Chapter 47 The Master of the Bai Family
Su Yue entered the palace-style Taishou Mansion, turned around in the mansion, and finally met the Taishou in the Dongyang Building, where the Taishou was dealing with political affairs in Xinshu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Na Taishou was originally at the desk and bowed his head to work, and as soon as he heard that General Su Yue had arrived, he hurriedly put down the desk and got up to greet him.
Su Yue saw that Xinshu County was too punctual, he was only about thirty years old, with a leopard's head and eyes, a long beard, and a fierce face. It's not like the lord of one side, but like a battlefield general.
Taishou was very polite and respectful to Su Yue. Su Yue first saluted Taishou with the courtesy of the ordinary people to the minister. Taishou hurriedly helped Su Yue up, and ordered someone to withdraw the table, serve tea and fruit, and the two sat down and talked.
Tai Shou said: "I have heard that the general is benevolent and righteous, and when I saw it today, I really had an extraordinary bearing." ”
Su Yue said humbly: "If you are too guarded, the villain is just a grass people." ”
Tai Shou said: "The general doesn't have to be too humble, he has admired the general for a long time." I heard that when the general was in the barracks, he was the same age as Lone, but he was a well-known benevolent and righteous general, not only made his subordinates willing to live and die with the general, but even the generals and people of the enemy county were happy and convinced of the general. Born alone in the remote city of Xinshu, he took office a few years after his father's death, but he has never been praised by the people. The attendants on the left and right were afraid of loneliness and trembling, the civil and military ministers were afraid of loneliness and did not dare to speak out, and the ordinary people even said that loneliness was cruel and unkind. Once asked a young and bold attendant why he was so afraid of me, he did not dare to speak, and after Lone promised him not to blame him no matter what he said, he confessed that when Lone was angry, they often made them unprepared and unprepared, like a thunderbolt from the sky, in fact, they did not know, Lone was also a fearful, violent and bloody person in his heart, how could he give them such a strange impression? ”
Su Yue said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Su is just a martial artist, and there are hundreds of officials and celebrities under Lord Taishou, why don't you ask them for advice?"
Tai Shou said: "All officials are afraid of loneliness, and they dare not tell the truth to loneliness, and none of those learned celebrities are willing to see loneliness, and they avoid seeing loneliness when they come to the door in person." ”
Since the killing of Su Yue's entire family in the Battle of Mude, he has begun to despise all monarchs from the bottom of his bones, just like many people will inexplicably begin to dislike some things that they are sick and do not dislike before, or even like. Especially when he is obviously cruel and unkind, and he has to make up all kinds of excuses for himself.
Su Yue didn't want to see Taishou in the first place, let alone get close to Taishou, but he was wanted by various counties in front of him, and if he left Xinshu, there might be no place for him. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. He regarded Taishou's invitation as just a formality. Since he admires himself, no matter what, it's always okay for them to rest in Xinshu City, Su Yue thought.
Tai Shou said: "Alone in the court, there is no one to communicate with from top to bottom. I wonder if the general is willing to stay in this remote city for a long time and govern Xinshu with Gu?"
Su Yue hurriedly stood up: "Lord Taishou, the grass people still have important things to do, just passing by Xinshu to rest." After saying that, he stood aside and did not move.
Lord Taishou sighed lightly, and said to Su Yue: "Gu has already prepared a banquet, how about the general appreciate his face and have a drink with Gu." Su Yue didn't dare to refuse, so he had to go to the living room with Taishou.
During the banquet, Taishou was as enthusiastic as ever, and his words were full of praise for Su Yue. Su Yue was particularly embarrassed by Taishou's being too close, and he was often at a loss. Tai Jie felt that Su Yue deliberately alienated himself, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't express it.
The two were staggering, and suddenly a junior minister stepped forward and muttered a few times in the ear of Lord Taishou, who got up and saluted Su Yue and apologized: "General, wait a minute, come back immediately." ”
Su Yue got up and saluted back: "Taishou just go." ”
It wasn't until Taishou got up and walked away that Su Yue dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Not to mention that Su Yue sat alone in the banquet, but Taishou was called to a side room by the minister, and someone was already waiting there. The man was dressed in fine off-white cotton silk clothes, forty years old, and although his flabby skin and vicissitudes of life showed his aging, his graceful silhouette and handsome eyes remained.
"When did the gentleman come?" asked Tai Shou in surprise.
"Do you remember the three camphors?" The man did not answer Taishou's question, but asked Taishou instead.
In Xinshu City, Liao Tingyun carried Su Yue's golden knife to find Su Yue, and Dian Yin took care of Tong Xi in the inn in case of accidents. It turned out that Liao Tingyun was used to wearing a hat, and even if her voice was good now, she didn't want to take it off, so she still looked at people through the black veil when she left the inn.
She started to walk quickly and in a hurry, because she wanted to catch up with Su Yue as soon as possible and stop him from going to see Taishou. It's just that she couldn't think of an excuse to convince Lord You for a while, and she didn't know the way. And although she wore a black gauze hat, because of her sweet voice, the men were eager to take her away when they asked for directions. With such a delay, it is naturally unlikely to catch up with Su Yue.
When she arrived at the Taishou Mansion, she had already seen Su Yue follow them in from a distance. She wondered if she couldn't get in in this daylight, it was better to wander around, with Su Yue's ability, she really missed the stuffing, and it would definitely be no problem to escape from the Taishou Mansion. At that time, she will see the opportunity to act again, otherwise she will break in so recklessly, isn't it "there are no three hundred taels of silver here"?
The Taishou Mansion is surrounded by the bustling streets of Xinshu City, with many markets and busy traffic. Liao Tingyun walked and looked, but was attracted by a sword hall in front of him: black tiles and white walls, a stone statue of a sword standing on both sides of the door, a giant long sword pasted in the middle of the lintel, and a plaque under the long sword, with four big characters on it: "Bai's Sword Museum".
Liao Tingyun sneered in his heart: I didn't expect Bai Hansheng to open the Bai Pavilion to such a remote place as Xinshu.
Walking a few steps closer, there was also the sound of "hey, hey, yes" practicing swords from the sword hall. Liao Tingyun sneered and walked in unconsciously.
The inside of the Sword Pavilion is very spacious, just like the style of the Bai family, simple on the outside and luxurious on the inside. Even the martial arts training ground is set up in the house, and the bricks and tiles alone are enough for other sword halls to open branches.
Liao Tingyun looked as he walked, and the owner of the pavilion saw that Liao Tingyun had a light gait, holding a long sword covered with cloth in his hand, and a golden knife behind him, and a hat to cover his face. The curator was alert, and stepped forward with his fists clenched and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name, what do you want to ask?"
Liao Tingyun didn't return the courtesy, but said lightly: "In Xia Qingzhu, I saw that there was a martial arts spirit here, so I came in and took a look." ”
At this time, her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a heavenly sound, and everyone who heard her speech couldn't help but stop to look at her, although through the black veil, everyone felt that there must be a graceful face in this black veil.
At this moment, a person suddenly hurriedly walked in outside the gate, wearing an official uniform and hat. This is the closest to the Taishou Mansion, and this person must be from the Taishou Mansion. I saw this man go straight to the curator and muttered a few words in his ear, and the curator muttered, "He's here?" the official nodded. So the curator gathered eight people and hurried out with him.
Liao Tingyun felt strange, and wondered if it had something to do with Su Yue, so he waited for them to leave and followed from a distance. Sure enough, they entered the Taishou Mansion through a side door.
Liao Tingyun's heart became more and more uneasy. I don't know the layout of the Taishou Mansion, you may be found if you go in, and if you don't follow them, if these people are all arresting Su Yue, it will be troublesome. Neither advance nor retreat, she was in a dilemma.
But Liao Tingyun has been tired of this kind of twisting and pinching discomfort since she was a child, she shouted, climbed the wall of the Taishou Mansion, and searched for the Bai family's people with both eyes. After a while, she really saw it. She was not familiar with Taishou Mansion and couldn't find where Su Yue was, so she still followed them from a distance to see where they were going.
Those people turned around and she also followed the twists and turns, but she didn't know that they all entered the Dongyang Building. The East Central Building is the largest house in the Taishou Mansion, and it is also the favorite one of the Taishou, the East Central Building is divided into two, the East Central Building is the east side of the office sleeps, and the west side of the West Central Building is the imperial dining reception. The guards of Dongyang Building were tightly handled, and Liao Tingyun did not dare to approach rashly, but only watched from a distance.
