The next day was the day of the execution of the two ministers of Yu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the morning, many people went out with their families, and walked towards the entrance of the vegetable market one after another, many of them holding incense and wine and food in their hands, covering their faces with their sleeves, and they were full of grief. Wuwei and Dongfang Lin are also among these ordinary people. Dongfang Yan originally wanted to go with him, but was dissuaded by Dongfang Lin, saying that he was a person with an official position, and it might not be good if he was recognized in the limelight, so he had to ask Dongfang Lin to bring a bottle of wine to see him off. The closer to the entrance of the vegetable market, the denser the flow of people, and the execution platform could be seen from a distance, the two of them had just found a teahouse to stand under the eaves, and suddenly saw the two of them walking out of the teahouse, and they took a look at Wuwei, it was actually Duan Yunyi and Tian Wenxiao.

Dongfang Lin has never dressed up, she is still a homely woman, and Duan Yunyi doesn't recognize her. In the accident, several people clasped their fists at the same time and saluted each other. Duan Yunyi said: "How is Shangguan Gongzi doing lately? Wuwei said: "It's okay." I haven't seen him for many days, and it turns out that Duan Gongzi is still in the capital. Duan Yunyi said: "The Xihai League has been haunting the capital in recent days, and I can't wait to find out a clue, and I can't leave for a while." He looked at Dongfang Lin and said, "May I ask who this is?" ”

Dongfang Lin arched his hand and said: "The second eldest of the Nanjing Dongfang family." ”

Duan Yunyi showed respect and saluted: "It turned out to be a young lady from the Dongfang family, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Dongfang Lin said: "The loyal minister was killed, and Shangguan Gongzi and I came to see them off." ”

Duan Yunyi nodded, and asked Wuwei again: "Why isn't Lin Shaoxia with you?" Wuwei's face changed slightly, and he said, "He, he went back to Nanjing." ”

Duan Yunyi said again: "A few days ago, the emperor was reinstated, and in the past few days, those ministers have been killed, degraded, and degraded, Qiu Yinming...... How's that now? Wuwei thought for a while and said, "He's okay...... Didn't get involved. Duan Yunyi sneered lightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not okay, but it's very good." Wuwei didn't answer, thinking: Yinming is also a special person in the capital, and there are probably a lot of rumors. This Yunyi and he thought that it was not small, so why should he say more.

At this time, only the sound of the gong was heard, and someone shouted from afar. When everyone heard the reputation, they saw Yu Qian and Wang Wen standing on the prisoner car, their sideburns were messy, and their faces were withered. Many people knelt down on the side of the road, putting out all kinds of wine and food, and Dongfang Lin also stepped forward to put the wine on the side of the road. The officers and soldiers escorting the prisoner van did not stop it. Seeing that the two adults looked calm and fearless, many people were already in tears. Tian Wenxiao whispered: "When I was a child, I heard my father say that Lord Yu was a good official for the country and the people when he tried his best to protect the capital under the iron hooves of Wara, and this court was really blind. Duan Yunyi sighed and said, "It's a pity, although we pretend to be chivalrous and righteous, we are still helpless when we encounter this kind of thing." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the warden drew out the token.

"Execution!" Tokens are loud.

The dense clouds in the sky pressed the city, there were faint bursts of thunder, the yin wind was biting, with a faint smell of blood, teased on the tip of the nose, sunk in the heart, did not dare to look at the execution table, only felt a deep chill echoing in the chest, extremely uncomfortable, silently recited the scriptures. It seemed strangely quiet.

Dongfang Lin sighed, looked up at the sky, and inadvertently swept the corner of his eyes on the second floor of a tavern opposite, but saw a rather familiar figure. If you look closely, isn't that Sima Xin! Hurriedly pulled Wuwei's sleeve, pointed to the tavern with one hand, and said in a low voice: "Look upstairs over there." Sima Xin is here. Ahh He also saw us. ”

Wu Wei raised his eyes and met Sima Xin's gaze, and said, "He seems to recognize you." ”

I saw Sima Xin turn around and leave the window, and after a while, he came out of the tavern, and approached Wuwei and said, "Shangguan Gongzi, don't come to harm?" When he looked up, he looked at Dongfang Lin and smiled: "Miss Dongfang, I haven't seen you for many days, and I almost can't recognize it." Dongfang Lin was embarrassed in his heart, but his face did not change, he arched his hand to him, and said lightly: "Childe is smiling." ”

Sima Xin nodded to Duan Yunyi again and said, "Duan Gongzi." Duan Yunyi was stunned, he had never seen this person, he was suspicious in his heart, and he hugged his fists and said, "May I ask the surname of Gongzi?" Sima Xin said: "Sima Xin in Lower Luoyang." I have heard the name of Duan Gongzi for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today. A few of them must have come to see off the two loyal ministers. ”

Duan Yunyi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Sima Xin said: "Since we have the same intention, why don't we be the east today and eat together?" Duan Yunyi was surprised in his heart: he had heard that this person was unruly and unruly, and there was no one in his eyes. How did he recognize himself if he had never met? Moreover...... I only heard Sima Xin say again: "Is there anything inconvenient about Duan Gongzi?" Duan Yunyi said with a smile: "Sima Gongzi's name, Duan has admired him for a long time, and it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”

Dongfang Lin didn't want to get involved, and was about to resign. But he didn't want Sima Xin to preemptively say: "Miss Dongfang, don't be polite." A few days ago, you and Shangguan Gongzi were in a hurry, and today is just the right time to catch up. Dongfang Lin was angry in his heart, but firstly, it was inconvenient to show it in front of Duan Yunyi, and secondly, if he insisted on refusing it, he would seem to be a childish person, so he simply remained silent. Wuwei saw that she didn't say anything, and didn't want to do much, so he had to nod his head and muttered in his heart: Where do you have anything to talk about with him.

The market gradually returned to its usual order, and the five of them found a simple and elegant restaurant, which was already past the bustling hour, and there were not many customers. As a few people sat down, other tables in the hall cast curious glances one after another. Dongfang Lin knew that these people were looking at themselves. I was going to go back soon, but I didn't deliberately dress up. Now sitting at a table with four men is very eye-catching. The cousin stepped forward and politely asked, "What do you want?" ”

Sima Xin said: "Let's ask Miss Dongfang to order." ”

The cousin looked at Dongfang Lin curiously.

Dongfang Lin thought to himself: This person will always have trouble with me. Hmph, you're the east anyway. So he smiled slightly, looked up and said, "Let's go to the West Lake Longjing first." Do you have fresh fruits and vegetables? Seeing that this girl was very sophisticated, she didn't dare to slack off, so she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes." Cucumbers, eggplants, beans, bean sprouts, leeks, fresh bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms, all fresh. Dongfang Lin said: "That's good." I want stir-fried bean sprouts, shredded leek pork, garlic eggplant, shrimp and cucumber, stewed lamb brisket, braised goose paw with green onions, roasted duck with fresh bamboo shoots, vinegared fish fillet, and a scallop tofu soup. So be it. ”

Dongfang Linmian said to Sima Xin again: "I know that Gongzi has always been generous, if there are more, I will change a few." ”

Sima Xin smiled and said to the cousin: "Not much, that's all." ”

Wuwei knew that Dongfang Lin was taking this opportunity to blackmail Sima Xin. I have lived in the capital for a long time and know what the price of fresh vegetables is in such cold weather. Qiu Yinming's family can only eat a small plate of cucumbers in ten days and a half months, and usually only pickled cowpeas with Chinese cabbage. Seeing a malicious smile on Dongfang Lin's face, Wuwei almost laughed out loud, but there were still people next to him, so he had to endure it. And Duan Yunyi and Tian Wenxiao were completely confused by the second monk at this time.

Duan Yunyi was surprised, although this Dongfang family is a well-known family in the martial arts, but except for Lin Dongfang, who is said to be the young master of the Dongfang family, he has never heard of the deeds of the juniors, and it has long been rumored that the number one dart game in the world is actually a successor. Today, I actually met the young lady of the Oriental family here. This young lady behaves generously, without the slightest appearance of a daughter in the boudoir, and as if she is familiar with Sima Xin, it seems that the rumors are not reliable.

At this time, Sima Xin said: "I heard that the Xihai League has been making frequent incidents near the capital recently, and many righteous people in the martial arts are coming to investigate one after another, isn't Duan Gongzi also here for this?" ”

Duan Yunyi said: "Exactly." ”

Sima Xin said: "Don't hide it from everyone, I am also here for the Xihai Alliance." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised. Duan Yunyi said: "Oh? Who can work as a son? Could it be that Xihai League and Guizhuang also have any festivals? ”

Sima Xin said: "It's not a family affair in our village. Two months ago, more than a dozen people from the Xihai League went to the Shaolin Temple to provoke and injured many monks. The abbot asked me to help me find out about it. Later, I heard that the Xihai League was killing people and destroying people near Jingshi, so I tracked it down. ”

Dongfang Lin and Wuwei listened strangely on the side. If someone went to Shaolin Temple to find fault, it would have been spread a long time ago, but I had never heard of it before returning to Beijing. At this time, Sima Xin said again: "Miss Dongfang and Shangguan Gongzi are also here to participate in this matter?" ”

Dongfang Lin said: "Our family only does business, and we don't care much about the rest. My brother is an official in the capital, and I am only here to accompany my brother, and I don't know the deeds of the Xihai League. Wuwei followed: "I don't know these things either. One of my classmates is now an official in the capital, and I just came to visit him. At this time, the dishes were served one after another. The vegetables are fresh, and this meal will probably cost a lot of silver. Since he had already explained that it was none of his business, Dongfang Lin didn't say anything more, and went straight to eat the vegetables, ignoring the strange faces of Duan Yunyi and Tian Wenxiao. Wuwei was a little embarrassed, but seeing Dongfang Lin's gloating appearance, he had to eat something.

Sima Xin didn't seem to mind, and turned to Duan Yunyi and said, "I heard that many martial arts people have gathered in Miyun Fort for many days, but they haven't found out a clue yet. ”

When Duan Yunyi heard this, his face was a little uncomfortable, and he only said, "Yes." The people of the Western Sea Alliance are full of tricks, and I once secretly noticed that the leader of the killer who committed two murders is said to be a big man in the West Sea Alliance. But it seems that they found out, and they haven't caught a clue since. ”

Sima Xin said: "I have just come to the capital, and I haven't gone to Miyun Castle to meet heroes from all walks of life. Since Duan Gongzi came before me, it is better to do a personal favor and tell Lord Li that I will visit in the near future, and by the way, I will get acquainted with the heroes from all walks of life. ”

Duan Yunyi smiled: "This is natural. However, Humane Son, you have always been idle and wild, and you don't like to associate with people in the martial arts, why do you take the initiative to go to Miyun Fort now? ”

Sima Xin said: "The things entrusted by the Shaolin abbot cannot be delayed. Besides, our Huaiyue Villa is also a famous martial arts family, but it has been closed for many years, so it's good to come out and walk around. ”

A few people chatted casually for half an hour, and the table was almost full of food. Duan Yunyi also made an appointment to meet others, so he took Tian Wenxiao to get up and say goodbye first.

When the two of them walked away, Sima Xin suddenly said: "Miss Dongfang, I heard my mother say that some time ago, your family and the Bai family of Wenjian Pavilion discussed marriage, but there was a result?" ”

Dongfang Lin was taken aback, unhappy in his heart, and said, "How do you know about this?" ”

Sima Xin said: "Don't hide it from you, my father's sister is the wife of the Sword Pavilion Master." My aunt was unkind, and never had anything to do with my family, but she had better show off, and had written to her about it a month ago. Now there are results? ”

Dongfang Lin said coldly: "What do you mean?" It's not your turn to take care of my family's affairs. ”

Sima Xin smiled slightly and said, "Miss misunderstood." I just wanted to remind you that I had the opportunity to get to know my cousin first. If your family has agreed to this marriage, with the means of your vice president, it is probably okay to withdraw from the marriage if you want to. ”

Dongfang Lin frowned and was silent.

Sima Xin said: "I will do everything I say. Miss is a smart person, so let's do it for myself. Two of you, there will be a period later. After that, he got up and said goodbye to the two, paid the bill and left.

Dongfang Lin was stunned for a while, and suddenly said to Wuwei: "This person is so strange." Tell me what these are for. ”

Wuwei said: "I don't know whether to say it or not." In fact, there is some truth in his words. It's time to learn about the character of the Bai family's son. What if ......" Dongfang Lin said: "What if you understand?" Shouldn't I get out of the marriage if I don't like it? I don't want to find out, but what does that change? ”

Nothing to say. Dongfang Lin is telling the truth, a young lady like her, her parents are in charge of marriage, and it is a matter of course, and it is an inescapable fact when she reaches age.

Dongfang Lin sighed and said, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if his character is not good, my parents have already agreed." If I want to repent of marriage, it is a great unfilial piety, and what will make the Dongfang family face. Forget it, don't think about it yet, it's still a few months. Let's go. ”
