Chapter 277: Choosing the Lord and Serving
Jinghu Villa is located in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, with mountains and rivers, and beautiful mountains and rivers.
Although Kaifeng Mansion is located in the plain area and the terrain is flat, it does not mean that there are no mountains, and some low hills still exist.
Jinghu Villa was built in front of a low hill, and there was a small artificial lake before the villa, called "Mirror Lake", and Jinghu Villa was named after it.
At the same time, because of the beautiful scenery of Jinghu Villa, there is a taste of Jiangnan landscape, so many court officials moved here after paying tribute.
Of course, it does not mean that the people living in Jinghu Villa are all officials of the imperial court or their families, and there are also many wealthy businessmen, who are not short of money, so they have built some fertile fields or mansions in Jinghu Villa, and live here as other houses.
There are also many ordinary farmers who rent the owner's land and pay the rent, and these people are called "customers".
At this time, in a mansion in Jinghu Villa, Li Sanjian was tied up and lying on the ground, surrounded by two men and three women, one old and one young, and one old and two young women.
"Mei'er, untie him." The Dragon Pavilion Master of Qingyin Pavilion said to a young woman.
When the young woman named Mei'er heard this, she walked towards Li Sanjian, half-knelt on the ground, first took out the rags in Li Sanjian's mouth, and then reached out to untie the hemp rope on Li Sanjian's body.
"Thank you, girl..." After the rag in Li Sanjian's mouth was taken out, he suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier, he sat on the ground, turned his head to look at the young woman who was busy behind him, and thanked him in a low voice.
Hearing this, the young woman glanced up at Li Sanjian.
"Yes ... You...? The young woman looked up at Li Sanjian, and Li Sanjian saw her face clearly.
It turned out that this woman was the unusually charming-looking woman that Li Sanjian met at the Mamingxi Ferry Inn when he returned to Kaifeng Mansion from Guizhou.
Could it be that she is in the same league as the people who have tied her up? Well, it must be so, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
"Don't... Disorderly... Move... Mei'er untied Li Sanjian's body, and the two would inevitably meet skin to skin, so Mei'er scolded Li Sanjian to hide the panic in her heart.
The reason for Mei'er's panic also includes that she once stabbed him, but I don't know if Li Sanjian noticed it?
The two whispered and seemed to be flirting... So it immediately attracted the resentful gaze of the man in black.
After a while, Mei'er untied Li Sanjian's body, so Li Sanjian stood up, moved his hands and feet, walked to the Dragon Pavilion Lord and thanked him: "Thank you Dragon Pavilion Master... It's you? You guys are... ”
Li Sanjian only noticed a younger innocent woman beside the Dragon Pavilion Lord at this time, she was also the woman in the aisle he saw at the Ma Mingxi Ferry Inn, she and Mei'er stayed at the inn at that time, and she should be Mei'er's sister.
At the same time, Li Sanjian also noticed that the man in black who wanted to take his life had also met him at the Mamingxi Ferry Inn, and he was staring at him viciously at this time.
"Shame ... It's also a hero.,It's all tied up into a prawn.。。。 After the innocent woman saw Li Sanjian, she couldn't help but feel funny.
At that time, Li Sanjian was dressed as a "hero", and really frightened the man in black, Chen Enyi...
Li Sanjian grinned awkwardly at the innocent woman when he heard this.
Where is he a hero? It's just an illusion created by taking King Wu's sword and rushing through the dust.
"Jiao'er must not be rude." The Dragon Pavilion Lord looked at the two of them and asked suspiciously, "You know each other?" ”
"Mother, didn't my sister tell you? At that time, in the Ma Mingxi Inn, I found that what he was holding in his hand was... Wu Wangjian has caught our attention. The innocent woman named Jiao'er replied.
"Well, look at my memory, hey, my mother is really old... The Dragon Pavilion Lord chuckled.
"This person is a person from the government, just by holding the sword of King Wu, the Dragon Pavilion Lord thinks that he has something to do with our clan, is it too rash?" Elder Chen was extremely impatient at this time, and interrupted the Dragon Pavilion Master's words.
"Elder Chen!" The Dragon Pavilion Lord sank his face and said, "The Wu Wang Sword has disappeared for decades, and it suddenly appears at this time, shouldn't it be carefully asked?" Who is rash in the rush to take his life? ”
"Hmph, this person knows about us and wants to attack Huang Daogu, so he can no longer be allowed to live in the world, and he must be removed." Elder Chen snorted coldly and said. Love
Elder Chen was really depressed in his heart, and he originally planned to bring Li Sanjian here, and after careful interrogation, he would start to remove him. You can even "put a Gu" on Li Sanjian, and then let him go back, or it won't be long before Li Sanjian will die of poison, so that he can be unaware, but Elder Chen never expected that the Dragon Pavilion Lord and others would quickly know about this matter and save Li Sanjian.
"Know what we're waiting for?" Hearing this, the Dragon Pavilion Lord sneered, "I'm afraid I know about Elder Chen, right?" Aunt Huang? Don't think you're doing things, I don't know. ”
"What did we do?" Elder Chen asked.
"You know in your own hearts what you have done." The Dragon Pavilion Lord looked at Elder Chen and said.
"Long Lingxiang, the old man is the old general, when the old man was more than ten years old, he followed the old man to fight in the north and south, and made countless achievements, the old man is your elder, at this time you dare to speak to the old man like this? How rude it is? Back then, there was no old man desperately to rescue his wife, where would you have Long Lingxiang? Elder Chen's voice suddenly raised an octave and shouted at the Dragon Pavilion Lord.
"Elder Chen!" Elder Chen mentioned the past, and the Dragon Pavilion Lord couldn't help but salute Elder Chen's clothes: "What Elder Chen said is right, when my mother was in danger, Elder Chen led his troops to fight to the death and rescued my mother, and my mother then gave birth to Lingxiang. However, Elder Chen, this person is holding the sword of King Wu, and he must have something to do with his father, so after I ask clearly, how about handing it over to Elder Chen? ”
"Well, just ask." The Dragon Pavilion Lord said this, which made Elder Chen's expression soften slightly, so he snorted and said.
The Dragon Pavilion Lord nodded, walked up to Li Sanjian with the Wu Wang Sword in both hands and asked, "Where did you get this Bing Wu Wang Sword?" ”
"Guizhou and even in a cave in the mountains." Li Sanjian replied truthfully.
"Guizhou or even the mountain caves? Tell me more about it. The Dragon Pavilion Lord frowned and said.
Li Sanjian nodded, and told in detail what he had encountered in the mountain cave.
Of course, Li Sanjian did not mention that he had dismantled the bones of Nong Zhigao's predecessors... just said that he buried Nong Zhigao's bones respectfully.
Don't think about it, these people must be the descendants or old subordinates of Nong Zhigao, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, since he is the descendants or old subordinates of Nong Zhigao, then if he is disrespectful to Nong Zhigao's bones, then he may be dismantled by them immediately...
Li Sanjian guessed correctly, Long Lingxiang is actually surnamed Nong but not Long, the widow of Nong Zhigao, who rebelled in the fourth year of the Renzong Dynasty, and his mother was rescued by Elder Chen before giving birth to Long Lingxiang.
After Nong Zhigao's rebellion was suppressed by the Song Dynasty, of course he refused to let go of his family, so in addition to killing the captured Nong Zhigao's family, he also drew pictures of Nong Zhigao's family who fled abroad, and refused to give up.
The big is hidden in the court, the middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wilderness, and it is safest to hide at the feet of the Son of Heaven at this time.
It's actually the family of the thief? The more Li Sanjian guessed, the more frightened he became, he was actually implicated in the thief?
At the beginning, in the cave of the mountain, he happened to meet the remains of Nong Zhigao, and finally Li Sanjian respectfully buried his remains, if this matter was known by the imperial court, it would inevitably be a big crime, Li Sanjian may be convicted and imprisoned, but at that time, only himself and Cai Rongxue were present, no second person knew, and at this time Cai Rongxue became his wife, of course, he would not leak the matter.
But at present, Li Sanjian's investigation of the case actually found the descendants of the anti-thief Nong Zhigao, which made Li Sanjian break out in a cold sweat, feeling that the vest was cold, and the vest was wet with cold sweat.
"What else is left of the Father besides the sword?" After listening to Li Sanjian's story, the Dragon Pavilion Lord asked with tears in his eyes.
"No... There is, it's just that this Bingwu Wang Sword has nothing else. Li Sanjian replied.
In addition to leaving Wu Wangjian, Nong Zhigao also has a "Guiguzi Art of War", in addition, there is also a piece of parchment, which is written to future generations to inherit his will, continue to rebel, avenge him, and so on, but how can Li Sanjian say this matter clearly at this time?
The parchment with many rebellious words written on it has long been destroyed by Li Sanjian and buried deep in the caves, and "The Art of War of Guiguzi" is placed at home, and Li Sanjian does not want to return this military book to Nong Zhigao's descendants, the reason is that Li Sanjian does not want to get involved in too much trouble.
"Elder Chen, this person can't be killed... The Dragon Pavilion Lord then turned to Elder Chen and said.
"Wait!" Elder Chen interrupted the Dragon Pavilion Master's words and said to Li Sanjian, "Why don't you draw your sword and try it?" ”
Elder Chen suddenly regretted a little when he said that, in Guojiazhuang, didn't Li Sanjian already draw his sword out of the sheath? Wouldn't it be better for him to try his sword at this time?
"Canglang!" With a sound, Li Sanjian held the hilt of the sword, drew the sword out of its sheath and smiled: "Why is this difficult? Anyone can draw a sword, right? ”
King Wu's sword light flickered, shining on the faces of everyone in the room, and the Dragon Pavilion Lord immediately showed a surprised expression, although his daughter Mei'er and Jiao'er had also said this before, but it was better to see it than to hear it, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, the Dragon Pavilion Lord said secretly in his heart.
Li Sanjian didn't draw his sword once or twice, every time it was extremely easy, but why did they always look surprised? Could it be that this sword really chose the Lord to serve?
