Chapter 46 Xinshu is too guarded
When Dian Yin and Su Yue caught up, Liao Tingyun had already changed Tong Xi into clean clothes from the baggage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although Tong Xi knew that Dian Yin had no choice but to push her into the water, how could a frightened teenage girl's heart be so wide? ”
Dianyin opened his mouth to explain to her. She covered her ears and turned around and ran to Liao Tingyun's side.
Pursuers from all walks of life have already arrived on the irrigation canal. The guards who were released by Su Yue naturally explained their whereabouts, the number of people and the appearance of the newly discovered Tong Rhino to the people who came, and they were separated from life and death everywhere, and Boxi's whereabouts were unknown. So the counties drew the appearance of the boy rhino according to their descriptions, and posted notices and posters in various places. As a result, the rumors are even tighter, fortunately, Su Yue and Liao Tingyun are both good at hiding traces, and it is not so easy for the Damu official family to find them.
But they didn't have a good time, because they couldn't go to ordinary restaurants to play in restaurants, they couldn't stay in guest houses, and in order to avoid people, they had to stay overnight. The most painful thing is the Tong rhino. Hungry and full, they followed them to gnaw on sour stinky steamed buns, and slept in the daytime to find a hidden place. Sometimes I was about to be called up and killed when I fell asleep, and my work and rest were all disrupted.
Because of this, she was dissatisfied in her heart, complained constantly, didn't have a good face for Dian Yin and Su Yue, and often said some frustrating words about the gang. Dian Yin has been separated from his little brother and sister, and he hates others to say things like splitting up and breaking up, just because he had to push Tong Xi into the water in the irrigation canal in order to get out of the predicament and feel guilty, so she said a few words, and forbearance passed. But after talking too much, he listened anxiously, and couldn't help but be angry with her. Liao Tingyun has an indifferent temperament, and she has always ignored this noisy matter. Su Yue often came to be a peacemaker, and often comforted Tong Xi and said: "Bear with me, when we have gone through this paragraph, we don't have to worry." Tong Xi only regarded it as his comforting words, and never took it to heart.
It's just that the farther you go west, the more difficult the road becomes, often just after climbing the mountains, and then going down the valley and crossing the stream, but there is no flat road. The more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to walk, so that you twist back and go around, a hundred steps and nine folds, the endless stone peaks are craggy, the dry pine hangs upside down, and the ladder stone stack that cannot be walked can be walked, and it is lofty and majestic.
At noon that day, the four of them were tired of walking, and they were resting on the side, Tong Xi shook the beads of sweat on his forehead, panted and said, "Where is this? There is such a place in the world!"
Su Yue didn't speak, and Dian Yin asked tentatively: "General, this is Xinshu." Su Yue nodded yes.
"Although Xinshu is nominally a great harmony territory, it has always been a semi-independent kingdom due to impassable roads and poor information. Xinshu Taishou is different from other places, it is hereditary. ”
Tong Xi nodded suddenly, and said, "Why is this called Xinshu?"
"Our ancestors are all from the Central Plains, isn't there a piece of land called Bashu in the Central Plains?"
Tong Xi smiled: "Yes, yes, we have studied Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty". I've never been there, but what the book says is pretty much the same. ”
"In such a closed place, there is naturally no need to worry about the search of the officials. Dian Yin smiled, he only then understood that Su Yue's comforting words were not casual words.
"Not only will you not be arrested, but if Xinshu's Taishou is broad-minded, he may invite us!" Su Yue said meaningfully.
Since Liao Tingyun went to Shushan, he has hardly spoken, and he has not even made a sound at all, and he always nods and shakes his head when encountering problems. After a long time, Tong Xi first felt that something was wrong: he could still speak a word before. Although the voice was creepy, at least there were words, what had happened these days? Not a word, not even a single sound. Tong Xi opened his mouth to ask her, but she didn't say.
In the evening, they spent the night in a farmhouse in the mountains. Liao Tingyun had a good night's sleep, woke up early the next day, walked out of the house, and saw the mountain scenery in the morning, Liao Tingyun was stunned. The sky was already bright, but the sun had not yet come out, and the bright green mountains and forests were like a pure girl who had just taken a bath, half-covered by the morning mist. All kinds of bird calls come and go, far and near. The mountains and forests are full of lively life.
Such a morning can fill people with a desire for life.
Tong Xi rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked behind her. Because she had just gotten up, she didn't wear a black gauze hat or wash, and her black and slender hair hung down to her waist, messy but not sloppy. Just looking at the back, she is a peerless beauty.
There was no expression on her handsome, pale face, only a pair of slightly old, deep-set eyes staring affectionately at the early morning mountains and forests
She turned her head, looked lovingly at the sleepy-eyed Tong Xi, and said softly: "Sister, look, this mountain is so beautiful." ”
Tong Xi was stunned for a while, and suddenly ran into the house with a scream. Immediately after, Su Yue and Dian Yin both ran out and glared at her in surprise.
"Your voice is beautiful. Tong Xi said with tears in his eyes.
In fact, as early as the night before, Liao Tingyun had already found that his voice was almost better, although this voice was much better at night than during the day, but he could still hear a rough sound. She rarely speaks these days, so she doesn't know which day will be good. I just feel my throat slowly getting better.
When they left the farmer's house, Liao Tingyun gave him a lot of money, and the farmer bowed down to her and excitedly called her a living bodhisattva. The people in the mountains had never seen the world, and the farmers didn't even know why she gave them so much money. But knowing her former notoriety, how dare the farmer do this?
Including Dian Yin and Su Yue, everyone was a little happy in their hearts, and this kind of happiness was happy for others and happy for themselves. Everyone seems to have forgotten all about the hunt.
When approaching Xinshu City, the four of them were stunned on the mountain. The size of Xinshu extends from the hazy end that cannot be seen at a glance to the foot of the mountain. The roofs of various colors and the white walls are densely arranged like ants in an irregular manner, like overflowing water in a color pool, which spreads everywhere.
He went down the hill and came to the gate of the city, but he was blocked from entering. It turns out that this place has really become an independent kingdom, and all outsiders have to interrogate it.
All four of them were a little nervous. Su Yue was bold and stepped forward and said: "In Lower Su Yue, I went west to Caijun with my friends, passing by Guidi, so I want to go into the city to rest." ”
The officer examined the four of them one by one, but instead of embarrassing them, he put them all in.
After walking through the city gate, Tong Xi looked back at them hesitantly, then turned his head and asked Su Yue, "Could it be a trap?"
Su Yue said: "Probably not, just be cautious." ”
After speaking, he didn't take a few steps, and someone suddenly summoned Su Yue behind, and the four of them looked back and saw a young man in official uniform, riding a fast horse, galloping over. Running all the way to them, after the official dismounted, he hugged his fists and asked, "Which one is General Su of the 'Pihu'?"
Tong Xi trembled, and Dian Yin looked panicked. Su Yue stepped forward and said, "It's down." The official glanced at Su Yue up and down, and then bowed his head and said: "The junior is surnamed You, and he is a close minister, so he just inspected the east gate." I heard from the city gate official that there was a foreigner named Su Yue, and I didn't know if it was a general, so I wanted to come and inquire. Taishou had heard of the general's prestige a long time ago, but he heard that the general was hiding in the mountains and was reluctant to go out of the mountain, so he felt very regretful. If you learn that the general is coming to the town, you must be overjoyed. ”
Su Yue smiled: "Lord You praises falsely, Su Yue is just a mountain and a wild horseman." ”
Lord Nayou said humbly: "Don't be too modest, general, please also ask the general and your friends to stay at the post house, and wait for the general to report to the Taishou before summoning the general." ”
Su Yue excused himself and said: "The post house is set up by the public, and it is not suitable to live in the post house because it is not for the public." ”
Lord You repeatedly invited, but Su Yue just refused to refuse. Helplessly, Lord You sighed and said: "Since the general resolutely resigns, then ask the general to find an inn to stay in first, and wait for the lower official to report to the Taishou." After speaking, he turned around and said, "Don't leave the city in a hurry!"
Liao Tingyun snorted and said, "Why does he manage us?" Su Yue didn't want to cause more trouble, for fear that he would find it, so he went to a secluded street and alley to find a remote inn. Sure enough, I found one, and the innkeeper had a vicissitudes of face and kind eyes, and greeted them in and settled the room. After a while, Lord Nayou really led someone to the door to invite him.
Everyone was amazed.
At this step, Su Yue couldn't refuse, so he had to go with him to the Taishou Mansion in Xinshu City.
The shopkeeper waited for them to leave before he came out, and asked Dianyin in a panic: "Who are you nobles?
Tong Xi was straightforward and said proudly: "He is the famous 'Pihu' Su Yue in Youzhou." It was too late to stop her.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he exclaimed: "Is that the Pihu Su Yue of the Three Camphors?" Dian Yin was very curious about how an innkeeper in Xinshu City knew about the past between Su Yue and the Three Camphors?
When he saw the surprised expressions on the faces of Dianyin and the others, he thought that they were empty-hearted. The busy greeting shop guy looked at the counter and led the three of them to the backyard.
When I arrived in the backyard and entered a room, the innkeeper closed the doors and windows in a panic and said, "You are all from Sanshuzhang?"
All three shook their heads.
The shopkeeper sighed violently and said, "Don't hide it from me. After saying that, he told the truth.
"We are too guarded, suspicious and cruel by nature. Five years ago, he suspected that his uncle was plotting to usurp power, so he sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that he was a member of the congregation of Sanshuzhang. So they took him and put him in prison. After that, Taishou searched the congregation and suspicious people in Sanshuzhang throughout Xinshu County. I saw my son taken away by the man who had just come, and I saw him killed......" The shopkeeper paused for a moment, but he only lowered his head and looked expressionless. Dianyin stepped forward to comfort him, but he waved his hand and pushed him away, and after a while he said:
"It's my sad past. I pulled you in like this just to inform you that something might happen to General Su. I think you all have swords and swords, and you should all be people who practice martial arts. Take precautions as soon as possible!"
Dian Yin pondered in his heart: "How can we guard against this? We have never been to Xinshu City, and we are not familiar with Taishou Mansion at all. How to save people?" looked at Liao Tingyun again, still looking indifferent.
Dian Yin said at the moment: "Do you know the shopkeeper, the way to Taishou Mansion?"
The shopkeeper said, "I will go, but I am seventy or eighty years old, and I can't afford to walk so far, and my fellow is as timid as a mouse, and he will not dare to go." The only thing I can help now is to show the heroes a direction. ”
Dian Yin pondered: "This street is full of twists and turns, there is no guide, how can I catch up with them?" After speaking, he walked out of the inn with his sleeves, went up to the eaves, and searched everywhere.
It's just that he doesn't know Xinshu City, so he can only go around like a headless fly. It didn't help Su Yue at all.
