Chapter 249: Opportunity
In the early spring of March, the sun is still cold. Su Qingyuan conducted a series of assessments on Chen Qiuniang, thinking that in just two years, Chen Qiuniang has learned three or four out of ten of his skills, which is very good, and he can go to the world alone to travel and practice.
When Chen Qiuniang heard Su Qingyuan's judgment, she looked at her master a little blankly, and muttered, "Go down the mountain?" ”
Su Qingyuan nodded and said: "The most important thing in the skill of disguise is the grasp of life, human nature, various characters, and the thorough familiarity with the environment and customs. If you can't travel thousands of miles, see thousands of people in the world, and go through all things in the world, how can you become a real easy person. Now, you've mastered your skills, and that's what you're missing is this kind of integration, so go ahead. I think it's been more than two years, and you want to go down the mountain too. ”
Chen Qiuniang nodded and said, "Sakura respectfully follows Master's teachings. ”
Su Qingyuan glanced at him and said very sternly: "You remember, I won't send anyone to protect you." If you're in danger, I'll stand by. You are now capable enough to safely roam the world. If something happens, it's your own doing. ”
Sakura understands. Chen Qiuniang stood very respectfully in front of her master.
Today's master has changed his face, white-haired, old-fashioned, dressed in a gray cloth old man's robe, on crutches, slightly rickety, and every gesture is the posture of a white-haired fairy, and he can't tell that he is a man in his twenties.
Su Qingyuan coughed twice, straightened his beard and said, "If you really understand, after you go down the mountain, don't go to see anyone before." You must know that it has been almost three years, and for them, Chen Qiuniang is dead, and it is not so painful now. ”
"Sakura obeys." Chen Qiuniang was already standing there respectfully.
Su Qingyuan sighed, shook his head, and said, "I'm a bit of a strong man. But for your own good, if you fall into the fate of the past, you will never recover. Man is only strong enough to control his destiny. to be able to do whatever you want. Find it out for yourself. ”
"Master, don't worry, before the first snow in California comes, Sakura will bring back good wine for Master." Chen Qiuniang bowed deeply to Su Qingyuan. Her heart at this moment is already very clear: if time has faded that unforgettable love, Zhang Ci can gradually let go of her obsession, and she can also live a life without him.
She was originally the one who had lost her beloved; The days after the loss of a loved one. Although sad. Although lonely, what a powerful person is she Jiang Yun?
She can really afford this loss!
"Hmm. Go ahead, your bags are in the back wing. Leave early while it's still early. Su Qingyuan waved his hand.
Chen Qiuniang bowed deeply and went to the back room to get her bags. The bag was nothing more than a cloth bag, a little broken silver, a few copper coins, and two sets of clothes to be washed. Something else is some easy containers and feng shui utensils. In addition, there is a dagger for self-defense. It looks sharp. She knew that Master had personally chosen it for her.
Chen Qiuniang packed up the belongings, put them away in a clear category, and went down the mountain.
At the bottom of the hill is the city of California, where you can see a huge Buddha statue sitting in the distance, with a serene majesty. Chen Qiuniang stood quietly by the California River, looking at the Buddha statue on the other side. Put your hands together. said to himself in the bottom of his heart: "Jiang Yun, come on." ”
And then. She turned around and entered California City, where she lived as a well-traveled scholar in a modest inn in California City. Although Xiaolou Inn is a time-honored inn, it has always been a civilian inn with low fees, so it has always been the best choice for tourists, and it is also the place with the most news from the south to the north.
Chen Qiuniang pretended to be a scholar and stayed in this inn. There are countless three religions and nine streams in the inn, and there is a table around three or three, which is to talk about the present and the general trend of the world. During the period, there are also food sellers shuttling in the crowd, which is very lively.
It was still early, so Chen Qiuniang found a corner in the lobby and sat down, asked for two steamed buns and a pot of coarse tea, ate slowly, and listened to the discussion from the south to the north.
The man with a black face, with a northern accent, shouted in a loud voice: "But you don't know that Xiao Siwen, the powerful prime minister of the Liao people, accompanied the Liao Jingzong to hunt and was shot and killed. ”
"Why don't you know, there was a leather merchant who said it last year." A young man in Tsing Yi next to him replied loudly.
"Do you know this, but do you know who did it?" The black-faced man asked aloud.
Not to be outdone, the young man in Tsing Yi said, "I heard that I was hit by three arrows at once." It must be an archer. ”
The black-faced man glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi with disdain, and continued to say proudly: "You don't know, that Xiao Siwen was hit by three arrows. The Liao people still couldn't find where it came from, and Xiao Siwen was killed on the spot. ”
"Say it as if you know who did it. I'm still listening, and you haven't said why. The young man in Tsing Yi made sarcastic remarks.
The black-faced man didn't bother to pay attention to his expression, and said unhurriedly: "My brother who is a good man knows that the three arrows are all named. The arrows all have the word 'chai' on them. ”
"Yikes." Someone exclaimed. Another person asked, "Isn't it the Chai family?" ”
"Wouldn't it? If there is such a brave person, why do you have the yellow robe behind you? Someone else said.
"Isn't the Chai family child already dead? There are few descendants of the Chai family, and this is everyone's bright house. Someone else said.
Chen Qiuniang ate the buns quietly, and then poured herself a cup of coarse tea and drank it slowly. In her mind, she remembered Chai Yu's stubborn face.
If it was Chai Yu, it would be possible to fire three arrows at once. Because Chai Yu once revealed the elite education he received since he was a child. Moreover, with the help of Zhang Ci, he left the town of *, and must have gone to find the secret army left to him by his father. In the past three years, she Chen Qiuniang can learn all the skills, and it is not surprising that Chai Yu can learn to wear Yang in a hundred steps.
It's just that if it's really Chai Yu's doing. Why did he go to deal with the Liao. Moreover, even if the Liao people are assassinated, it is Liao Jingzong who should be assassinated, why kill Xiao Siwen.
"You don't understand, do you?" The black-faced man saw that everyone was in a mess, and after laughing proudly, he said, "You don't understand the affairs of the court." Let me tell you this, the real prince of the Chai family is not the little emperor, at that time, the Zhao family was a multi-pronged approach. As soon as Sejong died, the Zhao clan killed his crown prince, and then set up a puppet prince. ”
"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately ran over to the black-faced man and said it.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Let's talk about it. Besides, the news has spread in the north, and we have heard about it. The black-faced man patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder, with a look of indifference.
The shopkeeper was quite embarrassed, and the crowd also smiled and said, "Everyone is chatting, and the shopkeeper is not serious." ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's your business, the government asks, but they can't blame me." As he spoke, he walked away, but the black-faced man continued, "This prince is now in the Northland, and he is said to be as brave and intelligent as Sejong." ”
"Then he should also find an enemy, what should he do with Xiao Siwen?" Someone asked the question in Chen Qiuniang's heart.
Chen Qiuniang glanced at the man, who was a thin rickety. She looked at it again and judged that the man had not been dressed up in any way.
"You don't understand that. Xiao Siwen was a defeated soldier under Sejong back then. Later, Sejong died, but this defeated general became the privy envoy and prime minister of Nanyuan of Liao, and became the father-in-law of Liaojingzong. This man has gained his will, and it has become more and more rampant. He has slandered Sejong on various occasions many times. The black-faced man explained.
"Ah, slandering a deceased emperor many times, he is really a villain, and he deserves to die." Someone said with a sigh.
"yes. slanders other people's sons, don't blame other people's sons for revenge. Someone else answered.
The black-faced man said proudly: "This is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is said that this kid sent another horse to shoot Liao Jingzong for the second time. ”
"Ah, good shot. However, it would be nice if he could shoot Liao Jingzong to death. Someone applauded in unison.
"Not really." Someone sighed.
The black-faced man pouted and said, "You don't know the doorway." In short, the boy from the Chai family shot Liao Jingzong's horse, causing him to fall off the horse and pee on his ass in fright. I heard that there was a letter tied to that arrow, to the effect that the Liao people should go back to herding horses and sheep, and return the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures obediently, otherwise they would not shoot a horse and a dog next time. ”
Everyone applauded Chai Yu's actions again, feeling that this should be the integrity of the Central Plains, and this is the backbone of the nation. It's not like Zhao always doing insidious things.
Chen Qiuniang had already finished dealing with the two buns and was slowly drinking coarse tea.
She already knew at this moment that Chai Yu had found the secret unit that Chai Rong had left him, and finally after ten years of silence, he began to declare war on an extremely terrible fate.
And at this moment, he is using an extremely risky way to create public opinion for himself and win fame for himself. Then one day when he openly opposes Zhao Song, he can justify it. Moreover, if you can obtain the sixteen states of Yanyun and use these sixteen states as a base, you will have a foothold and can compete with the Zhao clan in the world.
And Chai Yu's choice of this time seems to be good, the father of the historical Khitan Empress Dowager Xiao Siwen has just died. That Empress Dowager Xiao is now the wife of Liao Jingzong, Liao Jingzong is still alive, Empress Dowager Xiao has just been newly married Yan'er, and her lover - Han Derang, a Han man who can influence the political situation of the Liao people and bring prosperity to the Liao country, has not yet entered the political core of the Liao people.
The Liao State is still in a period of weak vitality, if the secret troops in Chai Yu's hands are sharp enough, they may be able to defeat the Liao State in one fell swoop.
Well, let's say so. Chai Yu's reputation will be more thorough, and his strength will be even stronger. As for the affairs of the Nine Great Families, if she insisted on interfering in Chai Yu's affairs, presumably Zhang Ci and Jing Liang would not give up a good opportunity to fight against fate.
Looks like we're going to make a trip north. Chen Qiuniang originally had no direction when she came down the mountain, but now she suddenly became enlightened. She's going to the north, to prepare for the day when she'll officially declare war on a terrible fate. (To be continued) R466
