Chapter 145: The Beggars' Helm
According to the usual practice, the nine academies participating in the Wenhua Club will be arranged in the backyard of the Chongwen Hall, also known as the "Zhilan Qingyuan".
Since the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, from the martial arts to the literature, attaches great importance to education, so the Chongwen Museum covers a large area, and the buildings in the backyard 'Zhilan Qingyuan' are independent courtyards, creating a unique style, clean and elegant.
Now, because of the incident in Tiger Hill, Zhilan Qingyuan has strengthened the guard of the forbidden army. What is puzzling is that according to the previous practice, guarding Zhilan Qingyuan should be the military guard of the Southern Ya, but this time it is the Long Wujun of the Northern Ya.
At the same time, the Tianji Battalion also sent a master to sit in Zhilan Qingyuan to ensure that the people of the academy participating in the competition would not be harmed in any way.
According to the previous sessions, Zhilan Qingyuan is particularly lively. But today, due to the strict inspection of the forbidden army outside the door, there are not many people coming and going.
The courtyard where Chu Yi is located is called 'Huaiqiu'. Because Yuhuan was kidnapped, everyone's mood was very dripping, especially Dai Yu, who cried like a tearful person, hiding in the room and refusing to come out.
In desperation, Chu Yi had no choice but to go over to comfort him.
Walking to Dai Yu's door, Chu Yi thought about it and knocked on the door.
"Are you there?"
When Dai Yu heard that it was his son-in-law's voice, he hurriedly wiped his tears, hurriedly ran to open the door, and lowered his head, for fear that he would see his crying and swollen eyes.
"Childe. ”
Chu Yi smiled slightly, "Don't you invite me in to sit?"
Dai Yu panicked in his heart, hurriedly made his debut, and said in a low voice: "Son, please sit down." Immediately, he hurriedly went to pour the tea, and found that the teapot was empty, which was quite embarrassing.
Chu Yi smiled and said, "You sit down first." ”
Dai Yu sat down gently, but still didn't want to look up.
Chu Yi didn't force her, and comforted her softly: "Your sister Yuhuan was robbed, we are all sad, but endless sadness will not help. I can tell you for sure, though, that she won't be in danger. ”
When Dai Yu heard this, he raised his head, his swollen eyes were still full of tears, and he asked with concern: "Childe, are you sure my sister will be fine?"
Chu Yi nodded and said, "When did I lie to you." However, if you want to find your sister Yuhuan as soon as possible, from now on, you have to start practicing. Because, it was not an ordinary person who robbed your sister Yuhuan, but a profound Xuanmen monk. ”
Chu Yi didn't tell her the truth that it was the people of the Demon Gate who robbed the jade ring. Sometimes, it is also for the good of the other party to cover up with kindness, after all, the truth is always cruel.
Dai Yu was stunned for a moment, and a voice suddenly came to mind in his head: Why are you so stupid. When you become a monk, you can go to Sister Yuhuan.
At this time, Dai Yu Huo Ran was cheerful, instead of being heartbroken every day, it was better to turn grief and anger into strength, practice hard, and when he became a monk like his master, he could protect Sister Yuhuan and everyone in Yanling Academy.
Dai Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears and said with a serious expression: "Childe, I have figured it out, I will practice hard and become a monk like Master as soon as possible." In this way, you can find Sister Yuhuan as soon as possible. ”
Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "It's best if you can think like this." Let's go out for a bite to eat now. ”
Dai Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, I'll cultivate the cultivation caliber passed down to me by my master now." Childe, you can eat first, you don't have to wait for me. ”
With that, Dai Yu got up, took off his shoes and went to bed, followed the master's meditation style, and began to practice with his eyes closed.
Chu Yi smiled bitterly a few times, and secretly said that this girl really walked from one end to the other, but it was much better than crying.
Only when they are strong can he feel comfortable doing what he wants to do.
Chu Yi got up, walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned to look at her and said, "If there is anything unclear in your cultivation, you can ask your Uncle Jing." ”
After speaking, Chu Yi left and closed the door with his hand.
Jing Wuming was standing not far away, as if waiting for him.
"Dai Yu's cultivation qualifications are good, if he is really ascetic, he is no worse than the disciples of those big sects. Jing Wuming said proudly.
Chu Yi smiled proudly: "The students who went out of our Yanling Academy are not bad. ”
Jing Wuming smiled: "That's a childe who has a good education. ”
Chu Yitian said shamelessly: "Old Jing, if you say this again, I will be proud." ”
Jing Wuming stopped joking and said with a serious expression: "Before going to Qingyang, I had already asked Lin Xiao to come to Kyoto in advance to prepare. Tonight, do you want to go to the helmsman of the beggar gang?"
Chu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "According to the rules of the spy house, all the news in Kyoto is the responsibility of the helmsman, and if we don't get through this link, we will be like deaf." Besides, I, the elder of the spy mansion, should also meet the helper. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go to the beggar gang helmsman in the evening. ”
Because the whereabouts of Yuhuan are unknown, everyone in the academy is still relatively depressed. After dinner, Wen Tingkai and Xu Bo went back to their rooms to read.
In the dining room, only Chu Yi, Jing Wuming, and Xu Zhong were left.
"You stay here at night, make sure you keep them safe. I'll go with Brother Jing to the helm of the beggar gang, and I'll definitely come back before dawn. ”
Xu Zhong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Childe." However, the son and Uncle Jing must also be careful on this trip. ”
Jing Wuming smiled and said, "Don't worry." This is the inner city of Kyoto, and there will be no Tiger Hill like that. ”
Chu Yi and Jing Wuming left Zhilan Qingyuan and walked towards the road on the right.
Not long after they left, two men quietly followed.
Chu Yi looked at the architectural scenery on the side of the road while walking, and said with emotion: "This Kyoto building is more magnificent than Qingyang and Luochuan, and even this official road is so wide. ”
"This Kyoto city has been around for more than 500 years, and it has long been a matter of things and people, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. ”
Chu Yi was curious: "Brother Jing is here for the first time?"
Jing Wuming shook his head and said, "Hongchen travels, Kyoto will come." If you count this time, there must have been four or five times. ”
"Brother Jing still knows, which restaurant in Kyoto has the most delicious wine and food, and which painting girl is the most talented?" Chu Yi asked with a smile.
Jing Wuming was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "You ask me, I really don't know." But when you come back from there, if you want to know which girl is wearing what color, they can ask you. ”
Chu Yi grinned and quipped, "Lao Jing, I suddenly found out that you are so obscene." ”
"People are not adulterous teenagers. It's a pity that after walking out of half of his life, he is no longer a teenager when he returns. Jing Wuming couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone has their own story, and Jing Wuming is no exception.
Chu Yi didn't remember where he had seen such a sentence, a person's stomach is the best wine vat in the world. The story of the deceased is the best puree. Add that bitter gall, and then mix the joys and sorrows, you can brew the best wine, and the taste is endless.
"People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together. Thinking of this, Chu Yi couldn't help but say the classic words.
Jing Wuming looked surprised, and couldn't help but praise: "The son has talent in his belly, but he can soar into the sky, and he is really a genius who has not been born for a thousand years." ”
Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lao Jing, you are thick-skinned enough, your face is not red and your heart is not beating when you speak." ”
As the two spoke, they faded into the eyes and ears of the eyeliner behind them.
At first glance, there are no less than three people behind him.
According to the direction provided by Lin Xiao, Chu Yi and Jing Wuming came to a relatively remote house.
Pushing the door in, a figure flashed out, it was Lin Xiao, who had not been seen for many days.
Lin Xiao clenched his fists and said respectfully: "My subordinates have seen Gongzi and the military advisor. ”
When Chu Yi heard the 'military advisor', he looked at Jing Wuming and smiled: "When did you become a dog-headed military advisor?"
Jing Wuming said with a smile: "The mouth grows on them, I can't block their mouths." ”
Lin Xiao smiled implicitly, then looked at his son-in-law, and said happily: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally gave my son-in-law here." ”
Chu Yi was also very happy to see Lin Xiao: "This is all the credit of our military advisors. ”
Jing Wuming didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he asked Lin Xiao, "How is the situation over there?"
Lin Xiao replied: "Gang Leader Qiao is now at the helm. If Childe comes two days late, he may not be able to see him. ”
Chu Yi said: "Then we came at the right time." ”
Chu Yi always thought that the helmsman of the beggar gang should be in a ruined temple or a remote mountain villa, and he never thought that he would be in the most prosperous commercial center of Kyoto, in a big wine shop called 'Drunken Three Thousand'.
Drunk 3000 has a front yard and a back yard, and the front yard is a street frontage, where wholesale drinks are placed. The backyard is quieter and more spacious and bright.
Being able to own such a large area of housing in a place where land is at a premium in Kyoto shows that the beggars are very wealthy.
The current leader of the beggar gang is named Qiao Yizhou, a master of martial arts, who is a good person, has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and is known as "a boat crossing, Qiao Li is the head of the tide".
