Chapter 2 Fighting in the open and in the dark

Infighting

It is said that after Lan Jun and his entourage settled down in Taoyuan, Dugu Zhen knew that this Mr. Zhu was a master of the rivers and lakes, and the people around him who took care of their daily lives must have been waiting for a long time, so they did not arrange the miscellaneous servants to be used by him, so they and Yu Wenruo sat down for a while and then went back to their homes to say hello.

Besides, after the Duke of Changcheng returned to the house, he immediately changed his clothes and went to the Mansion of the Jin Kingdom to see his father Tsukazai, and arranged for Master He to write a book of "Detailed List of Experiences in Jingzhou", ready to present it to the emperor tomorrow.

The second son of the mound has already been established in the near future, and he was canonized as the prince of Changcheng, and opened another mansion in the imperial city, so he got the Duke of Jin.

After arriving at the house to see his father, Jin Guogong didn't ask much, and seemed to know that it was useless to ask too much, so he asked if the trip was smooth? The body is fine, whether there is any trouble and other words of concern, for Jingzhou's governance, people's livelihood, climate, human feelings, etc. He also asked him to write an excerpt and present it to His Majesty tomorrow morning, and asked him to go and greet his mother.

The second son saw that his father seemed to be a little sleepy, so he asked to retire and go to his mother Yuan's place. Yuan was the second wife of Gongyu Wenhu of the Jin Kingdom, born in the Great Wei royal family of the former dynasty, and Yuan Xin, one of the six great generals of the Zhu State of the dynasty, was his cousin. Since childhood, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking and embroidery, everything is taught by famous teachers. Later, she became a pretty woman. is not only a royal family, but also talented and beautiful, and when he looked at the moon in the boudoir, the king and nobleman who came to the door to ask for relatives stepped through the threshold. At that time, Emperor Wei personally decreed marriage in order to show favor to Yuwentai, who was in power to the government and the opposition, and the Yuan family married Yuwentai's nephew Yuwenhu at the age of 19 to become Qin and Jin.

It is said that the Yuan family is also aggrieved, the body of the royal family, condescending to marry Yuwen Hu, and for his second wife, he succumbed to the Dugu clan in the main room.

Later, Yuan Wei was replaced by Yuwen Zhou, and the royal family of the maiden family became the royal family of the in-law family, which seemed to have changed little, but after all, there was no one in the mother's family to support him, and the confidence to speak and do things was slightly insufficient. Later, she gave birth to her son Yuwen Shen, who was still quite angry and was named the Duke of Changcheng, so the mother was more expensive than her son, and for many years, she relied on Yuwen to protect her favor, and she has been intriguing with Mrs. Dugu in the main room, and secretly worked hard.

Even if Mrs. Dugu is the main family and gives birth to her eldest son, Yu Wenxun, and is made the son, the mother and son of the Yuan family are also pressing and chasing after each other. Why? Now no one in the world of the Great Zhou does not know what this world means. The Son of Heaven is weak and has no right to govern, and the government protects itself. The position of the prince of the Jin Kingdom, who is in power and opposition, can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand. Maybe it won't be that one person in the future, how can the Yuan mother and son give up?

After the second son, Yu Wenshen, came out of his father, he went straight to his mother's Tonglu Garden. The Yuan family had already found out that her second son was coming today a few days ago, and she was already waiting in the front hall, and the girl Bihe, who was guarding the door, saw Yu Wenshen coming, and reported while running: "Madam, the son is here, the son is here!" ”

When Yuan saw Yuwenshen coming in, he was overjoyed and hurriedly walked a few steps forward, Yuwenshen saw his mother, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye: "After a few months of parting, is my mother okay?" ”

Yuan Shi helped his son up and said, "My son is hard, please get up quickly, come, sit here, let me take a good look, have you suffered?" ”

Yu Wenshen was pulled to the table by the Yuan family and sat down, and his son's favorite snacks, fruits and wine were already placed on the table. Yuan Shi took his son's hand, looked at his son's face, and said: "The winter is long, the foreign country is bitterly cold, my son has been dusty all the way, it has been a lot darker, and he has lost a lot of weight. Try your favorite walnut crisp. ”

"The child has been on the order to tour Jingzhou for several months, and he can't even be with his mother for the New Year, and he is tired of his mother's thoughts, which is really unfilial." Yu Wenshen bowed his head and said.

"Where do I speak?" Yuan picked out a piece of the largest walnut cake from the plate, and said while giving it to his son: "Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to swim." My son is under the orders of the emperor. He was also ordered by his father to serve his family and country, and he was loyal and filial. ”

Yu Wenshen took the walnut cake with both hands, and was about to say something, but Yuan Shi grabbed his right hand, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, and saw a long, but already seen scar on his right forearm, and exclaimed: "What's wrong?" How did it hurt, did it hurt? ”

Yu Wenshen withdrew his arm, covered it with his sleeve, and said lightly: "The injury is no longer a big problem, mother don't worry, who else can be a thief along the way, with open guns and hidden arrows?" It's good that my life is big, otherwise, huh! Is it really cheaper for others? ”

"What? How dare Yu Wenxun be so cruel? It's just bold, and it's not as good as a beast! Yuan was furious.

"Mother doesn't have to be angry, it's just some little thieves around the son, can't the child even deal with them? Yu Wenshen played with the wine glass in his hand and remembered the sword light and sword shadow along the way.

Originally from beating him out of the door, Shizi Yu Wenxun sent a master all the way to plot, poisoning, scuttling the boat, and putting cold arrows all the way through, fortunately he was careful all the way, and the entourage protected well, so he survived, the injury on the arm was the most thrilling one, when he was in the middle of the river by boat, a dry water ghost chiseled through the bottom of the boat, and all the people in a boat fell into the water, and the entourage had a few people who knew how to save him ashore, but he encountered a water bandit waiting in the woods on the shore, and when he fled for his life in a hurry, he was struck by a lancet, fortunately, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he also knew some martial arts, reacted quickly, and blocked it with his arm, otherwise, his own brother would have been smiling secretly.

Thinking of this, he was also secretly ruthless, he must trample the son under his feet in the future!

"What's going on over there?" Yuwen diverted the topic.

The Yuan clan was shocked and angry just now, and after a while, he said slowly: "What can be the movement, spending all day and night, and bringing a maiko from Fan Market Street back to the house, was bumped into by Yun Yao, knocked over the vinegar jar, quarreled all night, and then spread out, and was severely taught by your father, as for the rest, their mother and son are quite peaceful, maybe I didn't notice it." ”

Yuwen sneered and said, "I'm happy to see him like this, it's good." ”

"I went out this time, and there was a great transformation." Yuwen Shen Zheng color road.

"Creation?" Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, Great Creation!" Yuwen paused, took a sip of wine, and said: "Although this trip is thrilling, but the harvest is huge, the sky really wishes me!" If you can achieve this creation, great things can be accomplished! ”

"Oh? What is it? Makes you so excited? Yuan asked again.

"The children's trip is not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to visit Jingxiang celebrities, make friends with them, and benefit a lot. Not only that, but the child also heard a witty saying that spread half of the Great Zhou. ”

"Punchline?" Yuan's face was full of doubts.

"Yes, Bihe, get the pen and paper!" Yu Wenshen commanded.

Bihe hurriedly took a pen and paper, and then quietly retreated. Normally, the lady and the son are talking, and they can't sit in on it.

Yu Wenshen wrote on the paper: "The world is changing, and the bamboo forest sits and watches the lanterns." A few words, and then handed them to his mother.

Yuanshi is also a person who is good at articles, so he took the word by word, thought for a moment, then turned around and said: "This poem is nothing, literally, it should be a hermit master who is not in the red dust, living in the bamboo forest, laughing at the ups and downs of the world, right?" ”

Yuwen Shen listened to his mother's explanation, and couldn't help laughing, Yuan Shi saw this, and scolded with a smile: "Bold, dare to make fun of your mother, what kind of allusion is this, tell me quickly!" ”

"The child doesn't dare, it's just that the mother has lived in this palace for a long time, and she doesn't know much about folk affairs and the news of the rivers and lakes. This poem is not talking about a master, but about a gang, a mysterious gang that claims to know everything and knows everything. Yu Wenshen explained.

"What's the mystery?" asked Yuan.

"This gang is called the Lantern Club, and it is a well-thought-out organization that specializes in finding out information, discerning everything, plotting and solving doubts, operating all kinds of heroes, and entering and exiting the official mansion of the Hou Mansion." Yu Wenshen added.

"It's not difficult to inquire about the news, but this is a strong business, and it is inevitable that he will be a little louder when he enters and leaves the official residence." Yuan asked with suspicion.

"It's not a lie, it's not a lie, this gang is mysterious and unpredictable, powerful and well-organized. Whether it is a celebrity in Jingzhou or a local official, they all know about this gang, and they all respect this gang. The child also tried it by example, but ......" Yu Wenshen said here, and suddenly stopped.

It turned out that after the second son of Yuwen arrived in Jingzhou, Ruan Hong, the assassin of Jingzhou, told him about a gang, which might be used by the son. Ruan Hong was the second son's very early confidant, the former assassin Shi Wanxiang was dismissed and imprisoned for corruption, and the second son recommended Ruan Hong to his father, that is, the current dynasty Otsuka Zai, Jin State Gongyu Wenhu to succeed Ruan Hong as the assassin Shi. This can make Shizi Yu Wenxun vomit blood, because Wan Xiang was originally his person, but the other party was steady and ruthless, and there was no room for salvation, so he had to give up without saving him, so he had to watch such a big piece of gold pimple in Jingzhou Thorn Shi fall into the hands of the second child.

After Ruan Hong took office, he was even more grateful to the second son, and at the same time told the second son in detail how to use the lantern to spy on the evidence of his predecessor Wan Xiang's corruption, hoping that his master would take the lead in the fight with the prince. Yuwen was as if he had obtained a treasure, and he was eager to go to Yizhou in person to see and understand, but he had no choice but to go west and inspect it, and make friends with various celebrities and predecessors in Jingzhou along the way. In the midst of their conversations, the sages were full of praise for the lanterns. Duyun's gang walks the rules of the rivers and lakes, eliminates violence and peace, does good things about building bridges and roads, and accepts good people with both ability and political integrity, full of talents, heroes, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Especially the bamboo gang leader, talking with him, it seems that there is a great talent of Longzhong Wolong, looking at his affairs, there are also unpredictable gods and ghosts in the ghost valley.

The more Yu Wenshen walked, the more frightened he became, the more he felt that the lantern would be powerful, and at the same time, he became more and more interested in the bamboo gang leader, feeling that he had to understand and approach this person, if he was included in his command, then the road to the dragon in the future would definitely be a big help!

Although I stopped and stopped all the way, I was anxious. After only two months in Jingzhou, he hastily coped with his errands, rode a fast horse to the west, and went straight to Yizhou.

I didn't expect that the Lantern Society would have such a big influence in Jingzhou, but the base camp was in Yizhou. When they came, they had already discovered that the Lantern Guild Hall was located in the Cangshan and Bamboo Seas of Yunchuan in the west of Yizhou, so the group hurried to prepare.

The temple is so high that you can't see the hills and ravines;

Far away from the rivers and lakes: Have you ever been to the edge of the bitter sea?
