Chapter 28: Leaving the green mound alone to dusk
Since everyone is interested, Fan Lu naturally tells the story of what he has seen and felt during his travels, and it is a great relief to have people with the same interests.
"On this trip to the western foot of Daqi Mountain, I originally wanted to visit the ruins of the herdsmen's legendary green mound, and I wanted to have a good look. After unfortunately encountering a thief, he had to settle down in the Silver Buddha Temple of Qingliang Peak first. In the evening of that day, I looked northwest from the mountain gate of the Silver Buddha Temple, perhaps because the clouds and mist had dissipated, and as far as my eyes could see, I really saw a cyan color in the extreme distance. ”
"That place is rippling in the water, but it is not a small island in the water, but a green mound that is said to be a lot. ”
"Is it really Qingzuka, the tomb of the eldest princess of the former dynasty?" Pan Zhiyan asked impatiently.
"Although no one has ever seen the mound, but I have heard the word of mouth of the herdsmen north of Huaishui, and when they go to explore it on the spot, those herdsmen are also vague or not true at all, or they are simply a pile of mounds in the name of the mound, fooling the world. However, I firmly believe that what I saw that time was the real green mound. The cyan color that seemed to be in the water was actually just the reflection of the green mound. If my guess is right, that body of water is Yuyuan Lake, and the green mound is on the Bowang Peak on the edge of the pool. ”
The strange woman who was peerless and ill-fated was still classified as a handful of loess after all, and everyone couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"If you have the chance, you must take a look, Brother Fan, do you remember how to find it?" Pan Zhiyan looked yearning.
"Of course. Fan Lu's gaze fell on Pan Zhiyan's side. "When the time comes, I will accompany you. ”
Duanmu Xu, who was still dizzy, slightly felt that there was someone outside the door, so he turned his head to look out of the door, but found that Zhao Xubai was also turning his head, and the eyes of the two met in the air and stayed at the door at the same time.
The two of them turned their heads in unison, which attracted the attention of Pan Zhiyan next to them, then Fan Lu, and then everyone, and the room suddenly fell silent.
The door creaked suddenly, and the shopkeeper Jian slowly walked in with a jar of wine, "Today, Captain Shi is entertaining distinguished guests, and we have Yixuan to prepare the best wine, this is the jar that is pressed on the lowest level of the wine cellar." As he spoke, he patted the altar with his hand, the tall figure, with the snow-white little hands, was just right.
The treasured wine and the joy of meeting were filled with Pan Zihan's slightly drunken eyes, Fan Lu's translucent face, and Pan Zhiyan's babbling words.
Wine can intoxicate people, but it can't get some people drunk. The Shi brothers don't talk much, and they don't drink much, if it weren't for Fan Lu, they might have pretended to turn a blind eye to the arrival of Zhao and Pan, and now they are just doing their best to entertain the landlord with courtesy.
Xu Shi also felt bored, and Shi Jiwei also provoked a conversation, "Shopkeeper Jane, how is your school?"
"Thank you, Captain, for your concern. We're still in the process of choosing a location, so we'll inevitably have to trouble adults. Shopkeeper Jane's voice was still pleasant and slightly flattering.
"You're going to start a school? That's a good deed. When the school is completed, if I come to Huaishuo again, I will be very happy to be a teacher. Fan Lu said in a hurry.
"That's a great blessing for those hard-working children. On behalf of the children, I will first toast Mr. with a glass of wine. "Naturally, Shopkeeper Jian will not let go of such an opportunity, and those who can become the guests of honor of the school captain must not be ordinary people.
"Sister Jane, then you have to hurry up in this school. My eldest brother Fan has traveled all over the world, and I don't know where to find him when the time comes?" Pan Zhiyan quipped on the side.
"Naturally, hold on. ”
"A gentleman is also as heavy as Daishan. I'll come back too, but I'm afraid I won't see you anymore. ”
The wine will always be drunk, and the gathering will always disperse.
Pan Zihan, who was slightly drunk and slightly drunk, half of his body was already leaning on Duanmu Xu's body, and he was walking slowly towards the gate of Youyixuan's courtyard, and his mouth was still chattering, "The eldest son of the Fan family, he was really hit by my words, and he was not bound by officialdom and the battlefield, but he was finally detained in the love field." As soon as I saw the leaves today, I completely abandoned the coldness of the past and talked endlessly. ”
"Bai Gongzi, please stay", a crisp voice came.
Pan Zihan was stunned, and Duanmu Xu was secretly happy.
Looking at the back walking side by side and slowly moving away, Pan Zihan could only lean on the pillar of the wine flag outside the courtyard gate, puzzled, pointed his finger at him and her, and pointed at him in the courtyard. He fell in love with her at first sight, and what feelings did she have for him, was she drunk?
Before he could figure it out, he saw that Duanmu Xu had walked back. He didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he climbed on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
Pan Zihan was too lazy to think about it, but Duanmu Xu had to think about it, and he had to think about it. She had just taken only a few dozen steps before she turned back to the carriage, and only asked one word on the way, and he only replied with one word.
"In September, were you in Xianjing City?"
"Hmm. ”
......
Hanyu Guancheng, in the school captain's mansion, Shi Jiwei's face was slightly gloomy.
Since the second brother Shi Jili left, the Shi family's secret financial support for Huaishuo Military Town has stopped, he understands that this is what his father meant, and he clearly beat himself, without the support of the Shi family, how can he expand the army.
Fortunately, Su Sheng of Wuchuan Military Town sent a silver ticket of 100,000 taels according to the gambling contract, and as for the monthly market and the annual market, it was agreed that it would be divided into fifty and fifty, and Huaishuo did not need to send troops to assist in the management.
What is terrible is that Pei Du of Huaihuang Military Town actually sent someone to deliver a letter, claiming that the amount of 100,000 taels of silver tickets was too large, and he was worried that something would be lost on the way, and Shi Jiwei needed to send someone to pick it up.
"Let me get it, I have to get it back with interest. As soon as Shi Jiwei was ruthless, he summoned the elite of the Shenji Battalion, with dozens of people, and set off towards Huaihuang Military Town. Of course, he will not forget Duanmu Xu and Pan Zihan. If you owe money to the military town, the school will naturally have to keep up, and the team rate of the Shenji Battalion will naturally not be idle.
Pan Zihan is also willing to go out for a walk, since Zhao Luojia took Zhiyan north to Zhongnan Mountain, Fan Lu's kid also followed, and he has lost many opportunities to drink as a companion. Duanmu Xu is in the army, and going out more can be regarded as increasing knowledge, and he is also happy in his heart.
A group of dozens of people marched in the direction of Huaihuang Military Town.
Huaihuang military town, and Huaishuo military town is only more than 100 miles apart, Yumen Guancheng with winged city is built between two mountains, slightly smaller than Hanyuguan City, but it is also quite spectacular.
Pei Du stood on the city gate tower, not looking at the empty scenery outside the pass, but looking at the inside of the pass, through the corner tower in the northwest corner, thinking that Shi Jiwei would definitely not give up, and would definitely send someone to get the silver ticket.
Even though his Shi family is rich and powerful, there is a queen and a prince behind him, and he may be a saint in the future, but he has not ascended the throne for a day, and the position of the Xianjing Imperial City is not sure who will fall into his hands. He, Shi Jiwei, couldn't bully people like this, first crossed the border to march and rob people, and then set up a bureau to defraud the silver and the distribution of the market.
This silver tael categorically cannot be given, and the dividends of this closed market cannot be granted. This is Pei Du's criterion, if you eat it in your stomach, you will definitely not spit it out again, no one can do it.
A sentinel came to report, and a cavalry came from the north. It was also reported that the leader of the troops was Huaishuo Captain Shi Jiwei.
"It's really here, and it's in person. "Is it really the same as me Pei Du, asking for money and not dying.
