Chapter 198: The River Flows Endlessly
Duanmu Xu and the others returned to their residence and did not say anything more.
But the Liu family in the entire Jinguan City sounded thunder.
In this Jinguan City, from the rich side to the big tree that climbed to the Xiao family, it can be regarded as the sky. But I never thought that I originally wanted to build a separate garden behind Yulei Mountain, but it would cause such a big trouble.
Liu Xingyuan, the head of the Liu family, was really on pins and needles at this time. After hearing the report, he has been pondering how to keep the Liu family. At this time, it is definitely not possible to be hard-hitting, not to mention that the Liu family itself is not hard. I can only go to intercede.
Liu Xingyuan hurriedly repaired a letter to his little sister, and sent someone to Hengbei quickly, hoping that everything would be in time.
It's far water, and I don't know if I can save this near fire.
So, Liu Xingyuan hurriedly prepared a big gift and quietly went to the mansion of Lord Gao. To his surprise, though, he didn't even get in. The people of the Gao family said that Master Gao was not in the mansion, and was busy handling cases in the county office, and he didn't even give a big gift.
What can I do about it?
Liu Xingyuan is really an ant on a hot pot. The surname Gao naturally did not dare to disobey the princess's intentions, so he could only bear the guilt of Jing and make the princess angry, and maybe things could take a turn.
Thinking of this, Liu Xingyuan made a good preparation, changed into ordinary linen clothes, held several wattles in his hands, and began to kneel three times and knock nine times far away from Duanmuxu's residence, and shouted in his mouth, "The unfilial son offends Tianwei, and there is no way to teach the son for the father, please punish the princess." ”
All the way, Liu Xingyuan, who is usually pampered, is very hard. In addition to sweat, there was also blood, and the blood oozing from his forehead made the master of Jinguan City pitiful for a while.
This is something that the citizens of Jinguancheng never expected. The head of the Liu family, who was covering the sky in Jinguan City, was stumbling towards the mysterious residence step by step at this time.
Before Liu Xingyuan could get close, he was blocked by Fei Yuwei. No one can put it in without the princess's words.
Liu Xingyuan just waited. At home, he had already thought that if he couldn't make the princess understand, then the entire Liu family might not be able to keep it.
Liu Xingyuan waited outside Duanmuxu's residence until it was dark. But he was still holding on outside, and he hoped that the princess could see the Liu family's remorse.
In the night, Duanmu Xu and Duanmu Luojia had already returned to Yulei Mountain.
It's also off the beaten track.
There was a mound in front of them.
The incense candles have been lit, and the paper foil has gradually turned to ashes.
Duanmu Xu and the two knelt in front of this barren mound, and then kowtowed respectfully three times.
"Brother, what should I do with that Liu family?"
"I borrowed their hands and took care of my grandfather's mound again. I think the news will reach Kenkyo soon. ”
Duanmu Luojia responded, "Oh." When she thought of Xianjing, she felt too stressed.
After the worship was over, they reluctantly left.
Liu Xingyuan had never felt that the nights were so long. The night before, he had a warm coat, but now he can only suffer from the cold in this early winter night. If he hadn't been prepared, he might have frozen to death outside this dwelling.
But after all, it was difficult, after the dawn of the day, Liu Xingyuan felt that he was several years older all of a sudden.
He was waiting, waiting for the princess in the dwelling, to be merciful and announce him in.
From early morning to noon, Liu Xingyuan finally waited for the voice he wanted to hear the most.
There was a news from Fei Yuwei, and the princess summoned him in for questioning.
Liu Xingyuan just propped up his weak body and walked in. He was too tired, too hungry, too sleepy.
When he was taken to a spacious lobby, he fell to the ground at once after seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess. Not kneeling, but lying down.
After all, he fell the most beautiful heel in his life, in front of the princess.
"Help him up. ”
This sentence, to Liu Xingyuan's ears, is better than Tianlai.
The rest of the conversation is simple.
Duanmu Luojia said, and Liu Xingyuan responded.
When Liu Xingyuan left, it was like being reincarnated. The Liu family did not fall and is still alive.
And Jinguancheng County Ling Gao also received the news, and the subsequent verdict was also thunderous and rainy. Ge Dianshi was removed from office for abuse of power, and Liu Feng was fined 1,000 silver.
In addition, there is news that there is a mound of Chu Shi in the mountain behind Yulei, and the Liu family volunteered to repair it intact and send people to guard the tomb for generations.
Before the so-called Chu Master's mound was repaired, Duanmu Xu and they left from Jinguan City. Many people regret that they didn't meet the princess, and some people are secretly relieved, thinking that they have escaped death. However, more people often recall the scene of hundreds of birds and phoenixes on the Jinjiang River.
After leaving Jinguan City, Duanmu Xu and the others turned back to Yangzhou City again.
The reception of the eldest princess this time is completely different from the last time. These people all lived in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and there were more family banquets than before, and of course the atmosphere was better.
I have seen the tide of the Henghai Sea near the sea, and the Jinjiang River and Yulei Mountain have also seen it, and the next thing is to find the place where the sinking silver is.
After the earthquake in Huazhou, the national treasury consumed a lot of disaster relief, and it was urgent to prepare some more silver taels.
This is also the will of Duanmu Luojia and their southward journey this time.
However, they didn't have any clues, only that the silver had sunk into the river. But the Yokogawa River is so large that from the point where the legendary wooden boat entered the river to the downstream, it is impossible to determine where the silver two sank.
And that's it
After so many years, the wreckage of the shipwreck has long been rotted and scattered in the silt at the bottom of the river, how can we find it again.
This sinking silver is too ethereal.
Qian Xiaoxiao and the others naturally hope that Duanmuxu and them will stay in Yangzhou City, enjoy the scenery on a cruise, and play games, how good it is.
However, the eldest princess, as an elder, has to take a longer view. This time, the imperial brother let the two brothers and sisters go south to investigate the case, at least on the surface, it may have made them distracted, I heard that Xiao Xu was quite hard and dangerous in quelling the prince's rebellion, which should be regarded as a reward in disguise. However, in it, it is inevitable that there is also the idea of comparing the small order.
For so many years, the open and secret battles between the princes in the court were all the thoughts of the royal brother who were trying to compare their heirs.
Although it has not been announced to the world now, let Xiao Xu recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but his thoughts on Xiao Xu's examination will naturally not fall.
Since she has regarded Xiaoxu as her son-in-law and Xiaoxiao's destination in her heart, of course the eldest princess has to plan for Xiaoxu.
The meaning of the eldest princess is also very simple, let Duanmu Xu and them go all out to investigate, and the people and horses in Hengnan will be sent at any time.
In this way, Duanmuxu and the others left Yangzhou City and headed for the upper reaches of the Henghe River. Qian Xiaoxiao and Pan Zhiyan naturally followed. One is to take this opportunity to see more, and the other is to visit the mountains and rivers.
With the escort of the Flying Feather Guard, as long as there is no unknown poison like last time, the eldest princess is still relieved. Thinking about what happens, you can also mobilize the people of the local state and county. The eldest princess handed over her princess seal to Duanmu Xu, so that he could use it to summon people when needed.
Starting out of Yangzhou City, the group slowly marched to the northwest.
Duanmu Xu: They are actually not in a hurry. If there is a sinking silver, then the immersion silver will always be there. If there was no Shen Yin, there was no point in rushing over.
Along the way, they had a good time. The state and county officials along the way heard Princess Subai passing by, and of course, more importantly, they got the news from Yangzhou City, and they were all grandly received.
When Duanmuxu and the others came to the upper reaches of the Yokogawa River and crossed Fengxian first, everyone was in a happy mood.
It is rumored that before the defeat of the Demon Sect, the gold and silver in the sect were loaded into ships, and they wanted to be transported down the Henghe River from this Fengxiandu, but later there was a bloody battle by the great monk who directly sank these wooden boats, and the gold and silver were missing.
Therefore, Duanmu Xu and they came to this Fengxiandu at the beginning.
At this time, Feng crossed first, and no trace of the ferry could be found.
The grass is overgrown, and the mud and rocks are piled up.
Perhaps just below these, there are the stones of the ferry, the stone benches for resting.
The river is still flowing, and under the water, I don't know how much history has been erased and how much history has been precipitated.
Fei Yuwei set up a temporary wooden shed on the edge of this Fengxian crossing for the princess and others to rest. Because Duanmu Xu planned to go into the water to investigate.
After a little preparation, Duanmu Xu plunged into the water.
At the mouth of the Henghai Sea, Duanmu Xu failed to reach the bottom of the sea, and here, he thought that he would sink no matter what.
Like a big stone, after splashing some water, Duanmu Xu sank straight down.
He closed his eyes and urged his aura to perceive his surroundings.
The water of the river is no different from other places, and the further down it goes, the darker it becomes.
Fortunately, Duanmu Xu doesn't need eyes, and he is not afraid of this dark underwater.
The further down the water pressure becomes, the greater the pressure, but the Duanmu sequence can still withstand it.
He estimated that the depth of the water was about forty or fifty feet, and he sensed that there should be mud under his feet.
He swiped his legs slightly, so that his body froze in place. Then he used a trick to form a line and paddled to the bottom of the river not far in front of him.
With such a stroke, it is like a sharp sword, easily cutting through the black mud.
And the bottom of the silt is still sand and gravel.
Duanmu Xu walked downstream at the bottom of the river, cutting through the silt.
Some of the silt is sandy and gravel, and some of the silt is actually a stone.
When he came out of the water, he dried the river water he was carrying with his aura and changed his clothes again.
Qian Xiaoxiao and Duanmu Luojia couldn't help but look at each other.
This younger brother is really good-looking.
Especially the eyebrows and eyes are beautiful.
However, Duanmu Xu didn't think of this, he was still pondering, after so many years, the direction of the water flow must have changed. From the sand and gravel under the mud just now, or the stones, it also corroborates his thoughts.
But if the water flow really changes drastically, then even if there was Shen Yin back then, maybe it was not in the water of the Yokogawa, but on the bank of the Yokogawa.
In this case, it will be even more difficult to find these sinking silvers again.
Duanmu Xu pondered for a while, and then followed Duanmu Luojia and them to the other side of the Henghe River to take a look.
On the other side of the Yokogawa there is a slope that has not been flooded by the river, and further afield is the mountain peak.
There is nothing surprising about the peaks, just the difference in the distance from the river. Maybe it used to be farther away, but now it's closer.
Duanmu Xu was estimating the magnitude of the deviation of the water flow over the years, but it was always unclear.
He has a specialization in art, and he is very unfamiliar with hydrology.
This headache will soon have hope of being solved.
Because the eldest prince of Zhongshu Lingfu chased all the way to this Feng Xiandu.
Fan Lu's arrival made Pan Zhiyan very happy.
However, what Fan Lu wanted was to help Princess Xubai find out where Shen Yin was as soon as possible.
end
Mu Xu thought differently. At this time, although he was the identity of the prisoner on the surface, Pan Zhiyan and Qian Xiaoxiao already knew his identity, and those Feiyu guards also looked at him as the horse, and he was not the team leader who was soft-spoken on Zhongnan Mountain.
He asked Fan Lu directly, "I don't know where Brother Fan was and where Lord Fan was when the emperor left Beijing."
It was important to be there, what you were thinking and doing.
Duanmu Xu asked like this, which is naturally also very important.
Fan Lu paid attention to the gradually fledgling prisoner in front of him, and seemed to appear next to Luo Jia every time. It's not that he hasn't checked, even if he finds out that this person is a descendant of Zen Buddhism, but he doesn't take it to heart when he thinks about how these outsiders can be involved in love.
At this time, facing Duanmu Xu's question, he felt that things were not simple.
"When the emperor left Beijing, I was not in Xianjing. As for his father, of course, he continued to work as an errand boy in Kenkyo. Fan Lu replied, and then asked rhetorically, "I don't know what Brother Bai means by asking, is it doubting my Fan family's loyalty to the emperor?"
"Whether you are loyal to the emperor or not, this is up to Fei Yuwei to check, and the emperor is up to the emperor to judge. ”
