Chapter 271: The Lodger Returns Home
Liu Shaoyang went down the hill and walked around the city, and arrived at the east gate of Taiyuan Mansion at the time of Mao, but when he saw the morning bell ringing, the gate of the mansion slowly opened, and he immediately mixed in the crowd of people and entered the outer city of Taiyuan.
He knew that there was a lot of trouble in the palace of King Jin last night, and he needed to be careful everywhere in Taiyuan City today. Sure enough, I saw that there were a lot more soldiers patrolling the city than the day before, but fortunately, after he returned to Middle-earth this time, in order to avoid arrest and suppression, he had already prepared an imitation of the official guide, and he was not afraid of interrogation at this time.
After passing the roadpost, I arrived at the end of the road, but I saw that some officers and soldiers had surrounded the front and back of the inn where they were staying. I think it was because the shopkeeper in the teahouse before learned that there was a change in the palace at night, and leaked the place where he and Mo Lingtao stayed.
It was a little unexpected that the opponent came so quickly, and Liu Shaoyang looked at it so much and stopped stepping forward. He was hidden in the dark corner of the street across the street from the inn, and was thinking to himself what to do.
Suddenly I heard a cough coming from the beam of the house next to me, and I was secretly wary of looking back. I saw a black shadow flash in front of me, and it was the Mo Lingtao I was looking for floating down.
Liu Shaoyang saw that Mo Lingtao had returned safely, and happily pulled him aside to ask about goodbye, it turned out that Mo Lingtao escaped from the palace yesterday and got rid of the pursuers, and rushed back to the inn to quietly take out his bags. Before dawn, officers and soldiers arrived and searched the front and back of the inn.
After hearing this, Liu Shaoyang raised his thumb and laughed: "Brother Mo's methods are clever, brother, I really admire him!"
Who knew that Mo Lingtao was praised by him, and his face was full of joy and turned to sigh lightly: "The door master's words really hurt me, Mo Mouwei made a turn in front of the ghost gate last night, if it wasn't for luck, I was afraid that I would have been captured by the master guards of the Jin Palace!"
He originally thought that he had been practicing Xuangong in Beishan Country in the past few years, and he would be able to take Zhu Yuanzhang's head if he broke through the inner circle again, and he would be able to repay the revenge of the killing of his family in the past. I never thought that even in the palace of King Jin, I could only get away with my life, and my pride was greatly reduced for a while, which was quite lonely.
Liu Shaoyang knew what he was thinking and sighed secretly, knowing that Mo Lingtao had been thinking about hatred for decades, and he could only slowly persuade him to do so, so he kept silent at the moment.
The two walked out of Taiyuan City all the way out of Taiyuan City and came to a town dozens of miles to the west. Then I found a wine shop on the street and sat down, and begged for some meat and braised vegetables.
Liu Shaoyang said before and after the death of Shangguan, Mo Lingtao sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that this King of Jin is insidious, vicious, greedy, and afraid of death, and he will be a villain alive." Although Mo Mou didn't have much knowledge, he also knew that people like this kind of people who were so powerful and inward-looking couldn't bear the unification. It's just that we haven't been able to find a way out for the brothers on this trip, and now we will ask the door master to show us where to go!"
Liu Shaoyang groaned slightly, and said with a straight face: "Right now, Zhu Li is sealing the town of Northern Xinjiang and contacting important soldiers and horses from all over the country, but I am afraid that I can't wait for his father Zhu Yuanzhang to die, and I will do it soon." In this way, there will be turmoil in the world, so we might as well wait and see what happens. When Lord Shangguan was dying, he asked me to go to Kunlun Mountain to summon the news on his behalf, and the eldest husband promised a thousand gold, and this matter should not be delayed. According to me, Brother Mo, you go back to the cottage first, and I will go back to Jigong Mountain to reunite with the brothers in half a year at most!" "How can this be...... The road to Kunlun Mountain is far away, and the door owner is alone. It's better to let your subordinates or the brothers of the cottage go with you, and if something happens, you can take care of it!" Mo Lingtao shook his head when he heard this, and he felt that it was inappropriate.
Liu Shaoyang originally thought about not wanting Mo Lingtao to run around, but when he heard him say this at this time, he thought that the elders of the Five Elements Sect were almost dead. If Mo Lingtao is allowed to return to the mountain alone and no one restricts him, it is impossible to say that he is eager to take revenge, and he will assassinate the emperor from the tiger's den in Beijing, and do something that is not deep or shallow, but there is a risk of his life.
Liu Shaoyang thought about this section and became more and more relieved, and then said: "That's fine! This trip is only you and me to pass the letter, go early and return early!"
The two had a hearty meal in the wine shop, paid for the meal and were about to leave. Suddenly, I heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the store, and the diners in the store flocked to the window to look outside the store.
When Liu Shaoyang and Mo Lingtao walked to the street to look, they saw a team slowly coming from east to west along the street. There are three or five people who start with a gong to open the way, and then one hundred and ten men in brocade clothes ride or walk, holding a command flag to draw horns, canes, drums, and golden cymbals, and huddle a six-carrying sedan chair. The sound of the silk bamboo flute is mixed in, and the end is not lively.
At this moment, the pedestrians on the street were attracted by this procession, and they had stopped on both sides of the road to watch. In the midst of the noisy discussion, someone asked: "In recent years, the saint has ordered hundreds of officials to travel with horses instead of sedan chairs, and I don't know where the official master is sitting in this sedan chair, it is really a big pomp!" "I see that this guard of honor seems to have come from the capital, and we, the people of the remote areas of northern Xinjiang, can be regarded as having a long experience today!"
Between the mouths and gossips, there was another person: "I heard that it is the commander of the capital and the generals of the soldiers and horses, and Lord Ge Junge has returned to his hometown." The saint remembered that he had fought for many years to protect the lord, so he allocated pro-army guards for him to send. He was also allowed to sit in a large sedan chair carried by six people to prepare a guard of honor, and to tour around the country to show the emperor's grace. ”
Ge Jun followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the four seas in the past, and he made great contributions to the number of land escorts, and he was the commander of the large and small military guards of the Beijing Division. When the surrounding spectators heard this, there were many people who had heard of Ge Jun's name, and they all said, "No wonder this is the case", and they all slapped their hands and sighed secretly.
Mo Lingtao's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Door master, this person's name is so familiar! I seem to remember that when I was a child in Wuxi City, I vaguely heard my father mention it!"
Liu Shaoyang glanced at the car driver, and said with a slight anger: "This person has been in charge of the pro-army in the Ming Court for many years, and he was the commander of Yulinwei and Xiaocaiwei earlier, and he can be regarded as a trusted general who often accompanies Zhu Yuanzhang. Back then, Zhou Wu was transferred to Xu Da's subordinates, and he was naturally thirsty for killing at every turn, and many of the people in Su Song's hometown hated him to the core!"
