Chapter 11 Where to go
Almost mid-June, Jiangnan has also entered the changeable season of sunny and rainy weather, sometimes tomorrow is still dangling in the sky, and the sudden heavy rain will fall down, as if deliberately in order to make pedestrians unprepared and frightened.;.23+wx. At this moment, Jiang Cai, who was riding a horse and running slowly on the official road outside the city, was hit, because he entered the city on business, he was not wearing armor, and he was drenched in a martial arts uniform, how should this be good?
He had come from the barracks after receiving an order from the Privy Council, and all the brothers present congratulated him, saying that the reward must have come down. Although he was grateful on the surface, he was still looking forward to it in his heart, after all, as a martial artist who fought on the front line all year round, it was not his habitual way of life to spend time every day.
Jiang Cai looked back in the direction of the barracks, and then turned his head to look at the Qiantang Gate that was close at hand, and then returned to the camp to change clothes, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time, he doesn't want to lose time because of such a thing. But just like this, he went to see the prefect of the privy mansion, he looked down at the droplets of water falling from the corner of his clothes and frowned, this is an extremely rude act, maybe he will offend a certain official who takes etiquette and religion very seriously.
"Dutong, it's better for us to go over from Quqiao, Taishou lives in the inn near there, I went to the small one last time, and it won't delay much." A personal soldier pointed in the direction of the city and said, Jiang knew that he was talking about Liu Yu, and he hadn't seen him for many days since he came from the prisoner ceremony, so he nodded and asked the personal soldier to lead the way in front.
It's just that when they arrived at the inn where Liu Yu lived, they didn't see him, only Yang Xing was hiding there. What made Jiang Cai a little puzzled was that it seemed that this Counselor Yang seemed to be more anxious than himself who was wet in the rain, and when he asked someone to go to the room to get dry clothes, Jiang Cai asked the doubts in his heart.
"Don't hide it, Taishou hasn't appeared for a few days, and I don't know where he went, I just said that I would go back at the time, but how long has it been. Yesterday, there was news that the palace may summon the Taishou into the forbidden middle, and now he is so anxious that he can't sleep on the pillow, so I'm afraid that I will miss it when the time comes. ”
Listening to Yang Xingqian's words, Jiang Cai smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that this counselor is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, Liu Yu's behavior was not uncommon in Jiankang City at that time, I don't know how many times I can't find him, and it won't be long before he suddenly appears, and now let him say that he doesn't know the whereabouts of that kid at all, how can he help.
Seeing Jiang Cai's expression, Yang Xingqian certainly knew what he meant, to be honest, if it weren't for the possibility of being invited in the palace, he wouldn't be in a hurry like this. Even if it is a political hall in other places, it can be postponed for a few days if you find a reason, but the Queen Mother summons her, how can she be casually scorned? Although there is nothing on the face, I am already secretly complaining in my heart, even if you are always missing, let's discuss a unified voice first.
"Don't worry about praising paintings, your family is not a person who doesn't know anything, there must be something important this time, and most of them are rushing back now. There's an idea that's not an idea.,I don't know if the praise painting is willing to listen to it.。 Jiang Cai comforted him while thinking about how to drag him over, he was a veteran ruffian, and he knew a little about the deception and concealment.
"Dutong is his own family, don't be polite with someone, if you have something to say, please speak up, Yang is grateful." Yang Xingqian gave a salute and said, his eyes were a little chaotic, the so-called authorities were confused, maybe Jiang Cai, a bystander, had a more sober idea, and it didn't matter if he listened to it, of course he had to accept this feeling.
"Without him, little trick, since he is not here now, it is useless for you to wait here, and it is not good to ask and don't know how to answer, it is better for you and these people to leave this place, let the room be locked, and when they find it, they can only ask the people of the inn, then there is no responsibility for you, and naturally it is not to blame Taishou."
Only halfway through what he heard, Yang Xingqian suddenly realized, indeed, if they are here, no matter where they come from, they must give someone an explanation, and only if they can't find anyone can they shirk and deal with the past. As for Liu Yu coming back and not finding them, it doesn't matter, the two sides have walkie-talkies, and they can be connected when the time comes.
They also talked here, and it didn't take long for the pro-soldier who went upstairs to take a few martial artists' regular clothes, but fortunately, Jiang Cai's figure was very ordinary, not much different from them, so it was easy to find suitable clothes, although it may not be as expensive as his, it was better than **.
Jiang Cai didn't go to find a special place, and a few pro-soldiers blocked him on all sides, so he changed his clothes. In the end, it was still a little delayed, he didn't dare to be more polite, he said thank you and got on the horse and left with his own people, Yang Xingqian sent a few of them out of the street, looking at the direction where their backs disappeared, and he already had an idea in his heart.
"Clean up the room, take the things away as much as possible, don't leave the room, let's go out of the city." After a few simple commands, the soldiers began to get busy, their things were very simple, nothing more than a few clothes and the like, after a while, they were packed up, Yang Xing sneaked to the counter and said hello to the innkeeper, and then led them to the direction of the city gate.
"Counselor, where are we going? Don't you wait too much? The soldier carrying a large package asked curiously, and Yang Xingqian urged them to go faster, pointing to the front and smiling.
"Of course it's the West Lake, wouldn't it be in vain to come to this Lin'an Mansion and not go there for a walk." Although the soldiers didn't know what to visit in that lake, since they had fun to play, how could they not want to, they all showed happy expressions, and their steps were a little brisk.
Walking all the way along the direction of the royal road, Jiang Cai and the others were already approaching the cardinal's mansion, and at this moment, several people who had come from the opposite side aroused Jiang Cai's interest. They have seen that kind of dress, and they know at a glance that it is the internal history of the palace, and their way forward is exactly the direction in which Jiang Cai came, is it that he has a crow's mouth? Jiang Cai looked up at the sky, the sun was shining brightly, and he suddenly had a little bad premonition.
After checking the letter card, it was the one who went to Jiankang Mansion to take him into the mansion, although the two were not familiar with each other, after all, they had met a few times, but Jiang Cai saved money on the door. After a few polite words, he handed over his mount to the soldiers he brought, and he followed the man into the gate, and the bottom was a militaristic land, and as soon as he walked in, he felt a sense of murder coming to his face.
"You are Jiang Cai?" Although he had seen it with his own eyes at the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Chen Yizhong looked at the figure in front of him who was not tall, and his face was also very peaceful, but looking at the thick joints of his hands, with his eyesight, he only knew that he should be a practitioner, it seemed that he had taken off his armor and dismounted, that is, he was an ordinary person, which looked like the first general for the rest of his life.
"Jiang Cai, the deputy capital of Xiaguan Tongzhou, has only seen Xianggong." I didn't expect to see myself as a courtier, Chen Xianggong, who was also young in the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, Jiang Cai was a little nervous, but fortunately he immediately adjusted, he hugged his fists and gave a military salute, which made Chen Yizhong feel a little fresh.
"Sit down, there are a lot of things, I have time to call you today, wait for a hurry." Chen Yizhong said in a plain tone as much as possible, he saw that this person was a little nervous, but he gave birth to a little tolerance of the superiors, and casually pointed to a few rows of chairs in the hall, Chen Yizhong himself first found the first one to sit down, so as to avoid his embarrassment.
Sure enough, Jiang Cai saw that he was so easy, and he didn't have the domineering appearance of a high-grade Wenchen at all, and he felt a little good in his heart. Without refusal, he sat down at the bottom of his head, and in order to avoid speaking loudly from a distance, he sat only half of the seat, leaning his body forward.
"No formality, look at the resume you are from Jiangbei, do you feel uncomfortable when you come to Jiangnan? The sergeants below are still safe, I heard that you have been urging them to practice all day long, and never lightly go out of the camp, this is very good, there is the style of a general, no, no, no, you don't have to stand up, just talk like this, this is not old enough to hear clearly. ”
Chen Yizhong smiled and stopped Jiang Cai from standing up, his relaxed words made him feel like a twilight spring breeze, and he unconsciously relaxed and answered his question simply. There is also a faint fear in my heart, it seems that the city has actually been staring at his military camp, fortunately he has been cautious, otherwise it would be really difficult.
It's just that until now, Jiang Cai still doesn't quite understand, why should such a high-ranking and powerful minister be so polite to himself? After a few polite words, Chen Yizhong restrained his smile, and Jiang knew that he was almost to the point, so he quickly put away his body and made a posture of sitting upright.
"Presumably you also know what you called over, yes, it stands to reason that your promotion reward should have been drawn up a long time ago, but because of some changes, it has been delayed until now, this prime minister will ask you first, what do you think?" Chen Yizhong asked in a formal tone.
"So that the prime minister knows that the lower official is just a rough man, and he has been lucky enough to get some small merits, and he will not give up by the imperial court, and he will be rewarded with grace, and he will never dare to invite him wantonly, but if he is sent, the lower official will obey." Jiang Cai replied respectfully, this is the standard answer, no one can say no, Chen Yizhong seemed to have expected him to say this, and nodded slightly.
"You are a sincere person, and you don't hide your true appearance, I originally wanted to transfer you and all the cavalry troops to the front division of the palace or the guard horse military division, just like the commander Su under Li Shuai. However, you also know that the court is not the first person to have the final say, and some people think it is inappropriate, but fortunately, you are still young, and you can also achieve some credit if you go out to practice, and no one will dare to say anything about the dispatch at that time. ”
"But I don't know where, I still want to announce it." Jiang Cai didn't have much disappointment, he was transferred to the imperial camp to stay in this rich place, not only did he not want to, his subordinates probably had similar thoughts, he didn't have much foundation, and this Chen Xianggong didn't seem to want to accept his own intentions, so let it go out and be more free.
Seeing Jiang Cai looking at him with a worried face, Chen Yizhong did not answer him directly, but got up and walked to the desk in the lobby to pick up a document, returned and handed it over. Jiang Cai stood up and took it, thinking that it was his own employment document, but he didn't expect to open it and see that it was actually a military newspaper.
"There are people in this place who are in rebellion, and it has spread to several counties, and the thieves have plundered the township and harmed the place, which is the local government's request for help. Now that you have seen it, you might as well think about whether you are willing to go, you don't have to answer in a hurry, and discuss it with your subordinates when you go back, after all, your merits are unusual, and the court still has to listen to your own thoughts. ”
Jiang Cai's heart was a little confused, he didn't know if Chen Yizhong was pretending to be generous or really being able to let himself think about it, until he said goodbye and walked out of the gate of the cardinal mansion, he was still in a state of confusion. The pro-soldiers were surprised to see that their own capital had failed to step on it twice in a row, this is a mistake only recruits make, what is wrong with him?
"What do you say? There was no one in the room, where did they go. A little yellow door asked in a somewhat sharp voice, the shopkeeper who was a little frightened by them didn't dare to look at the eyes of these internal officials, stared at the floor of the ground and just shook his head, how did he know where those people went, Lin'an City is so big, in case of ridicule and astatine, Xie Yu visited the Gong Gong Locust to block the twilight
"Forget it, let's go back to the palace to restore our lives, this shopkeeper, if you see someone, you remember to tell them, the miscellaneous family will come tomorrow, let them be sure to wait here, this is the Empress Dowager's edict." The lieutenant at the head did not have much of an angry expression, he stopped the actions of his subordinates, left a few words, and left with the people.
The shopkeeper who escaped the catastrophe watched them go out in a daze, not knowing where those people came from, but there were people from the Queen Mother who came to invite them in person, and their attitude was so respectful. The shopkeeper is a little confused, he is not a good place here, why is he taken a fancy to it? R640
