Chapter 91: Assassination
On this day, in order to thank Tan Si for his dedicated assistance in the same year, Zhang Zhidong specially invited Wuhan officialdom to accompany him, and held a banquet in the Yellow Crane Tower to see off Tan Sitong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The banquet is staggered, poetry and singing, and the guests and hosts are happy. Sitting on a tall building and looking into the distance, looking at a river to the east, Tan Jixun has been slightly drunk, and his sex is very high, he pointed to the Yangtze River and said, I read the ancient books, saying that the river is five miles and three minutes wide, and when I see it today, sure enough, the ancients did not deceive me.
"But I remember that the river is seven miles and three points, otherwise how could there be such a magnificent scene." Zhang Zhidong disagreed with Tan Jixun's statement.
Compared with Tan Sitong, Tan Jixun is much more conservative, and he has financial constraints on Zhang Zhidong's radical reforms. Zhang Zhidong has long been dissatisfied with this governor. At this time, he retorted unceremoniously.
"The ancients must have a basis for their words, and there must be a way to do it, I saw it from the Jiangxia County Chronicles, but it was not Lord Zhang who saw the wide river and asserted it in vain." Tan Jixun has something to say.
"Seeing is believing, the line knows, Lord Tan doesn't know this truth." Zhang Zhidong's words smelled of gunpowder.
The two of them said that the river was water, but they were all hinting at their own concept of governance.
The officials on the seat saw that the two governors were still happy just now, but they suddenly pinched them for no reason, and they were all confused. It seems to understand but not understand.
Tan Sitong understood the reason for the competition between the two, and he smiled and rounded: "What my father said is right, when the river is at low tide, it is five miles and three minutes wide. What Mr. Zhang said is also right, because when the river tide rises, it is seven miles and three points. The river has not changed, but the timing and angle of the two looking at the river are different. ”
Tan Sitong means that the two have different political views, and their intentions for the country and the people are the same. Tan and Zhang couldn't understand the meaning.
Zhang Zhidong laughed, "Your son is amazing, and his actions in the future will be above you and me." "Withdraw the edge first.
"Lord Zhang mistakenly loves dogs, and Jingfu hasn't thanked Lord for cultivating dogs." Tan Jixun raised his wine glass and saluted, and the two laughed and relieved their suspicions.
Li Yan smiled and secretly said to her husband: "You are talking nonsense, what are you talking nonsense, have you ever measured it?" ”
"As far as you are Bingxue smart, if I don't get along with the mud today, these two are afraid that they will really have to find someone to measure the river." Tan Sitong replied to his wife with a smile.
The wine and banquet were over, and the couple set off for Hunan the next day. It was the first time for the two to travel together, and the love and sweetness along the way were needless to say. was not in a hurry, and when he arrived in Yueyang City that day, Tan Sitong was afraid that Li Yan would be tired from the journey, so he decided to rest for a day before leaving.
Li Yan already knew that her husband was a foodie, and when she settled down and stayed, she jokingly asked, "What kind of delicacies are your husband going to take me to eat?" ”
"The loquat in Dongting is yellow, and the whitebait is fat and fragrant. When you arrive at Dongting Lake, it will naturally take you to eat the most famous whitebait. But now is not the season for whitebait, we can only eat dried fish. However, Dongting Lake has the most fish, so we went to eat a whole fish feast. Tan Sitong is obedient to his wife, and immediately took Li Yan out to eat fish.
Just as he was about to go out, Tan Sitong suddenly faintly heard a cold snort, this voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He hurriedly pushed the door and raised his eyes to search, but there was no one else walking in the inn, and there was no sound in the corridor.
Could it be that he heard it wrong, Tan Sitong shook his head and looked at it again, but he still didn't find it.
At this time, Li Yan had already come out in his clothes, Tan Sitong didn't think about it anymore, and took Li Yan to find something to eat.
Walking to the street, I saw a restaurant not far away, and the plaque said Baling Whole Fish Banquet.
The two walked to the store, only to see that the seats were full, and the lobby was already full of customers, Tan Sitong smiled and said, "We have found the right place." ”
Xiao Er had already come over and led the two to a private room on the second floor. It's quiet and elegant, and Li Yan likes it very much. The orthodox whole fish feast has a flower spell, eight dishes, four hot stir-fried, eight dishes, a soup, four dim sum, and four dishes, a total of more than 30 dishes. Tan Sitong can't eat so much with the two of them.
The two of them ordered a steamed water fish, a squirrel mandarin fish, and a double-flavored fish head. Add another frozen fish gelatin. Tan Sitong said that the beauty of fish gelatin must be tasted by Li Yan. Then I asked for a whitebait lotus soup and a pot of Junshan hairy tips. Lang Lu and the others left Junshan, and they could drink this tea on the market again.
The fish meat is delicious and light, not as fatty as fishy meat. This cook's skills are good, a mandarin fish is fried exactly like a squirrel, the water fish is steamed out and lifelike, and even more absolutely the whitebait is paired with lotus leaves into the soup, the fish is white and transparent, the lotus leaves are green like jade, and a bowl of soup is full of color and flavor. And the fish glue is boiled in the mouth. This meal can make Li Yan very happy.
Eat a full stomach and fat intestines, and drink a sip of green tea to clear the stomach, it is really refreshing, the appearance of a little fairy.
Tan Si looked at Li Yan's satisfied appearance on the same side, and his heart was particularly moved. Girls are really coaxing.
He happily joked: "People go into the kitchen for three days, wash their hands and make soup." I just want to please my in-laws quickly. I, a small guest, go to the restaurant with my husband every day, eating and drinking spicy food. What about virtuous? What about Shude? Sad! ”
"Heh, it's too late to regret it, eat and drink well every day for your guests." Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The two husbands and wives flirted and were having fun coming and going. After eating enough wine and food, they were reluctant to leave, and they were reluctant to get up to settle the account until the restaurant closed.
It was not the first little two who entered the house to settle accounts, but a woman with a beautiful face. Tan Sitong was surprised that this woman's behavior was not at all like that of a restaurant boy, but he saw a flash of cold light, and a short sword was stabbed out from under the woman's account book.
There are few people in the world who are Tan Sitong's opponents, and this kind of assassination naturally can't hurt him. He rolled up his sleeves and swept away his dagger. Seeing that the other party was a woman, she couldn't bear to do it, so she just pulled Li Yan and walked out the door.
Coming out of the hallway, another sword stabbed him. Tan Sitong calmly hid Li Yan behind him. A finger flicked off the sword. The Assassin was seen masked and dressed in a tight black suit. With a curvaceous figure, she is obviously a woman again.
But this woman's martial arts are more than a little higher than the first one. Her sword momentum continued, and she always pestered Tan Sitong to prevent him from getting out. At this time, there was a lot of footsteps, and I saw that masked assassins were already rushing up the stairs on both sides.
Tan Sitong is not afraid, but Li Yan doesn't know martial arts at all, and if she hurts herself, she will regret it. Tan Si protected Li Yan with one hand, pulled out the seven-star sword with the other, and then counterattacked.
The woman's martial arts were really not bad, and the table tennis connected Tan Sitong's ten sword moves that were getting faster and faster, but she didn't retreat. At this time, the assassins downstairs rushed up, and if they hesitated for a moment, they were afraid that they would be surrounded. Tan Sitong no longer stayed strong, and made a ruthless move to cut off his head sword.
The five broken swords melt into the swordsmanship, and the moves are very sharp and strong. At that time, Tan Sitong relied on this set of swordsmanship to draw with the Japanese No. 1 master Banhuan. This sword attacked, and the assassin naturally couldn't resist it.
The woman stretched out her hand, and the sword flew out of her hand, and when she was about to retreat, the seven-star sword had already slashed her neck
Come.
At the last moment, the woman leaned back and finally escaped the tragedy of being beheaded.
But her hood was still slashed by a sharp sword. A wisp of green silk was cut off, the mask fell off, and the woman's true face was revealed.
Although Tan Sitong had already vaguely guessed who was coming, he was still stunned for a while when he saw that it was really this woman who came to assassinate him. This second sword broke the waist and could not be cut down anymore.
This woman is the descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Huanyu, who once designed to seize power in Shilipo and threw himself into his arms in Zhongtiao Mountain.
I saw her staring at herself for a second, and there seemed to be resentment in her eyes, and there were countless emotions that she couldn't understand.
Suddenly, I heard a scream, and it turned out that as soon as I was distracted, the assassin behind me had already pounced behind me. The assassin saw that Zhu Huanyu was in danger, where did he dare to hesitate, and desperately stabbed Tan Sitong in the back with a sword.
The one who screamed was Li Yan, originally she was standing behind Tan Sitong, and when she saw the sword coming, she was afraid of stabbing Tan Sitong, so she met her body and blocked the sword for Tan Sitong.
The sword pierced through the body and pierced Li Yan into a hole. Tan Sitong turned around just to see her body crooked, and she was about to fall.
He hurriedly reached out and hugged his wife. I saw blood spurting out, and Li Yan was already unconscious.
This time, Tan Si's liver and intestines were broken, and he couldn't care about his subordinates anymore, he swung out his seven-star sword, and those who blocked it died, and those who suffered were injured. rushed all the way downstairs.
The Assassins, who were his opponents, fell to the ground one after another. However, after a few moves, Tan Sitong had already made a bloody move and rushed to the lobby. There were still many assassins in the lobby, but when those people saw Tan Sitong's bravery, no one dared to step forward to attack him.
Tan Sitong hugged Li Yan, looked around angrily with his sword, and saw everyone retreating. He was not angry in his heart, raised his eyes and looked up, only to see Zhu Huanyu being upstairs. A pair of eyes were full of tears, as if full of apologies, and they were looking at themselves fixedly.
He was furious in his heart, and he wanted to kill all these assassins, but when he saw those dark eyes, his heart softened, and he couldn't do it after all.
That's it! Stomped his feet ruthlessly, Tan Sitong hugged Li Yan tightly and turned around and ran out of the restaurant.
There were still pedestrians on the street, Tan Sitong inquired about the direction of the medical hall, and hurriedly ran all the way over.
The doctor's parents were kind, but fortunately the doctor was a kind elder. He asked Tan Sitong to send Li Yan to the back room, so he hurriedly helped her stop the bleeding and heal her injuries.
Suddenly, he heard a knock at the front door, and Tan Sitong was afraid that the assassin would follow him again, so he hurried out to check. Pushing the door and looking around, there was no one on the street. Tan Sitong was about to turn around and go back to the house, when he looked down and saw a bottle on the ground, he bent down to pick it up, opened the bottle and smelled it, knowing that it was a good medicine for gold sores to stop bleeding and build muscles.
Zhu Jialian can make such a powerful drug, and this gold sore medicine is naturally miraculous. Tan Sitong was not afraid of deception, but was sad: "I knew today, why bother at the beginning!" ”
He went back to the house and handed the medicine bottle to the doctor. The doctor picked a little bit and looked at it carefully under the lamp. Sniffed it for a while. His expression became overjoyed: "It's okay now, the old man is worried about the simplicity of the herbs, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to save the girl's life." It's a send-off. This is a very precious medicine for gold sores, which contains Puhuang, Baiji, borneol, Tianqi, Caowu, Bezoar, snake gallbladder, and life-sustaining grass. With this medicine, the girl was saved. ”
