Chapter 136: Old Things

The river breeze was blowing, and when the morning sun rose, the fog had become like a veil.

Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage got on a boat docked at the pier to go to Linjiang, and in the room on the third floor, Fu Xiaoguan met Bai Yulian again.

In addition to Su Mo and Chunxiu, Su Mo's senior brother Su Jue and third senior sister Su Rou came up with Fu Xiaoguan.

Su Jue was about forty years old, wearing a crown hat, a cyan robe, and an unsheathed wooden sword on his back. He had a square face, with two straight eyebrows and straight eyes, and even the short beard on his chin was extremely well-trimmed.

When Fu Xiaoguan first met Su Jue, the impression at that glance was two words: upright!

The short days that followed made him understand what the word upright meant.

The crown hat will definitely not deviate in the slightest, the sitting posture is impeccable, even if it is walking or eating, his every move is extremely upright, but Su Jue said that this is not a decency, but - rules! The rules are sincere, don't bully Fang Yuan! This made Fu Xiaoguan look up to him.

Such a well-behaved person, Fu Xiaoguan, who has been a person in two lifetimes, has never seen it.

And Su Rou is about thirty years old, and her appearance is very ordinary, if you have to say a feature, it is that her eyes are very thin, and she seems to be squinting at any time - but she is really not sleeping, she occasionally reads books, and more often she embroiders quietly.

Su Rou's temperament seems to be the same as her name, she looks very gentle and quiet, but Su Mo told Fu Xiaoguan that these three senior sisters are not what they see on the surface.

Embroidery is a task given to the third senior sister by the master, and it is said that the third senior sister has been embroidering flowers for twenty years. And the reason made Fu Xiaoguan extremely surprised - Su Mo said that if the third senior sister hadn't been forced by the master to embroider since she was a child, I was afraid that the Dongshan Taoist Temple would be demolished by her!

Fu Xiaoguan thought of a word: ADHD, maybe this Su Rou is, but I haven't seen how she is hyperactive.

Bai Yulian had already gotten up, and he saluted Su Jue in a proper manner, and Su Jue really returned the salute properly.

Bai Yulian saluted Su Rou again, but Su Rou only widened slightly, and her thin eyes looked at Bai Yulian, "Oh, Xiaolian has grown so big?" ”

Bai Yulian was suddenly embarrassed and smiled, "Sister Rou's embroidered mandarin duck is getting better and better." ”

"Of course, if you have a woman you like, my sister will embroider a pair for you."

Su Jue sat upright and said to Su Rou: "Third Senior Sister, speak carefully. ”

Su Rou pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, and sure enough, she didn't say another word, and continued to embroider her mandarin ducks.

Fu Xiaoguan became more and more surprised by this courtyard, who are the people in this courtyard?

Su Mo eats and chews each bite thirty-three times, Su Jue is so regular at all times, and this Su Rou doesn't seem to have the slightest rules, so what about Su Mo's other junior brothers?

Of course, at this moment, Fu Xiaoguan did not ask Su Mo this question, but asked Bai Yulian: "Where did you go?" ”

Bai Yulian took a sip of the wine naan, and said with a smile: "When I went to the east, when I left, many brothers also wanted to go with me, but at that time, I didn't have a place myself, so I let them stay in the eastern border army first. Until I met you at the West Mountain Courtyard, I thought I could bring them over, are you okay? ”

"Of course it's good, it's just ...... Can they leave the border army in order? ”

"They are all soldiers under the command of General Qin and Qin, since General Qin died, these people also include me, they are dead to the eastern border army, I left that year, they have become veteran oil, the new general didn't like it, I went to them and handed over a joint retirement application, the new general immediately agreed, the new general seems to be called Fei Wu, it is said that he is a person from the Fei family in Beijing, a straw bag, how can he know how to fight. Fortunately, the east has been stable all these years, otherwise the entire eastern border army would be vulnerable! ”

Fu Xiaoguan remembered what Dong Xiude had talked to him about when he was in Beijing, the current commander of the Eastern Frontier Army was Yan Haochu, the third son of Yan Beixi, and Dong Xiude said twice at that time, saying that this particular civilian official became the generalissimo of the Eastern Frontier Army, and his tone was quite disdainful.

However, this is a matter for the emperor and the Ministry of War, and Fu Xiaoguan doesn't care about it.

"It won't take you that long to run over there, right?"

"Some of them have retired, and I thought they would live well or at least get by......"

Bai Yulian took another sip of wine and let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect them to have a good time, they were the main force of the light cavalry regiment of the Eastern Border Army back then, when we fought our way out of the siege from the more than 10,000 Red Feather Legions of Yiguo in Ximayuan, and escaped by killing three thousand enemies." But that night, when we were repairing on the border of Yu, General Qin was shot by a stray arrow - it was the arrow feather of the Red Feather Legion, and we thought that General Qin had died at the hands of the enemy, but now I know that General Qin was killed by his own people. ”

"When they retired, they were not able to get the land and silver that they should have been distributed because the battle of Saimahara was characterized as a great defeat, so they were not able to get the land and silver that should have been distributed after retirement. has been a soldier all his life, and in the end, he can only do some coolies and barely make ends meet, so ...... I went to look for them one by one according to the original roster, which delayed a lot of time. ”

Fu Xiaoguan frowned, this is different from what Dong Xiude said, but obviously what Bai Yulian said is accurate, after all, Dong Xiude heard the version that was circulating in the market.

"Who killed Qin Tong?"

"Wu Dynasty, Beiwangchuan!"

This time, it was not only Fu Xiaoguan who was surprised, but also Su Mo and Su Jue were stunned for a moment, and Su Rou even stopped the embroidery needle in her hand.

Beiwangchuan, one of the six martial saints of the rivers and lakes, ran to the border of the eastern border army and shot a captain Qin Tong with an arrow, which sounds very unreliable, after all, the identity difference is huge, and what reason does this Beiwangchuan have to kill him?

"For the sake of a bow, Beiwangchuan can't refuse this bow!"

"Could it be the Sunbreaker Bow made by the former Dynasty Divine Craftsman?" Su Mo asked.

Bai Yulian nodded, "Beiwangchuan entered the sainthood with an unrivaled archery skill, but in the past, he was defeated by the sword of the head of the Sword Forest, according to the master, Lu Xiaofeng, the head of the Sword Forest in that battle, finally cut off the bow of Beiwangchuan with the Biluo Sword, and Beiwangchuan was defeated because of this. Zhu Xi, a god craftsman of the previous dynasty, built seven weapons in his life, and Biluo Sword is one of them. ”

"So, who used this bow to ask for the North Wangchuan?"

"Shangjing Fei's family, Fei's old lady."

"Is there any evidence?"

Bai Yulian shook her head.
