside the city is to go to Gaobu Town, but if you bring a few more strings of copper coins, the current price is not as good as before. Su Yue thanked the condiment vendor, and just took two steps back, but there was a fortune teller who looked like a Taoist priest next to him and said, "I have salt here, can you buy it?"
The condiment vendor sneered: "This madman is talking nonsense again! Official, don't pay attention to him, just trick you into his seat." ā
Su Yue said: "Okay." Then he sat down on his stall. The fortune teller said softly: "Mr. has a wide face and a thick cocoon, he is clearly a general, but how can he come here to ask the old woman about her work?" Su Yue was shocked. But after a moment, he rolled his eyes, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Sir, where have we met?" ā
The fortune teller gently lifted his robe. When Su Yue looked at it, he saw that a few oval camphor leaves were exposed inside, and the green green was attached to the shirt inside. Su Yue suddenly realized, and he was also a little admired. This place is full of people and noisy, and it is really a good place for spying. The fortune teller's face did not change, but his voice was softer than before: "The general, surnamed Liu, is named Yajin, and is the master of the rudder hall of the three camphors in Damu. Although most of the headquarters of Sankezhang has died, our Great Harmony helmsman refuses to give up and still leads us and others. This time, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Su Yue said: "Although the three camphors rose because of me, I am actually not familiar with them, I was also invited by the court leopard and hurried to go, who knew that the incident failed......" After speaking, he sighed.
Liu Yajin hurriedly said: "As long as the general has a pure heart, it is the great blessing that I am waiting for!"
Su Yue said: "How can I forget the hatred of slaughtering my whole family! It's just that it is said that this city gate has been closed for half a year, and it is difficult to enter the city now." ā
Liu Yajin said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry about this. After speaking, he lowered his head and whispered a few more words, and Su Yue, who spoke directly, nodded again and again.
