Section 5: Liang Yuan

Liang Yuan as a royal garden in ancient times, much larger than ordinary towns, "Water Jing Notes" once said that Liang Yuan Fangyuan, said: "Build the city for thirty miles." "It's not a lie. After thousands of years, palaces, pavilions, landscapes, exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, cemeteries, etc. are naturally no longer the grand occasion of the year, and the remaining parts of the old site are only the wind and frost and historical rings.

The three of them were extraordinary, and they arrived at the old site of Liangyuan in a short time. In the Ming Dynasty, Liang Yuan has been classified under the jurisdiction of the De Mansion, many of the eight views of the Liang Garden in the old site have been destroyed, and have not been repaired, and the rest such as the platform, Zhu Tai, Sanling Terrace, Qingliang Temple, etc. are scattered all over the outside of the city, so that the original thought that only to the Guide Mansion can know where the group of "Liang Yuanke" gathers, but it is difficult to get it at this moment. They followed the south from the north and admired them along the way.

Xu and Mo have always liked ancient poetry and poetry, and they also know that Liang Xiaowang, the old owner of Liang Yuan, took the ancient "blowing platform" as the axis, built pavilions and pavilions, cast ape rock dragon touch, raised rare birds and beasts, planted pine, cypress and tung bamboo, and recruited the great writer Sima Xiangru at that time, and the Cifu family took the poem in the garden.

The two of them walked slower and slower, pointing along the way, seeing Lin Zhu Jiamu, they must come forward to touch it, if there is a high pavilion show, when you need to comment a few words, you have forgotten the original purpose of exploring Liang Garden at night. Although it was nightfall, the sky was full of stars, and both of them had good eyesight, and there was no obstacle to viewing.

"Brother Mo, look! The ancient cypress here is vigorous and upright, dense and dense, and the jade reflects each other, and it really deserves to be: 'Suiyuan green bamboo, the bottle of Qi Ling Peng Li'!" Xu Liangyao pointed to the far end, and couldn't help but be surprised. Mo Junyan was not to be outdone, and also said: "Brother Xu, come on, from this pavilion, four miles away, a note flows into the white pond, the sound of the ancient wood sees the old bamboo, there is a sense of flying birds reading the prosperity, the sea is fleeting, and the Taibai poem: 'Liang Wanggong is now in peace, and the horse returns first. The dancing shadow and singing scatter the green pool, and the artistic conception of the empty water flowing east and the sea'. ”

The two talked loudly, pointing out the rivers and mountains, one moment was the lush forest and the bamboo, the other was talking about the heavy buildings and high fog, and the moon was bright for a while, and they had already put Yu Meng aside, and they had a happy conversation with Yu Meng and Luo Cailing that day, and they left Mo Junyan aside.

Yu Meng bit her lower lip lightly, and scolded secretly in her heart: "These two nerds, how can they see these broken pavilions, broken rockeries, and broken wood, and talk endlessly?

Yu Meng saw Xu and Mo walking and chatting for half an hour, but they didn't stop at all, and couldn't hold back any longer, and said loudly: "You two are enough!

Mo Junyan hurriedly stopped, not daring to say more. Xu Liang was not interested, but still shook his head and smiled: "Miss Yu, you don't understand this, as the saying goes: 'There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book'......"

"Yan, you're big, don't shut up with my sister again, see how I beat you!" Yu Meng raised her jade hand and made a gesture to fight, looking like an eldest sister, so bluffing Xu Liang that she took three or five steps back.

Mo Junyan couldn't help laughing and secretly stood behind Yu Meng. "And you!" Yu Meng glared at Mo Junyan, and then "hummed" and said: "Have you forgotten the business of our trip?

Yu Meng stood in the court like Confucius, "Senior sister has taught me a lesson! Mo Junyan hurriedly bowed his head and stood like a carp rushing through the court. Xu Liang was secretly frightened, and even stuck out his tongue: "The girls are so scary now, Cai Ling is difficult enough to deal with, but compared with this Yu Meng girl, it is really a big deal!"

Xu and Mo didn't dare to delay, so they had to put away their hearts and look around to see if there were any suspicious characters gathered here. The three of them ran for several miles, and when they saw the South Lake, they followed the water flow to the gate of the West Street, and there was still an urn city outside the door. Xu Liang sighed: "This gate is the gate of the Song Kingdom in ancient times, and this arch scroll structure can be said to be advanced at that time. He didn't dare to say much because Yu Meng was on his side. Its place has long been reduced to an ancient area, and there are no soldiers and no closed doors. The three of them were about to enter, but they heard the voices of people coming from the lake outside the city, which was vaguely indistinct.

Yu Meng beckoned, Xu and Mo understood, and each hid himself.

After a while, more than a dozen men in strong suits strode over, chatting along the way. One of the middle-aged men said: "I really can't imagine that those bald donkeys are so difficult to entangle, and they have chased them from Chang'an to Kaifeng." Thanks to a few brothers who rushed to help, I am afraid that the foolish brother would not be able to catch up with this conference. The rest of the people hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "It is an honor for us to be able to make a modest contribution to the Lord and Brother Qi." Brother Qi said: "When I see the lord later, Qi will definitely make a contribution to your table." A lean man hurriedly said: "The younger brothers are just doing a little work, how dare they take credit? But Brother Qi and Brother Peng went deep into Hongfu Temple and took the stone tablet, which is a great achievement." ”

"Brother Peng still has a lot of credit for this, and Qi just started it. "Hey, where is Brother Qi, if it weren't for your 'Chopping Jiao Fist' kung fu to drive away the dozen or so bald donkeys, how could Brother Ping easily take that thing?" The surnamed Qi listened to his praise, and his face couldn't help but be slightly proud. The pace of those more than ten people is as fast as a meteor, and they are obviously not weak. They were looking left and right to see if anyone was following, but they didn't notice if anyone was hiding there beforehand.

"It seems that those bald asses can't catch up. By the way, Brother Qi, the brothers are very curious, why did the master go to such a great trouble to get such a big stone tablet, and what is the use of the stone tablet?" one asked. The Zhengse surnamed Qi said: "Brother Lu, you should know that we are doing things for our masters, remember to do more and ask less." The man didn't dare to ask any more questions, and followed the man surnamed Qi, and walked quickly through the gate and went to the city gate.

Xu Liang, Mo Junyan and Yu Meng listened to their conversation, and they all thought secretly: "Sure enough, it was the gang of thieves who stole the golden tablet." The three of them looked at each other, and they all had one thought: "Follow them, and go and see what is going on." ”

The group of people went east along Yushou West Street, turned north after arriving at a crossroads, walked about a mile, and came to a large mansion, only to see a plaque hanging on the door of the courtyard, with three large cursive characters of "Liangyuan Mansion" written on it, elegant and beautiful, it seems to be the handwriting of Dong Sibai, a calligrapher of the current dynasty.

The man surnamed Qi walked to the door, lightly tapped, knocked on the knocker three times, and knocked twice after a while.

One of the people in the courtyard asked aloud: "At night, I don't know where the master came?"

The surnamed Qi said in a loud voice: "I would like to take Wu Hook with a three-foot blade!" The man in the door responded: "I want to kill Hu Lu to restore the prestige of the country!" Is it the 'Cutting Jiao Sword' Qi Aotian Qi Brother?" Qi Aotian said: "It is Qi." Then there was no answer.

After another stick of incense, only to hear the "crunch", the door opened, and the person answering the door was a middle-aged man of about thirty-eight or nineteen years old, with small eyes and a very round jaw. Qi Aotian arched his hand and said, "Brother Si Chang, it's been a long time, has the master arrived?" Brother Si Chang nodded and motioned for him to come in quickly.

The more than ten people entered the courtyard, Yu Meng and the other three people crouched outside the courtyard, and saw that the gate was closed and the courtyard wall was towering, although it was not difficult for the three of them to climb over the wall and enter with their light skills, but they did not know the details and did not dare to act rashly; second, they saw that this group of people was cautious, obviously plotting a big thing, and the assembly would not fail to take precautions.

Mo Junyan pointed to a few big trees on the west side of the courtyard, Yu Meng understood, and at the moment he performed light skills, jumped on the big tree, and saw that the courtyard was empty and lonely, although there were many pavilions and houses, but they were all silent and lightless, and there were no people patrolling on the side of the forest rockery. She secretly wondered, "It's strange, how can this group of people be so big?"

Yu Mengxia Shu told Xu Liang and Mo Junyan about the situation, Rao is Xu and Mo have always been wise, and they can't figure out what this group of people want to do, but they feel that their actions are full of mystery.

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, according to me, it's better to go in and see what is going on. Yu Meng said.

Xu Liang groaned: "Having said that, you must also do a good job. Qi Aotian, the 'Chopping Jiao Sword' alone, is not an easy person, he is the master of the Yangtze River Basin, and he is very good at Chopping Jiao Fist Sword in one hand. Listening to their conversation before, it seems that there is a big brother Ping, who is estimated to be the 'Kunpeng hand' of the Kunpeng Gate in the Yellow River Basin. These Qi and Ping are known as the 'two heroes of the river', and they have always been focused on Meng, and Meng is not out of focus. ”

Xu Liang first threw a small pebble into the courtyard, and when he heard that there was no movement in the courtyard, the three of them took up light skills and jumped over the courtyard wall. This Liangyuan Mansion is very large, about 130 zhang from east to west, and about 120 from north to south, but the houses in the courtyard are sparse and sparse, and there is no place to light the lights!

The three of them were shocked and didn't dare to disperse too much, but they still searched the Liangyuan Mansion roughly. In this huge courtyard, there was no one to see! Just now they clearly saw a middle-aged man come out, Qi Aotian and more than a dozen others went in, but at this moment, they all disappeared like ghosts!?

"How can this be?" Yu Meng said in surprise.

Xu Liang was calmer, and he analyzed: "Obviously, Xiaosheng's preparations have not been done well, there must be a secret room or secret passage in this Liangyuan Mansion, and their group of people must be hiding inside." Just left the garden to us, and sang this empty city plan. ”

Mo Junyan also said: "No wonder they don't even stay guards, it turns out that they don't have to stay at all." ”

"Then what now?" Yu Meng asked, "If you go to search one by one, when will you have to find it?"

The corners of Xu Liang's mouth curled slightly, and he thought of a plan, and waved his hand to signal Yu Meng and Mo Junyan to exit the door together, the two of them didn't know why, but they knew that he had a lot of opportunities, and this move must have a deep plan, so he didn't say much. Xu Liang came to the door of Liang Yuan Mansion, lightly buckled the door knocker and knocked three times, and knocked twice after a while.

Yu Meng and Mo Junyan suddenly realized, Yu Meng even covered her lips, obviously snickering at Xu Liang: "You nerd, you have a lot of ghost ideas." ”

As expected, the voices of people in the courtyard suddenly rose: "At the end of the night, where is the master coming?"

Xu Liang said in a loud voice: "I am willing to take Wu Hook with a three-foot blade!" The person in the door really responded: "I want to kill Hu Lu and restore the prestige of the country!" The voice paused, obviously a little strange, but still continued: "But which brother from the Imperial Hall is here?" Xu Liang held his throat and lowered his voice low and difficult to distinguish: "Brother Sichang, it's the younger brother." The younger brother knew that this meeting was very important, and went to many places to investigate, but fortunately, he finally found some secret news about the stone tablet, and just reported it to the master, and asked Brother Sichang to open the door quickly. "After that, no one was heard.

Xu Liang whispered: "There must be two microphones on this door, one in and one out, and the old man named Sichang is actually talking to us in the secret room." He came out of the secret room, and it took him a stick of incense. Luckily, we didn't make a noise when we first entered, and if someone broke down the door, the people in the chamber would be able to hear it. ”

Mo Junyan said: "Then what should I do later? continue to pretend to be your own person or break in?"

Xu Liang frowned and thought, "Now there is only one step at a time, if you can go all the way, it will naturally be the best." ”
