Chapter 1 The Leader of the Water Bandits
In May, the weather gradually cleared, and the rainy season ended in Kyoto. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info streets and alleys, the leaves are bright green, the flowers are blooming, and the air is floating with a faint fragrance. Finally, the gloom of the days is gone, and the breath is refreshing and fragrant. The weather is not yet hot, and it feels just right.
There were two long neighing horses, and at the door of a large house, two housekeepers hurriedly ran down the steps and grabbed the horses.
"Master, uncle."
The two men who dismounted successively were red from the corners of their eyes, and they couldn't see anyone else, so they grabbed the corner of their court clothes and ran into the door.
I ran into the inner courtyard all the way, passed a few hanging flower doors, from the open carved wooden door, hanging Hunan bamboo embroidered curtains, I heard the female relatives talking and laughing.
The maid standing in front of the door saw the person who came, and greeted her with a smile, and before she could call out "Master", she was rushed in by the two who were running.
Entering too fast, the embroidery curtain was torn off by the old man Jin in front.
There was a shock in the house.
The middle-aged woman sitting in the middle was frightened, stroked her chest with one hand, saw the person coming clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "The master is back early, huh?" What's wrong? Why did you run away and sweat, quickly bring water, and twist a warm cloth for the master. β
As he spoke, he stood up.
The Lord Jin standing in front of him is handsome, if you don't look at the sideburns mixed with silver wires, he will only look in his early forties.
The man behind him bent his knees slightly, panting, and he was also handsome with facial features, similar to Lord Jin, who was none other than Lord Jin's son, Lord Jin.
Lord Kim's eyes rolled, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak.
Mrs. Jin suddenly shook her heart: "Master, what's wrong?" β
Seeing his father's excited appearance, Lord Xiaojin straightened his legs, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, little sister, Xi'er... It seems to be back. β
Lady Dongββ, Jin held a beeswax Buddha hand in her hand that she had not had time to put down, and fell on the delicately patterned lichen. I only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and Mrs. Kim was shaking.
In the uproarββ, it was the daughter-in-law Guo Shi on the side who was busy supporting her mother-in-law, and her sleeves were poured over the tea cup on the table.
Guo's face turned slightly pale: "Uncle, you, you say-little sister?" β
The voice was trembling, faintly sharp.
Lord Xiaojin had tears in his eyes, who would have thought that a person who had been dead for many years suddenly appeared.
Mrs. Jin was carried by her daughter-in-law, and finally gasped, and asked Lord Jin with tears: "What Cheng'er said is true?" β
Lord Kim nodded and shook his head.
"True or false?" Mrs. Kim stomped her foot in a hurry.
Master Jin said hoarsely: "It looks like Xi'er, it's just-"
"Just what?" Mrs. Jin pushed away the Guo family who was holding her, and rushed forward to grab Lord Jin's sleeve: "Where?" Where's Xi'er? Say it quickly. β
His wife's tears rained down, making Lord Kim cry too.
"Ganzhou, Cangya Mountain, the lord of the village, enter the capital to face the saint."
Lord Jin's words made Mrs. Jin dazed and angry: "What about Xi'er? I don't listen to others. β
Lord Jin didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "The owner of the village is actually a woman." With Xi'er... Same. β
"Huh?"
The room is silent, and everyone looks at each other, what does it mean?
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Kim asked.
Lord Kim, Lord Little Kim, looked hesitant.
Guo Shi thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Fang Cai, the uncle said that the little sister seems to be back." It seems like? It's just that it looks alike, but... No? β
After speaking, he looked at his husband, Lord Xiaojin, and sure enough, he frowned and hesitated. Then he stepped forward and smiled: "People are similarβ"
"It's too similar, it's exactly the same."
Mrs. Jin clenched Lord Kim's arm, and her powerful nails sank deep into the flesh, but Lord Jin didn't realize it.
Staring closely into Lord Jin's eyes, Mrs. Jin asked, "It's Xi'er, it's Xi'er, isn't it?" You recognize it, it's our daughter, otherwise, why are you crying? β
Master Kim still nodded and shook his head.
Madame Kim pushed him away and wanted to go out: "I'll ask her, I'll ask her." β
Lord Jin turned around and half-hugged her: "Where are you going?" She's still in the palace. β
In the palace? How in the palace?
At this moment, Mrs. Jin remembered Fang Cai, and she seemed to have heard something: "Cangya Mountain... The owner of the village..."Mrs. Jin was excited: "That Jingtian who has been repeatedly encircled and suppressed and finally recruited? Female? β
Wei Jingtian, the owner of Cangya cottage, a tyrant in Ganzhou, and the leader of the water bandits.
Dami, the territory of many plains, located in the southwest of Ganzhou is an absolute exception. There are many mountains and rivers in Ganzhou, the mountains are dangerous peaks, and the water is bad water, and no matter how beautiful the landscape is, it cannot hide the reality that it is not easy to live in fertile land. The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the water bandits and mountain bandits are the native products of Ganzhou since ancient times.
Each generation of the imperial court knows that most of the water bandits in Ganzhou are part-time jobs, just to grab food and not hurt people's lives. There are occasional thorns, not only those who seek wealth and want to kill people, but also those who want to rebel, all of which are brutally suppressed. But something else... Never turn a blind eye.
Maybe this time to close your eyes is a bit long, and when the court is shocked, the Cangya Mountain Landscape Village led by Wei Jingtian, who doesn't want human life, will unify the Ganzhou water bandits, and the family will be dominant.
The imperial court felt that it had been slapped in the face, until it sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it several times, not only did it not suppress the bandits, but no one even saw the innocent face of Jing Jing, and this time it really took heart.
Cangya Mountain, competing for the sky, has become the imperial court, has become a piece of the emperor's heart, and vows to eradicate it. It's a pity that there are internal and external troubles, and the government soldiers and garrisons that can be sent have all failed without exception. Of course, the emperor had real strong troops, but unfortunately, he was entangled by foreign enemies and could not be easily mobilized.
Wei Jingtian's excellent offensive and defensive skills have made people speculate that the legendary master of Cangya Mountain is an old man who is both civil and military, can dispatch troops, and is proficient in Qimen gossip. Later, the emperor didn't know who he listened to and decided to recruit An. Sent Baume & Mercier Goldman Sachs Outstanding Drop. At the time, people speculated that Wei Jingtian slapped the court in the face again and again, clearly harboring antipathy, and he would not be recruited, and maybe Gao Shengjie would be cut off by the impermanent and ruthless Yan Jingtian.
Who knows, it's really recruited!
Many people with brains think it's weird, Wei Jingtian is not stupid, he is a water bandit, and he can't be on the stage, even if he expresses his heart, he is destined to not be reused or even recognized by the imperial court. Isn't he afraid to put down the butcher's knife and be slaughtered on the spot?
But he was released, and he was announced by the emperor to the capital by a holy decree to confer an official. He is not afraid of being surrounded by officers and soldiers and dying in the capital?
But here he is!
Lord Jin said with difficulty: "Wei Jingtian should be recruited into Beijing, and he can go to the Jinluan Palace, and all the civil and military people know that the rumored old man is actually a daughter, andββ"
"Also, it's exactly the same as Xi'er?" Mrs. Jin muttered, her face pale: "Oh my God, how is it possible for the legendary ruthless and murderous ββ, Xi'er?" How can it be? β
Guo Shi whispered: "Little sister won't be like that, little sister is the most kind-"
Mrs. Jin didn't hear Guo's words, what she thought in her heart was that even if that Wei Jingtian was Xi'er, it was also Xi'er's force, but at the beginning, she was anxious, it was really Xi'er, didn't that mean that Xi'er was in danger? She is not an ignorant woman whose eyes are limited to competing for favor in the backyard, what kind of good thoughts can the emperor have when he recruits a water bandit leader? If Wei Jingtian is just Wei Jingtian, she will kill him, but if it is her Xi'er-
"Master, I'll wait for Xi'er at the gate of the palace. You and Cheng'er can't see it, how can I, my mother-in-law, not see it? I'm going to see if it's my Xi'er. β
If not, she would just be wary of dying again. If it is-her Xi'er, even if she only sees this time, she must let her go far away.
