Chapter 057: Oolong Incident
Pingcheng, a prosperous place, a capital of wealth.
The mountains and rivers in the Wei State are surrounded by the towering Taihang Mountains in the east, and the Yellow River is the moat in the west, facing the Xia Kingdom; It spans the Great Wall in the north and is adjacent to the northern prairie.
Pingchengdi is located in the cross passage of Yinshan, Yanshan, Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and is the central passage of wild geese from south to north. With Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass and other passes as a danger, it is the throat of the Saiwai Plateau leading to the Central Plains, and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.
Pingcheng is composed of three parts: the imperial city, the capital city, and the Guocheng city. The imperial city is the place where the palace and the kings live, with the Taiji Hall as the center, the moon view Xia Pavilion, the Lingtai Mountain, the wall water pool is round, the feather is forested, and the buildings are staggered. The capital is a city where the eunuchs and nobles live, the houses are side by side, the nine Qu look at each other, the song platform dances, and the moon hall and cloud hall. Guocheng is located in the south of the imperial city, is the place where the common people live together, the houses in the city are continuous, the gardens are confined to the gardens, the places of interest and the ancient temples are clustered, the flowers are splendid, and the eternal romance is endless.
At this time, Emperor Ming Yuan of the Great Wei Dynasty took advantage of the death of Liu Yu of the Southern Song Dynasty, and ordered the emperor's eldest son Tuoba Tao to sit in Pingcheng, and he himself led the army southward to attack the Henan area of Liu Song. The emperor's eldest son, Tuoba Tao, has been named the king of Taiping, and the palace of Taiping has become the center of important military and political affairs in Pingcheng.
Early in the morning, Qiyun inquired that Tuoba Tao, the king of Taiping, was going to take a team of men and horses to the outskirts of the city to inspect the defense. So, Qiyun dressed up, his hair was pulled into a bun, he was wearing a dark blue power suit, and his face was smeared with some potion to hide his skin like snow, leaving only a pair of eyes that were still as clear as water, as if he was a civil and military prince of the Chaoying Palace.
Riding a horse leisurely on the official road, waiting for Tuoba Tao to lead the team to pass. Soon she heard the sound of a drum beating gold, and the dust rose in the distance, and she looked up......
A group of young people with extraordinary momentum, riding horses and whips, waving the banner of the Taiping Palace, galloped majestically.
The first one was tied with a golden crown, wearing a crimson brocade robe, golden embroidery, and a large coat with mink trimming, noble and dazzling. At a glance, Qiyun recognized the King Taiping in front of him in brocade clothes, who was the young man who claimed to be a Buddha in Chang'an that day. For two years, the scorching sun of the northern frontier faded his whiteness and gave his complexion a soft and pleasant glaze. The desert wind and sand have worn away the childishness of the boy, giving him wildness and bravery, with a thunderous momentum beyond his age. The young man has grown into a handsome man like a black jade carving.
The group of people and horses went away, only Qiyun was still staring at his figure blankly, and slowly rode back to Pingcheng.
Since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the two generations of emperors have been quite clear and clear and live with the people. Pingcheng is more rigorous, orderly, Lifang liquor shops stand on both sides, the traffic is busy, pedestrians are like carp, a prosperous image.
For a few days, Qiyun dressed up as a handsome boy and wandered around, very comfortable.
At noon on this day, Qiyun was hungry, so he went to Qifeng Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in Pingcheng, to eat some exquisite side dishes. She liked the quiet environment, so she went straight to the second floor and chose a window seat to sit in. There was no one upstairs, only a table of people not far from her.
After ordering the dishes, when I was waiting for boredom, I suddenly heard a person at the next table lower his voice and said, "Chen San, a few days ago, did you step on all the points?" ”
Qiyun, frightened, listened attentively, only to hear those people continue to whisper: "I have already investigated, in Liuye Lane, there is no one in the Zhou family's mansion, the men have gone out to do business, and most of the women are left. Later, when we're done eating, we'll be able to ......."
Qiyun estimated that when they finished eating, they were going to do some stealing chickens and dogs. So, after eating unhurriedly, I watched their departing figures, flying all the way to the wall, light as a swallow, and quietly followed them. Qiyun saw that their group had arrived at a secluded alley, only to see several of them stacking one on top of the other, and they climbed into the wall in a few steps, leaving only one person outside the wall to control the wind.
After waiting for a while, I heard several cries coming from inside the wall, "Chen San, Chen San." Chen San answered, and shouted inside: "A few of us, we got several packages, you pick us up outside." Then Chen San agreed again.
As soon as Qiyun heard the music, he flicked a small pebble in his hand and hit Chen San's sleeping hole. Chen San was silent and fell to the ground softly. Qiyun smiled brightly and stood in Chen San's position just now and waited.
After a while, I heard the people inside shouting softly, "Chen San, go on." As he spoke, a package was thrown out of the wall, and Qiyun hurriedly took it with his hand, and there seemed to be a lot of gold and silver in it. Chen San, did you get it? ”
Qiyun didn't speak, just let out a rough "um". Then, another package was thrown out of it, and Qiyun hurriedly put down the one in his hand, and took the second package with both hands.
She thought to herself, I wonder how many more packages they threw out, and after they were done, how could they get out of the way? Before they could climb the wall, they had to go. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud shout, "What are you doing here?" ”
Qiyun turned her head to look when she heard the sound, and saw a team of people coming in front of her at some point, like the rapid capture of the government office, all of them were serious and mighty, and they were glaring at her angrily. She replied, "I didn't do anything." ”
The head catcher at the head shouted angrily: "Little thief, you dare to say that you didn't do anything." What's that under your feet and in your hands? ”
Qiyun looked down and saw that there was a package under his feet, and he was holding one in his arms, no wonder others regarded him as a thief. immediately smiled, "Official, you misunderstood. I overheard that they were coming here to steal. Therefore, I followed them, knocked out a lookout, and planned to take their package and send it to the government when the time came. ”
"Knocked out a person, where? Why didn't we see it? The headhunters asked.
"Ah, I didn't see it, I was still lying here just now? Hey! What about people? Qiyun looked at the ground, looked around again, and didn't see Chen San who was looking at the wind. Then he came to his senses, and his acupoint kung fu was not yet home, and the man woke up soon after, and must have taken advantage of his own inattention, and saw the officers and soldiers coming, and sneaked away.
The head catcher looked at Qiyun and shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said angrily: "What else do you have to say? Hurry up and get caught. Someone, come forward and get this thief for me. ”
Qiyun hurriedly stretched out his arms in front of him and said, "Wait, what I just said is all true." You don't go to catch thieves, but you're here to talk to me. It's really all out of thieves! ”
"Don't listen to his verbosity, tie me up quickly, and send it to the government office." After speaking, several officials with ropes and sticks in their hands stepped forward to capture Qiyun. Qiyun saw that the officials were menacing, and did not listen to her defense. In desperation, they only took out the long silk from their arms and protected their bodies, their bodies drifted and changed, and the long silk hit them one by one at the crook of their knees.
Those people only felt dazzled for a while, and before they could see clearly, they only felt that their knees were sore, and they fell to the ground one after another. Seeing this, the head catcher hurriedly stepped forward with a stick. Qiyun saw that he was extremely brave and powerful, and the stick in his hand danced vigorously, but his martial arts moves were commonplace.
So, Qiyun avoided his attack, found his flaws, waved the long silk, and the white shadow covered the sky, and went under the hood of his head. When he woke up, the head catcher had been tied up in a knot by Chang Aya, like a rice dumpling.
The catcher struggled desperately, shouting to himself: "Shameless thief, hurry up and let Uncle Ben go." Otherwise, insulting the court officials will be punished by one degree. ”
Qiyun was waiting to exert his strength in his hands, tightening the long silk. At this moment, a gust of palm wind came from the side, and she deftly dodged to avoid it, and heard a person say loudly: "This king has come to learn your Excellency's tricks." ”
