064 Pine branches welcome guests
The sound of the horns of the living creatures, accompanied by their anger that the mountains and forests had been burned and the herds of animals that had been hunted for generations were scattered, roared endlessly in the Yazhu Mountain.
The trumpets were followed by round after round of terrifying man-beast drums.
Tang Fang was in the Grange near Beishan Road, because he had to deal with such a danger for many years, the head of the village just ordered the Zhuang Ding to silently turn the wheel axle, pull up the high hanging door in front of the village, and fill the fire crow guns one after another.
The thunderous sound of muskets from the gods deterred the Shengbo again and again, preventing them from approaching the Grange and from the bloody battle for the land......
As the owners of the farm, the heads of the farm, because they heard the sentry of the owner entering the mountain in distress, had already negotiated with Stonenu and arranged the Ezo warriors, ready to send someone to take Ji Qingchen into the grange at any time.
Ji Qingchen ran quickly with Xiao Ruiniang in her hands, dragging a child in her hand, she was already a little out of breath.
She knew that at this time, in Zhumaji Temple and Dazaifu, the Fuso people were still discussing the final decisive battle on the Seto Inland Sea all night, and she also knew that because of her secret arrangement, the elders in the Tang Fang would not be able to reconsider the owner because of the absence of more than half of the elders, and Saburo could only hurriedly prepare to hold a general meeting......
She had enough time to go to Zhuma Temple.
But she didn't expect to meet Lin Haishengfan's god worship conference.
"Big lady, Third Brother Ji-Third Brother Ji will definitely let the brothers of the Xu family come to pick you up when he hears the whistle-"
Xiao Ruiniang couldn't take care of panting, and reluctantly burst out of this sentence, Ji Qingchen's heart was slightly warm, knowing that this child still had the heart to comfort her, she lowered her head and nodded to her with a smile, and smiled bitterly in her heart:
Saburo must also be very troubled. Why do you think that her sister likes to make trouble for him at this juncture......
He won't go up to the mountain to worship at this time.
That's fine......
She sighed secretly, didn't think about it anymore, and hurried away.
The sound of the horns of the Shengfan revenge declaration of war not only spread to the sky above Tangfang, alarmed the brightly lit Nanfang mansion, alarmed Ji Chenhu, and also spread to the Song boat on the sea five miles away.
Lou Yun stopped in surprise to see the passengers off the boat. Across the sea. Looking up at the direction of Kamozukiyama where the sound of the horn came.
However, he couldn't express his doubts, just glanced at Lou Da who was following behind him, and asked him to inquire about the drum sound. The rest of the qiē went according to plan.
The state banquet has been dispersed, the two Fusang envoys moved the ship to say goodbye, and left disappointed after the Song envoy refused to land, and Lou Da was ordered by Lou Yun. Secretly arranged for another twenty families to bypass the Tangfang boat and land on the potential Fusang ship.
But in his heart, he was still worried about the last batch of twenty brothers who infiltrated Tangfang.
They have failed to capture the female owner. The news that came back was only to inform the adults, and they would follow the instructions of the adults and go to Yazhu Mountain to wait for the opportunity after escaping from Tangfang.
But they may not all be able to escape from Tangfang.
He hurried back to the public hall cabin to resume his life, and saw that Lou Yun, Qin Congyun, and Wang Shiqiang had discussed it. He promised not to accept Fuso's invitation to land as a state envoy.
Seeing that they were satisfied with leaving, Lou Dacai walked into the cabin lightly and bowed with his hands. Hesitantly asked:
"Brother Yun, Lou has not sent a message back yet. They're not going to be caught, are they? I just heard the sound of copper drums on the mountain on the other side of Tangfang, they can't be used as captives to sacrifice to the gods, right? ”
Bronze ware has always been an artifact for worshipping gods in the southwest mountains.
"What nonsense? Tang Fang is not a barbarian, and the voice is not coming from the fang, Lou has not been arrested. ”
Lou Yun sat on the chair, although there was no worry, and his face was not good-looking, he couldn't help but worry Lou Da even more, Lou Yun
Seeing his anxious appearance, he knew that he still lacked experience and was not calm enough, so he could only frown helplessly:
"Haven't you also heard that witchcraft and wild sacrifices are strictly forbidden in Tang Fang? Only the Dayu Temple of Kaihe is enshrined in the workshop, in addition
It was the Guanyin Temple built by the Song merchants, and at most the Taoist boat assistants who were in charge of watching the compass would ask for the establishment of a Zhenhai Taoist temple at the mouth of the river - where would these temples be sacrificed by living people? ”
Seeing that Lou Da still looked worried, he didn't bother to say more, took out the white silk letter bag that Chen Hong secretly handed over to him at the state banquet from his sleeve, and threw it on the long case with mirror paintings.
"Look for yourself-" Lou Da knew that this white silk bag was a reply from the female owner he received not long ago, and Lou Yun's face was not very good when he saw it at that time, so he would let it
He was worried that Lou and his twenty brothers had been arrested.
Hearing the drum beat from the mountain in Tangfang again, with rumbling battle intent, he didn't even need to inquire to know that it should be the precursor of the bloody war of the tribe, and he couldn't help but think of the past when the tribes fought in the southwest Yi Mountain, there would be captives sacrificed by the living.
He opened the white silk embrace, and at first glance he saw the emerald green pine branches, and glanced at Lou Yun for some reason, and saw that he had no intention of prompting at all, so he could only use his brain, and then carefully read the two poems written by the charcoal pen:
Haike talks about Yingzhou, and it is difficult to find a letter in the smoke wave.
"--My lord, what do you mean by this female owner?"
In addition to knowing that these two lines of poetry should be the verses in the famous Tang poem "Sleepwalking in the Sky and Leaving Farewell" that Lou Yun asked them to memorize, he didn't know the meaning of these two poems written by the female owner at all.
Although Lou Yun's past letter was short and simple enough, he still attached an official title, indicating that it was written to Ji's family, but the letter written by the female owner was even more unclear.
He couldn't help but secretly slander that Lou Yun and Ji were carrying it to the death, and they had to compete with each other.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was the excitement on the face of Chen Hong, who hurried into the door.
Chen Hong had already stolen the pine branch one step earlier than Lou Da when he sent the letter, and guessed Ji Qingchen's meaning, at this time, he saw the white silk bag opened in Lou Da's hand, so he stepped forward to take the emerald green pine branch, held it in his hand and smiled at Lou Yun: "My lord, since this female owner borrowed the pine branch to send her message and invited the adult to land, why don't you push the boat down to Tangfang?" As long as you don't go ashore in the name of the envoy and don't live in the Fuso Honglu Pavilion, you naturally don't need to worry about getting involved in the civil strife in Fuso, and it will be difficult to explain in front of the official family when you go back. ”
Lou Da was confused, and he didn't see how the female grave owner invited Lou Yun to land. Instead, Lou Yun laughed.
Chen Hong stepped forward and presented the half of the green pine branch to him, Lou Yun slowly turned the branches and leaves, and said with a smile:
"Pine branches welcome guests, and she is also a little elegant."
That Ji clan must have been associated with Wang Shiqiang and Xie Guoyun, the children of the Great Song family, who have family studies, for a long time, and gradually learned the Chinese style.
"My lord, that's what you mean by this pine branch?" Lou Da immediately reacted. I immediately recognized that the pine branch was not an ordinary green pine. It is a common welcome pine in the mountains
Branches and leaves, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
――According to the female owner's implicit invitation, you can know the situation in Tang Fang, if Tang Fang catches Lou Fang. Where would she be so polite?
"My lord, since she is willing to invite, why should my lord push her kindness? In any case, she is still the master of Tang Fang now. The adults were in Quanzhou to reward the officials for the head of the small country, and there were many women. Why bother to support that Ji Chenhu? What good is it for us to meddle in the civil strife in Fuso? ”
Chen Hong persuaded bitterly, and completely changed his tone, at this time, he was afraid that this military envoy would be young and vigorous. regarded the four islands of Fusang as a mortal enemy of the Jin Kingdom, and he had to support that Ji Chenhu to grab a few pieces of territory.
Lou Yun didn't answer, and reached out to take the two lines of poetry on the white paper scroll in his hand. After glancing at Chen Hong twice, he was anxious and inexplicable. Said slowly: "Chen Gangshou, you still have a private contract with this female owner, and the official doesn't know it, so it's really a bit of a surprise——"
Lou Yun said as he pushed the two lines of poetry in front of him on the long case, smiling faintly,
"Since she deliberately asked the official to transfer these two lines of poetry to you, the official can be regarded as fulfilling her mission-"
“…… Private appointments? ”
Chen Hong was puzzled, but looking at Lou Yun's smiling appearance, he only felt that the intestines were slightly hairy when he was in his stomach, and he shook his head like a drum, and flatly denied it.
"My lord, how dare the villain hide that the adult has a private contract with her? Every time the villain writes a letter to Tang Fang, he hands it over to the adult and asks the adult to modify it, and it is impossible for the villain to contact the female owner in private. ”
Lou Yun had already thought about this matter in his heart, so he didn't embarrass him, but said:
“…… It doesn't have to be you. ”
He smiled faintly, he didn't mean to blame, the somewhat annoyed look just now had already been pressed down by him, Chen Hong was also half relieved, neither dared to persuade again, nor dared to ask the female owner what the two poems written on the paper scroll "Haike talks about Yingzhou, the smoke wave is slightly blank and difficult to find" The meaning of the two poems.
Which word can tell that she has a personal contract with the Chen family?
Cronies such as Lou Da could see at a glance that Lou Yun was surprised by this female owner in his heart, and he was already a little annoyed that he was not in his control, but he continued to laugh and asked:
"This official almost forgot about it, I heard that Gongzi Wenchang also personally wrote a letter to the Ji family?"
Chen Hong was stunned, and then he remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
Because Chen Wenchang and Ji's correspondence was a private message between men and women on a blind date, and they only wrote a text message out of courtesy, they were not presented to Lou Yun for inspection, and he also asked his nephew Chen Wenchang, knowing that the letter was only an exchange of greetings, and then wrote some of the terroir of Quanzhou to that lady Ji, he didn't care at all.
The uncle rushed to see his nephew's love letters, and there was really no such rule.
Shangguan and outsiders like Lou Yun are, of course, even more inconvenient to ask.
As for Chen Wenchang's mother, she was so angry that she hadn't spoken to her husband for several months because her youngest son was going to marry a Yi girl, and even Chen Hong's wife and her cousin and daughter-in-law came to visit, but she called her sick.
She didn't stop her youngest son from writing a letter to the girl who didn't understand the rules, she was already a woman in the house who knew everything clearly and knew how to advance and retreat.
Thinking bitterly back to all kinds of rumors in the Chen family's mansion, as well as the sacrifices made by their whole family in order to make Fujian maritime merchants return to the East China Sea, Chen Hong suddenly understood:
Half an hour ago, after Lou Yun hurriedly read the letter sent back by Steward Chen at the state banquet, he suddenly asked him to invite Chen Wenchang and let him come over to meet after the state banquet, which turned out to be a "private appointment".
And his nephew, who was studying hard behind closed doors, actually opened his mind, and it happened that he also had something to visit Lord Lou, so he came as soon as he was invited.
――Isn't that what it means to be willing to marry the owner?
Could it be that he and the female owner have already fallen in love?
In shock, he noticed Lou Yun's kind but cold gaze, and his heart trembled greatly, and he suddenly exclaimed:
"My nephew, my nephew is already waiting outside, so you can summon him and ask him personally."
“…… Let's ask Prince Wenchang to come. (To be continued) R655
