Chapter 10 Shentangyu
Shentangyu is adjacent to Yanqi Lake in the east, and the ancient temple of the former dynasty is in the south, and is located between the two mountains, which is about 20 miles long. The Yanqi River at the bottom of the valley crosses the water, the stone waterfall on the hillside is strange in shape, the clear water of Longtan is clear, the rich and noble gentry build houses here to make a summer outing.
It was winter, the cold wind was sluggish, and it was not time to enjoy the scenery. The shadows inside and outside the Shentangyu are sparse, the mountains and fields are covered with snow, and on the river path, Zhongli Jiujiu leads the big red horse to stop and go.
learned from the news dealer that Xu Buling came to Shentangyu, although Zhong Li Jiujiu had doubts, but the 'white paper fan' on the rivers and lakes can win the trust of the three sects and nine streams, because if he takes the silver, he will act according to the rules, and Chen Siye of Chang'an City can conflict with the wolf guard for the safety of the guests, not to mention Liu Wu, who has been rooted in Fanyang County for many years.
It's just that Zhongli Jiujiu followed the clues to Shentangyu, and his eyes were empty, and there were no beautiful scenery or tourists in winter.
Zhongli Jiujiu didn't know the purpose of Xu Buling's visit to Shentangyu, so he could only continue to walk into the valley, wanting to go to the deep Longtan to see, where the scenery was the most beautiful, as long as people who came to Shentangyu would generally go over.
When I came to the entrance of Shentangyu, there was a tea shop on the side of the road with the door open, and the two tables under the canopy were empty, only a young man sat at the door, with a brazier at his feet, rubbing his hands and watching left and right.
After seeing Zhong Li Jiujiu, the young man smiled a little and said:
"Girl, do you want to sit down and rest? This year's pre-rain Longjing, there is no ...... anywhere else"
Ordinary words to solicit business, Zhongli Jiujiu stopped, thought about it, sat down at the table of the tea stall, and said with a smile: "Little brother, has there been a man on horseback who has entered the Shentangyu in the past two days?" Tall, handsome horses, should have an entourage......"
The young man got up and carried the teapot, poured a bowl of tea and put it on the table, and nodded: "A few days ago, there was such a person who came over and went in directly, I was in the shop at the time, and I didn't see how many people ...... clearly."
Zhongli Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and he asked softly, "Have you ever left?" ”
The young man shook his head: "I didn't see it, I didn't go out from the other end, I must have stayed in the Tingquan Building in Longtan, there were no guests in the winter, I heard that the door was still open in the Quanlou, if the girl was looking for someone, she could go there to see ......"
"Oh......"
Zhongli Jiujiu thought for a moment and asked, "What color is the horse that the man is riding?" ”
The young man put down the teapot and thought about it slightly: "I was boiling water in the shop, I heard the sound, I glanced at it from the window, it was getting dark and it was snowing, I didn't see it clearly, but from the size of it, it looks like a snowhorse in Mobei, which is rare here in Youzhou, so I remember it......"
Zhongli Jiujiu felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was strange, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the description of the other party, he didn't ask any more, picked up the teacup and prepared to take a sip.
After the young man finished speaking, he sat back at the door of the tea shop, shaking his legs lightly on the fire, and his eyes did not stop at the guest.
Zhongli Jiujiu drank a bowl of tea, rested for a while, and then got up and prepared to enter the Shentangyu, but just put the copper plate on the table, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the horse bells 'jingled-', just listening to the sound knew that it was a rare good horse.
Zhongli Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little familiar, and looked back, but saw that at the end of the road where the cold wind swept across the snow, a black spot rushed over at an alarming speed.
Xu Buling?!
Zhongli Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and he was about to secretly praise a few words about the ability of the news dealer, but he immediately felt that it was wrong.
Judging from the direction, Xu Buling obviously just came from outside......
Thinking of this, Zhongli Jiujiu frowned, and turned his eyes to look at the young man sitting outside the tea stall.
The young man saw the very eye-catching Mobei horse in a blink of an eye, and he knew that he had hit a big luck, his expression stiffened slightly, and he chuckled:
"Yo~ When did this little brother come out, I really didn't pay attention to ......"
When Zhongli Jiujiu heard this, he was half-convinced, and immediately walked out of the tea shop and shook his hand, greeting Xu Buling.
Xu Buling galloped for more than 100 miles, his face was almost blown into facial paralysis by the cold wind, and the explosive power and endurance of the wind-chasing horse under his crotch were the top in the world, but he continued to run for hundreds of miles without resting, and he was so tired that he was panting like thunder and spraying white mist, and the sweat was steaming up on the horse, and he could hear the heartbeat like a drum when he sat on the horse's back, and he was afraid that he would be tired to death if he ran again.
Seeing Zhongli Jiujiu's figure in the distance, Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the wind chasing horse to trot down until he reached Zhongli Jiujiu.
Zhongli Jiujiu stood in front of the tall horse, and she could feel the blazing breath coming to her face, and the sweat mist rising from the horse's body was like smoke, obviously rushing over with all her horsepower, she was slightly puzzled:
"Xu Buling, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu Buling turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and wanted to slap Zhongli Jiujiu's ass, but after thinking about it, forget it:
"Rush over and save the beauty heroically. You are still walking the rivers and lakes, and you don't know if you're about to be wrapped, what are you doing in Shentangyu? ”
Zhongli Jiujiu was a little dazed: "Liu Wu from Fanyang County said that you are in Shentangyu...... The guy at the tea shop just now ...... "Speaking of this, Zhongli Jiujiu finally noticed that something was wrong, she was sold!"
If you can lead her here, she must have sold it to Yanqi Villa......
Thinking of this, Zhongli Jiujiu was furious, in the past, the news dealers on the rivers and lakes were unruly, but the fate of the whole family was killed, I didn't expect this Liu Wu to take the money against her......
Zhongli Jiujiu looked back at the tea shop, the young man at the door of the tea shop had already mounted his horse, galloped towards the temple, and ran a hundred paces away.
"That's the eyeliner of Yanqi Villa, don't let him go back to report the news."
Xu Buling frowned, not wanting to let the wind chasing horse sprint with all his might, so he took off the dragon-patterned lance from the side of the horse, held it in his hand and trotted two steps, and threw it like a javelin.
Sa –
The long lance broke through the wind, like a sharp arrow off the string, and crossed a hundred paces in the blink of an eye.
The young man, who heard the sound of the breaking wind, did not have time to jump off his horse, so he threw himself forward, and was nailed to a large tree by the side of the road with a long lance, and after a few convulsions he did not move.
Zhongli Jiujiu just turned over and got on the horse, and when he saw this scene, he came down again and came to Xu Buling:
"It must be Liu Wu who sold my news to Yanqi Villa, I have offended Yanqi Villa before, I'm afraid there is an ambush inside...... How do you know? ”
Xu Buling led the horse to the inn's manger to drink, and said casually: "Yesterday, the people of Yanqi Mountain Villa passed by the road and were seen by the rivers and lakes, and I heard them chatting in the morning...... Watch out later. ”
Zhongli Jiujiu was slightly stunned: "You're not sure if it's me, so you ran over in such a hurry?" ”
Xu Buling tilted his head and looked at Zhongli Jiujiu a few times, and finally looked at the Minghong knife on his waist:
"You are the person I paid to invite, that is, my person, I think it is possible to come over naturally just in case, it is better than you die and can't remedy it."
When Zhongli Jiujiu heard this, he was silent for a while, and his heart was a little moved. Like Zhongli Chuchu, she has no friends in the Central Plains rivers and lakes, and those who can rush to help in times of crisis can be regarded as friends of life and death in the rivers and lakes.
Zhongli Jiujiu smiled, hugged his chest and nodded: "Righteous enough, I have made up my mind for this friend of yours, this time I owe you a personal favor, and I will give you a five-percent discount on next month's monthly salary." ”
"Don't smirk, the owner of Yanqi Mountain Villa, brought dozens of people to surround you, I'm afraid there is an ambush in the Shentangyu. Tell me how you provoked people back then, you can kill me and help you calm down, otherwise let's leave now, so as not to provoke right and wrong. ”
Zhongli Jiujiu looked back at the direction of the hall with his eyes, and sighed faintly: "How can you provoke it." Sister, I was fifteen or sixteen at the time, and I was as pink as Chu Chu...... cough – tender ......"
Powdered??
Xu Buling blinked, and glanced at Zhongli Jiujiu's waist in a blink of an eye: "Miss Jiujiu, there is no village in front of the village and no store here, just the two of us, you don't talk well, I misunderstood the meaning and did something, don't blame me for not being a gentleman." ”
Zhongli Jiujiu was just in a good mood and made a meat joke, but he was afraid that he would really light Xu Buling, and he didn't dare to say anything nonsense:
"Talking about fun, huh...... Anyway, I was very good-looking back then, no worse than Ning Yuhe, and I have been wandering around Youzhou for a few days, and there are many courteous rangers behind my ass...... But don't think about it, although I am a woman from southern Xinjiang, I am also clean and self-conscious, and I have not seduced men...... At that time, Yan Hanli, the young owner of Yanqi Villa, met me on the edge of the dragon pond in the Shentangyu, and he was courteous and showed off his family......"
Xu Buling came to the tea stall, poured two cups of tea, sat down to rest, and listened to Zhongli Jiujiu.
“…… I didn't like Yan Hanli, I didn't want to pay attention to him at the time, so I wanted to leave. As a result, when the guy learned that I was from southern Xinjiang, I had no support and no background, so I was moved and drugged my food. I grew up playing with medicine, and when I noticed it, I pretended to be asleep and waited, and then Yan Hanli ran over and was caught red-handed. The matter was revealed, Yan Hanli not only did not admit his mistake, but also became angry and wanted to forcibly take me, I turned all the guards and ran away, I publicized the matter afterwards, and Yanqi Villa still wanted to kill me......"
After Zhongli Jiujiu finished speaking, he sat down next to Xu Buling and said seriously: "Sister, although I don't have a good reputation, I haven't done anything hurtful, if it weren't for this, Qingxu Zhenren wouldn't be angry and blew his beard and glare, but he couldn't do anything about me, he would have slaughtered me a long time ago." The people I offended were the ones they came to provoke me first, I didn't follow their rules, why did Yan Hanli harm people, I still have to take care of the reputation of Yanqi Villa to help them cover up? If you think I'm unforgiving, then I don't have anything to say. ”
Xu Buling took a few sips of tea and nodded: "Got it, let's go, go in and have a look." ”
Zhongli Jiujiu hesitated slightly, but thinking of Xu Buling's skills, she couldn't go wrong with her, and she didn't refuse, so she got up and followed Xu Buling into the Shentangyu......
