Chapter Eighty-Six: A Surprising Master

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned and said, "It turns out that your name is ...... Contains your origins?"

If Huan Guanlan originally named Rong Sleeping Crane as "Sleeping Crane", the Sleeping Crane Immortal did refer to Jinshang instead of Peony, then this name is obviously a euphemism to point out the blood relationship between Rong Sleeping Crane and Jinshang.

And if you think about it a little deeper, Emperor Xuanjing once had Ling Yunzhi, but soon became obsessed with beauty and forgot his ambitions, so didn't he respond to the literal meaning of "Sleeping Crane Fairy"?

"That Duke Huan doesn't seem to have any ill will towards you?" Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a while and said, "Even a little bit of a high hope for you?"

What she said was implicit, in fact, she felt that Huan Guanlan probably hoped that Rong Sleeping Crane would inherit the throne in the future, right?

Otherwise, why do you use Emperor Xuanjing as a metaphor for Rong Sleeping Crane, and tell this closed disciple about his various back hands and hole cards?

"Good girl, do you think the Gongsun clan, or tortoiseshell island, is very powerful?" Rong Sleeping Crane just smiled when he heard this, and did not answer the rhetorical question.

Sheng Weiqiao heard this and said: "It depends on who you compare with! If it is in Nanfeng County, the tortoiseshell island is of course very powerful. Otherwise, if the three powerful families of Nanfeng County compromise with them, how many years will it take for the protection fee to be paid? But if you look at the world, that's it. After all, it is just a pirate entrenched in one sea, and before General Zhou swept away, the kind of sea lord who made the seven seas worship is incomparable. ”

Rong Sleeping Crane bowed his head: "It's exactly this Li'er! If the teacher really has high hopes for me and has no selfish intentions...... If you don't send me back to the Gaomi Palace, why do you want to put me on a small island? To tell you the truth, I was promoted to the king of the county so quickly and got the post of Yizhou Assassin, in the final analysis, because I married you. ”

"Otherwise, I would never have confessed to the Gaomi Mansion so soon, even if Huan Yehe went to expose it, I would try my best to deny it. ”

"Because without the help of the Sheng family, my true relationship with Tortoiseshell Island would not be able to hide the investigation from the Meng family!"

"Even my relationship with the teacher can't be hidden from the Gaomi Palace!"

"If these two hole cards are known, good girl, you should know how passive I will be!"

"And I entered the Sheng family after the death of my teacher, and it was also something he did not expect before his death. ”

"If there is no Sheng family, I have to spend more energy and time to operate, so that I can confidently expose my identity, so as to make full use of the connections and secrets left by my teacher. ”

"But the obedient girl also knows that the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven are not young. ”

"Who can guarantee that their bodies can support me until I am full-fledged?"

Rong Sleeping Crane narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "So I have already thought about it, if the teacher really wants to put this world in my hands, with my understanding of the hole cards in his hand, the best choice is not to send me back to the palace, but to send me to this western frontier!"

"In this way, I grew up in the Western Xinjiang Army, and I have enough time to subdue and change this army. So as to obtain the capital to sit on an equal footing with the Meng clan and King Gaomi and compete for the throne!"

"It's not like now, despite countless preparations, I still have to pray that the body of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven can last a few more years, giving me time to grow!"

He glanced not far away, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "Good girl, it's not just that after you heard the truth about General Zhou's death, you have doubts about the teacher's personality, when I first knew about it, but I didn't sleep well for a few days, for fear that the teacher also arranged for me a similar ending to General Zhou!"

"......" Sheng Wei Qiao pondered for a while, and said puzzled, "With the city government of Duke Huan, it is impossible not to see that you are not the kind of person who has no doubts about the teacher. Why do you want to tell you the truth about General Zhou's death?"

Isn't this a ready-made reminder to Rong Sleeping Crane not to trust him too much?

Rong Sleepy Crane snorted: "If I can fully guess the teacher's mind, why should I have to repeatedly verify everything he left me before I dare to trust it?"

He couldn't guess it, or he didn't want to say it, Sheng Weiqiao, who had never seen Huan Guanlan at all, was even more clueless, and sighed: "These giants in the temple really have nine bends and eighteen bends!"

"The sea is difficult. Rong Mianhe said with a smile, "So since ancient times, even if you have passed the imperial examination, not everyone can rise to the top." You must know that the title of the gold list is already a blessing for many people. However, it is even more difficult to make a product of official residence. Although the teacher's ending is bleak, the achievements are enough to be recorded in history. Therefore, whether or not he is recognized as a person, his ability and talent cannot be denied. ”

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's eyebrows, he showed a little dullness, and took her into his arms, "You are not used to living in the village in the past two days?

"Settle down!" Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "Aunt said, let me take care of things when I get to Yizhou City, and don't be lazy!"

But with that, she still rubbed her face in the shoulder socket of Rong Sleeping Crane, and soon fell asleep.

When she woke up, she was already in an inn in a town, Tong Yue and Ju Li were guarding the couch, and when she saw Sheng Weiqiao getting up and sitting up, she came up to serve and told her: "The king of the county has taken someone out to find the carriage and horses." When we went to the small village before, because the road was not easy to walk, we discarded a lot of foot strength, and when we came out, fortunately the people in the village helped us to stumble here. In order not to delay the next trip, the king of the county said that he had to make up for all the carriages and horses. ”

"It doesn't seem like it's a very prosperous place. Sheng Weiqiao nodded, looked at the layout of the room, and said, "We have a lot of people and a lot of things, but I'm afraid that the carriages and horses we want can't be made up in this one place alone." ”

Ju Li said softly: "In the past two days, many people have been a little overwhelmed by the mountain road. Even if you can't make up for the carriages and horses at this time, the bad guys can rest their feet. ”

She was completely healed some time ago, and the wound was recuperated by the doctor, although the scar could not be completely removed, and she recovered well in the end. After Sheng Weiqiao nodded, he came out to serve again.

Probably during the period of recuperation on the couch, Jin Li and others often went to talk to her, and Ju Li is now a little more cheerful, but it is only compared with the previous taciturn. Overall, it's not to the point of being noisy and talkative.

At this time, Sheng Weiqiao listened to her words and thought thoughtfully: "Later, someone will buy some cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, etc., and ask the cook to clean up and make up for everyone." ”

He asked again, "What do Mi Zhen say about those who had an accident on the road?"

"The king of the county called the pensioner. Ju Li said busily, "And the family members in the team also have subsidies and care." The family members are very grateful to you and the county king!"

Sheng Weiqiao sighed, a little excited: "Good people are just gone, even if you give you pension and care, where can you compare with people? You can pay another sum of money from my private treasury and give a cent to those families! I will ask my aunt for the specific amount later." ”

After some gossip like this, Sheng Weiqiao finished dressing up, had some food, and asked about Xuanyu Feng.

However, Xuan Yu Feng also went out, saying that the style here is not similar to Nanfeng County and Chang'an, and he specializes in going out shopping.

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he said, "Then let's go out for a spin too!"

It's just that I'm ready to go out, and I haven't even gone to tell the guards, but Xuan Yu Feng has already returned, and her face is not very good when she comes back, Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Auntie, aren't you going out to play? Why aren't you so happy? Didn't someone bump into you?"

Xuan Yu Feng snorted: "A bunch of people followed, what are they colliding with? It's just that this western frontier can't be compared with the Central Plains and our south, this is called a desert! This town is said to be the most prosperous place within a radius of 100 miles, and how lively it is! As a result, after going out, there are only two streets! Three steps and two steps are finished! Shops and restaurants are not interesting, except for a few kinds of dim sum and food, which we have never seen before, there is nothing new in the rest!"

What made her most unhappy was, "This place is too dusty, isn't it? I went out without a hat, and I just turned around, and you see my face full of dust!"

Sheng Weiqiao took a closer look, this aunt, who had always been clean and neat, was really a little disgraced, and handed over the handkerchief with a smile: "You will wipe it and ask them to quickly fetch water to freshen you up!"

I was a little puzzled, "There was no such thing when we went out of the village before, and when I was asleep, I thought that I would walk dozens of miles at most, why is it like the Gobi, and there are not many flowers and plants when I look out?"

Xuan Yu Feng said: "Who knows? I am also here for the first time. ”

She suddenly looked very energetic again, "But the folk customs in this place are really open! Compared to Chang'an and our Nanfeng County, they are much more comfortable! I just saw many women playing on the long street, and everyone disagreed, obviously they are used to it!"

He announced, "When I get to Yizhou, I will also learn to ride a horse!" and then walk around by myself, stuffed in the boudoir all day long, with the same group of sluts calculating this and that, and then just teasing Sun, and intriguing with a group of old guys who are not dead in their hearts...... I've had enough of these days!"

"I'll learn when the time comes!" Sheng Weiqiao nodded, "Then let's go out and play together, so that we don't need to pick up nearby attractions, but also go to distant places!"

They were in a hurry, and suddenly there was a rush of horses' hooves at the door, followed by an abrupt stop at the door, and after a while, they saw Xiao Er in the inn, and they were terrified to lead a group of women into the door.

Sheng Weiqiao and Yu Feng sat in the hall talking at this time, and when they heard the sound, they turned their heads, and saw that this daughter of Xijiang was really not similar to Chang'an and Nanfeng: the first woman was about twenty years old, and she was still dressed as a girl who had not been out of the pavilion, but unlike the anger and eagerness of the county lord of Deping who had never been out of the cabinet at this age, she was calm and confident between her eyebrows, and she also had a little unruly eyes.

Looking closely at her appearance, this woman's eyebrows and eyes are sparse, and her eyes are dark and shiny, looking forward to brilliance. Her appearance is actually not a flawless beauty, but it is different from the Central Plains to be fair and slender as the standard of beauty, honey-colored skin, curvy figure, a head taller than ordinary men, and waist hanging knife, arm wrapped whip, and the tip of the three long hairpins inserted in the bun also flashes with cold light, but it shows a wild and charming style, reminiscent of the female leopard in the mountains and forests.

Fierce, agile, and beautiful.

"Girl, this inn has been chartered by us, you want to eat or stay in the hotel, go to another house!" Xuan Yu Feng and Sheng Weiqiao both looked at her curiously, and only came back to their senses when the guards stepped forward to stop them, and said, "I think Xiao Er forgot to tell you?"

When he said the latter sentence, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Xiao Er, who was leading the way.

Xiao Er wiped a cold sweat and quickly explained: "Two, this is the head of Wu Da, and I made an appointment with the county king to meet here!"

"Master Wu?" Xuan Yu Feng and Sheng Weiqiao looked at each other for a moment, then looked at the woman again, "I don't know if you are ......?"

"Yoshiyama!" After the woman was stopped by the guards, she didn't force her way to the aunt and nephew, but stood in place, hugged her arms, looked them up and down, and only raised her eyebrows and smiled, and her eyes wandered over them with unknown meaning.

However, among the women behind her, someone threw a token-shaped thing, and smashed it on the table between Xuan Yu Feng and Sheng Weiqiao, and said simply, "After our big boss received the news, he came at a gallop overnight! Why did the big boss arrive at this time, but the county king himself didn't see anyone?"
