Chapter 21 Goodbye Old Friend

As soon as the sky was hazy, Yang Muyun gathered all the people. Just yesterday, these people were another person's subordinates, and today they obeyed Yang Muyun's orders, this is the iron blood and discipline of the Jinyi Guard, they will only be responsible for the imperial power, and will not be loyal to individuals.

"Qi Zongqi, you take the people of the four small banners to inspect the area of Sanshanmen, and lock them according to the images drawn by the experience division."

"Yes, sir."

"Mr. Lu, you take the people of the four small banners to inspect the area around Tongjimen......

"Yes, sir."

"The rest, follow me to the Treasure Gate......"

Martial law was imposed in Nandu, and the streets were full of groups of officers and soldiers walking in a hurry. The assassination of the dignified Uncle Jing Yuan, the rank of secretary of the military department and the governor of the southwest military affairs, was not a trivial matter, and the officialdom of the entire southern capital was shaken. Horses and antlers were set up at each gate, and there were many more officers and soldiers than usual, all of them dressed in drapes and armed with swords and guns, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Nandu, Jubaomen.

"Stop, what are you doing out of town?" A man in a cherry helmet and armor asked, staring at a woman with a child.

"Official, the slave family came to visit relatives at their mother's house in the city yesterday, and they want to go back to their husband's house today."

"Bring me the portrait." A small colonel hurriedly unfolded a volume of wanted pictures and texts in front of the general.

That always swept away coldly. A few words burst out of his mouth: "Next ......"

Behind, the queue of people preparing to leave the city was long.

On the east side of the Jubao Gate is a two-story teahouse, Yang Muyun is dressed in casual clothes and sits at a table upstairs by the window, slowly drinking tea while staring closely at the long queue below. From time to time, some plainclothes lieutenants hurried up to report something in his ear, and he frowned as he listened, obviously there was no good news. A lieutenant said softly: "My lord, if those assassins want to escape from the city, they will definitely be disguised and modified, and I am afraid it will not be easy to capture them according to the pictures and texts." ”

"And what do you think?" Yang Muyun asked.

"If the Assassins in the prison stand here and identify them......"

"Good idea, then you go to the dungeon and stay with those assassins!" Yang Muyun interrupted him with a snort.

At this time, a coachman drove a horse-drawn cart towards Jubaomen, and the cart was pulling a dozen large barrels. The carriage went straight to the city gate.

"What is this for?" Yang Muyun asked.

"My lord, this is a swill."

"Swill?"

"My lord, there are a lot of teahouses and restaurants in Nandu, and a large amount of swill is produced every day, and it needs to be transported out of the city early the next morning."

"Let's go, go downstairs." Yang Muyun walked downstairs quickly.

"Let's go!" The gatekeeper always covered his nose and urged the swill to hurry over.

"Stop!" Yang Muyun came quickly with a few Jinyi Guard captains.

"Are you ......" Because Yang Muyun was not wearing an official uniform, the chief asked him with a glance.

Yang Muyun didn't talk nonsense, took out a silver waist card and raised it in front of the general manager: "Jinyiwei handles the case, stop for inspection." ”

The lid of each bucket of swill opened, and the smell was ...... The people around covered their noses.

Yang Muyun instructed: "You go up and take a knife and stab each bucket." ”

"Yes!" Several Jinyi Guard Captains jumped into the car, drew their knives and stabbed them into the barrels......

"My lord, there's no one in the bucket"

"My lord, I don't have one here."

......

At the end of the search, nothing unusual happened, and Yang Muyun left with his men.

"Official, I'm ......," the swill shuddered, asked the boss.

"Don't get out of here!" The general scolded fiercely, and then stared at Yang Muyun's back and snorted coldly: "A group of dogs around the eunuch, I --- it."

"What's unusual outside the city?" Yang Muyun asked the lieutenant beside him.

"Back to my lord, it's nothing else, it's just that a group of refugees came from outside the Ande Gate in the outer city this morning." One of the lieutenants replied.

"Refugees? Has there been a disaster anywhere around Nandu? ”

"I haven't heard of it yet."

"Strange, if you don't work in the fields during the spring ploughing season, how difficult is it to escape? Where are those refugees now? ”

"Back to my lord, the guards of Andemen stopped them from entering the city, and now they are outside Andemen."

"Are you gone?"

"I haven't left yet."

"Keep an eye on them, and report back immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes, sir."

"Huang Xiaoqi, Lu Xiaoqi, Meng Xiaoqi."

"Your Excellency." Three brocade guards wearing green splendid clothes came out in response.

"You lead your men to keep an eye on this place."

"Yes, sir."

"Duan Xiaoqi, you take someone to inspect the city with me."

"Yes, sir."

Yang Muyun and Duan Xiaoqi and a group of subordinates dressed in civilian clothes came to the area of Dagongfang, where the liveliness is not inferior to that of the Qinhuai River, although the southern capital has been under martial law, but the lives of many ordinary people have not been affected.

"Huh? Whose mansion is this, so magnificent! You see, the gatekeeper is dressed like the officers and soldiers of the city. ”

Yang Muyun looked up and down at this magnificent mansion with a tall archway and a pair of oversized stone lions at the door.

"My lord, this is the mansion of Wei Guogong, the first hero of the founding of the country, and the guards in front of his mansion are real officers and soldiers." Duan Xiaoqi hurriedly explained to him.

"Oh!" Yang Muyun was speechless, because he remembered Xu Tianqi.

Moving forward to a crossroads, the flow of people from the east, west, north and south converges here, and it is even more bustling.

"Dad, I want a sugar man." An eight- or nine-year-old kid tuggs at his father's shirt in front of the candy man's stall.

"Didn't I buy you one yesterday?" My father didn't agree.

"No, no, I'm going to ......" the kid didn't give up.

Yang Muyun's heart was hot, and his thoughts returned to his childhood, when he also pestered his father to ask for candy, and when his father didn't agree, his mother secretly bought it for him.

"Niu Niu, do you like this rattle?" Not far away, a woman was talking to a girl of eight or nine years old. They stood in front of a vendor selling rattles.

"Hmm!" The girl stared at the rattle and nodded heavily.

"Okay, boss, how much? Give my daughter one. ”

......

This intersection is crowded with people and vendors, many of whom sell children's toys. Adults with children pass by here and are always pestered by children to ask for this and that.

"My lord, after this intersection, there is Yingtianfu in front of you. Shall we go any further? ”

"No need, we won't join in the fun of their territory, let's go back the way we came."

"Yes, sir."

"Huh?" Yang Muyun only felt a small green shadow flash in front of him, how does this feel? So familiar.

Chasing the green shadow, it was a pair of green tiger head shoes moving, and these shoes were worn on a girl about ten years old. The girl was closely followed by a couple who wore a light moon dress, her hair was pulled into a bun, she was about 20 years old, and she was very dignified and beautiful. Next to her is a scholar in Tsing Yi, who is the same age as her, with an elegant appearance, but she is extremely thin, so she must be her husband. The three of them did not speak, but walked quickly through the intersection, and the girl did not even look at the toys that filled the street.

Yang Muyun's heart flashed, stared at the family of three, and said in a deep voice: "Follow up." ”

At this time, only a horse neighed was heard, and the crowd was in chaos, and someone shouted: "The horse is startled, the horse is startled." I saw a frightened horse-drawn carriage running rampant to this intersection, the stall was knocked over, and the pedestrians took refuge. The horse was pulling a car, the windows and doors were covered by draperies, and the driver did not know where to go.

Yang Muyun saw that it was in danger, jumped into the carriage when it rushed past him, jumped into the driver's seat of the carriage, grabbed the reins, pulled hard, and the horse's head was deflected, and ran towards a remote alley.

Yang Muyun had never driven a carriage, so he didn't dare to strangle it too tightly, but fortunately there were no pedestrians in the alley, and after running for a long time, the horse's speed slowed down, and he saw a wall in front of him from a distance. Yang Muyun's heart jumped to his throat, and his hand gradually strengthened, and Nama Herod hissed and stopped at the end of the alley.

Yang Muyun took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat on his head, jumped out of the carriage and lifted the sedan curtain, and said to the inside: "It's okay, come out quickly." A blue-clothed girl with a double bun on her head trembled out of the car, and when she saw that she was indeed safe, she shouted happily: "Miss, it's okay, it's okay," got into the car, and helped out a gorgeously dressed woman, the woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a snow-blue skirt, her complexion was extremely white, and her appearance was amazing.

"Miss, it was this boy who saved us." The girl in blue pointed at Yang Muyun.

"Thank you Childe for coming to the rescue." The young lady was deeply blessed by Yang Muyun, and her voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

"No, no, Miss doesn't have to be polite." Yang Muyun was a little in a hurry, and his words stammered.

At this time, Duan Xiaoqi led a group of captains to run over out of breath, and when he saw Yang Muyun talking to an extremely beautiful girl, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, you are finally safe." ”

"Your Excellency?" The young lady's beautiful eyes flashed a few times, and she was about to speak. Another person came running over with a snort and gasping, and shouted from a distance, "Girl, are you okay?" The person who came was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a brocade robe and jade belt, and was a noble son, the young lady's eyes lit up, and she stretched out a small hand as white as jade and shook it at him: "Brother, I'm here, I'm fine." ”

The boy in the brocade robe ran to his sister and stopped, and the young lady's eyes swept to Yang Muyun: "Brother, it was this son who saved me." The prince in the brocade robe bowed to Yang Muyun: "Thank you Gongzi for rescuing my sister, I'm Chen Chengfeng, ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Brother Chen, wait for us, don't run so fast!" A round-faced man in a purple robe ran from afar, followed by two people.

Yang Muyun looked at it, isn't this Song Ping? Who else could it be that Jiang Wenying and Zhang Tianhe were followed behind? Song Ping ran out of breath: "Brother Chen, you ran too fast, my brothers are almost exhausted." Chen Chengfeng smiled: "Don't you see that my sister is dangerous?" Fortunately, this son ......" Before he finished speaking, Song Ping was surprised: "Brother Yang, why are you?" Yang Muyun said helplessly: "Coincidentally, right? It's really fate with Brother Song. Jiang Wenying and Zhang Tianhe also ran over, and when they saw that it was Yang Muyun, they also opened their mouths in surprise.

"You know?" Chen Chengfeng looked at them in surprise.

"This is what I told you about Brother Yang Muyun Yang who went to the National Color Museum to paint the boat on your behalf that day, you don't know, ...... that day" Song Ping gushed endlessly as soon as he spoke. Zhang Tianhe interrupted: "Brother Song, this is not a place to talk. Song Ping slapped his head with a fan: "That's it, look at my mouth...... By the way, I forgot to introduce Brother Yang, this is Brother Chen Chengfeng Chen who you replaced to go to the painting boat that day, and this ----" Song Ping stretched his voice: "It is Miss Chen Siyu, the first beauty of the official family in Nandu." ”

Chen Siyu saw Song Ping pointing at him, his jade face was shy, and he said coquettishly: "Brother Song will talk nonsense." "Light anger and anger, more beautiful. Yang Muyun's heart moved, in terms of beauty, no one can compare to Miss Shisu, although this Miss Chen is slightly inferior to Miss Shisu, but she has a gentle and graceful moving style.

Song Ping came up and pulled Yang Muyun's sleeve: "Brother Yang, you were really not interesting last time, why did you leave quietly, come, lead you to a place for my brother, and punish you with three cups first......"

Yang Muyun's face became unnatural, how could this person never forget pulling and pulling when they met.

"Brother Song, I still have business, let's get together another day, another day." Yang Muyun glanced at Duan Xiaoqi while refusing.

Duan Xiaoqi understood, stepped forward and said, "Song Gongzi, my family is really on business. ”

"Your Excellency?" Song Ping was stunned. He always thought that Yang Muyun was just a scholar who came to Nandu from Huzhou to play, how could he still become an adult.

Duan Xiaoqi said: "Don't hide it from my son, my family is the lord of the hundred households of Fusi in Jinyi Weinan Town. ”

For a while, Song Ping and his entourage were stunned.

With a sound of "brush", Song Ping opened the paper fan and looked Yang Muyun up and down again: "Brother Yang is really a real person?" is so young that he is actually the official body of the sixth rank of the imperial court. What a shame to be a brother. ”

"Brother Song, it's a long story, the younger brother will explain it to Brother Song in detail another day."

"No, no, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, find a place for my brother to explain slowly, you don't need to say it, look at the day at noon, no matter how much you work, you can't skip eating, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers......"

Yang Muyun saw that he couldn't refuse, so he said: "Brother Song insists on this, then the junior brother will explain to my subordinates first." He turned around and whispered to Duan Xiaoqi: "Did you send someone to keep an eye on the family of three at the crossroads?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, when you said to follow, I had already let Zhao Liang and Sun Yin quietly tiptoe up."

"Okay, you keep an eye on them, and come and tell me as soon as there is a situation."
