Chapter 317: Something Happened in Kyoto
Xiao Ding and the others suffered heavy rain in Sanshan Town, and after resting for a long time, the sky was clear, so they continued to hurry. After walking for a few days, I came to the edge of the Yangtze River.
At this time, it was already evening, and everyone walked into Jiangbei Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Xiao Ding sat on his horse and looked across the Yangtze River. After he practiced the Heavenly Eye, his eyesight was excellent.
Although separated by the vast river, Xiao Ding still saw the rows of camps and battle flags outside Zhongzhou City on the other side. Xiao Ding couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, when did so many soldiers and horses be stationed outside the city of Zhongzhou?
A few years ago, he followed Gao Wanjun's forbidden army and was stationed outside Zhongzhou City, but it was only 20,000 people. Moreover, at that time, the camp of the forbidden army was still some distance away from Zhongzhou City, and it was not stationed outside the city.
And looking at it in front of him, Xiao Ding estimated that at this time, the soldiers and horses outside Zhongzhou City were not as good as 100,000, and it was not much worse, could it be that something happened in Zhongzhou City? Otherwise, why would so many soldiers and horses be transferred?
Xiao Ding couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to take everyone to find an inn to stay for the time being. At this time, it was getting late, and the big boats crossing the river had stopped ferrying, so they could only wait for tomorrow. Everyone once again lived in the inn called "Jiangbei Family" where Xiao Ding once lived.
The guy was still enthusiastic and smiling at everyone. This Jiangbei Town is a traffic artery, and there are many mobile merchants in the town, so there are not many empty rooms in the inn, so many disciples of Yuqingmen are all squeezed into one room.
Xiao Ding also lived in the same room with Sun Dasheng and Fan Sanfat.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everyone crossed the river by big boat.
The ships of this era were mainly sailboats, but today there is no wind on the river, and the sails are not very effective, so the boatmen have to add manpower. Even so, the ship was moving very slowly.
It was almost noon when the big ship slowly approached the south bank. Xiao Ding and the others went ashore, and then headed towards Zhongzhou City.
When he came to the outside of the city, Xiao Ding had already seen clearly that the barracks stationed outside the city had the banners written on them were the banners of the township soldiers from all over the Great Song Kingdom. Among them are the Jizhou soldiers, Jinzhou soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers who met on the road a few days ago.
Xiao Ding glanced at those camps and saw that these soldiers had to have eighty or ninety thousand, if not 100,000.
He still couldn't guess why so many soldiers and horses were stationed outside Zhongzhou City.
Everyone went all the way into the city, and when they were at the gate of the city, there were guards who were strictly inspecting. Especially the strict investigation of the Jianghu people.
Xiao Ding saw that the guard was chattering and asking, but he refused to let him go, so he told his identity as General Pingxi. This time it really worked, the guard didn't say a word, and apologized to Xiao Ding again and again, and let Xiao Ding and the others enter the city.
Xiao Ding couldn't understand why the city defenders would be so strict, so he took everyone back to the general's mansion in a daze.
Unexpectedly, there were guests in the general's mansion in the past few days, and they were all acquaintances that Xiao Ding knew.
As soon as Xiao Ding came to the gate of the mansion, the guards at the door recognized Xiao Ding, they were the subordinates who King Mu helped buy, so they naturally knew Xiao Ding. Then hurriedly went in to report to Steward Xia, this Steward Xia was the deputy butler of King Mu's Mansion before, and was later asked by Xiao Ding to go to his own mansion to help take care of the General's Mansion.
Steward Xia heard that Xiao Ding was back, so he hurriedly brought someone out to greet him. Going out to greet Xiao Ding with Steward Xia were Mei Qiuyang, the owner of Meijian Mountain Villa, and his twin daughters Mei Ruoshuang and Mei Ruoxue sisters, Master Xuanku of the King Kong Gate, Bai Qianbei of the Cangyu Sect and his disciples.
Xiao Ding was very happy to see so many acquaintances at once.
Everyone greeted each other and walked into the hall of the General's Mansion together.
When everyone was seated, the servants helped bring tea. Only then did everyone begin to say goodbye to each other.
When Xiao Ding asked if they had been intercepted and killed by the Tianluo Sect when they passed through Sanshan Town, everyone's faces became solemn.
"Amitabha!" Master Xuanku took the lead in reciting the Buddha's name, and then continued: "As Lord Tian said, when our people from Vajra Gate walked to that place between the two mountains, they were also intercepted, but we were lucky, not long after the fight, the army came from behind, it was the soldiers and horses of Jizhou who rushed over, and those bandits and Tianluomen people all retreated when they saw the troops of the Great Song Dynasty, so we also followed those troops and entered Sanshan Town. So there were no casualties in our door. ”
After Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart that this King Kong Gate was indeed lucky.
"Our Meijian Villa also has a similar experience to Master Xuanku, we were also fighting with those bandits, and suddenly an army came from behind, it was the soldiers and horses of Jinju, so the bandits retreated, and we entered Sanshan Town without any casualties." Mei Qiuyang also said on the side.
Xiao Ding nodded, and said in his heart, Meijian Villa can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe.
"Our Cangyu Sect didn't encounter an army, but when we fought with those bandits, there were three martial arts fellow martial artists from the Iron Sword Gate, the Tianwu Sect and the Lan Bing Sect. When the bandits saw that we had helpers, they all quickly retreated and ran away. Except for two disciples of our sect who were slightly injured, there were no other casualties. Bai Qianbei also recounted his experience.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart, it seems that the sects mentioned by Bai Qianbei just now must have come over safely this time. Only the Silver Moon Dart Game was more unlucky, and when he arrived, it was already too late, and they were almost wiped out.
Since they all came to Zhongzhou safely, Xiao Ding was relieved, he knew that these people were because he had told them that he had a general's mansion in Zhongzhou City before, so they inquired and found them.
However, Xiao Ding is still more worried about other acquaintances, such as Jinxiufang in Yangzhou, Tangmen in Shuzhou, and Miyunzong in Jingzhou. I don't know if they will be intercepted and killed by Tianluo Gate on the way.
However, worry is worry, and even if he is worried now, there is nothing he can do. Seeing that it was close to noon at this time, Xiao Ding hurriedly asked Steward Xia to arrange a banquet, and he planned to have a few drinks with everyone at noon.
After Steward Xia obeyed the order, he turned around and went out to make arrangements.
It didn't take long for the gatekeeper to come to report, saying that King Mu Chitose heard that Xiao Ding had returned and came to visit. Xiao Ding hurriedly led everyone out to greet them.
After all, this Mu King Song Yinzi is the identity of the prince, and Xiao Ding also regards him as the biggest financier, he has a bottle of white Lieyang Pill in his bag, and he has long planned to sell it to this Mu King Song Yinzi at a high price, he can't let his name of giving silver to nothing, and if he doesn't let him send more silver to himself, wouldn't it be in vain for him to give this name!
So how dare Xiao Ding offend his own money owner, and make a fortune depends on him, but you must coax him to be happy!
As soon as Song Yinzi saw Xiao Ding, he immediately ran up, ignoring that there were other people in front of him, so he shouted loudly: "Brother Tian, Brother General, do you know that these days when you are away, something big has happened in Kyoto!" ”
Xiao Ding was shocked and said in his heart, what happened in Kyoto?
