10. Mystery
"Jinling, the thousand-year-old capital, the dragon and the tiger, if you get it, you will get the south of the Yangtze River!"
Mr. Guan stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the towering Jinling city wall, and muttered to himself.
There are also Xiongcheng in the north, but the city in the north has not been able to stop the iron cavalry outside the fortress for hundreds of years, nor can it stop the victims of the Central Plains.
For hundreds of years, it has been dilapidated.
Although the male is also male, there is no weather.
And Jinling, the weather is myriad and vibrant.
On the dock, Li Shanchang was in front, Hua Yun was behind, and hundreds of soldiers were silently arrayed.
Today, Zhu Wu is already the king of Han, and his strength is even higher than Liu Futong, so it is impossible to lower his body to welcome the envoy.
There is another reason, Liu Futong was the head of the red scarf in the world at that time, if you talk about the origin of qualifications, Zhu Wu is a junior.
Now that Zhu Wu is about to be king, the newly established Han really can't have anything to do with the northern red scarves.
Mr. Guan was still in high spirits, and jumped up directly without waiting for the boat to stop at the pier.
"Mr. Guan, come from afar, hard work!" Li Shanchang arched his hand.
"I'm tired of Mr. Li waiting for a long time, I'm tired!" Mr. Guan returned the salute, and the ceremony of King Zhu Wuhan had not yet begun, so Mr. Guan only called Mr. Li Shanchang, not an official position.
Afterwards, Mr. Guan looked at Hua Yun with a smile, "General Hua, don't come to harm?" ”
"Mr. Guan!" Hua Yun also has mixed feelings, the last time I saw him, it was still in Haozhou, at that time Guo Zixing was in high spirits, with an army of almost 100,000 and countless elite soldiers.
Goodbye at this time, everything is a thing of the past, and the two are a little embarrassed.
"Enter the city, King Han is busy with official business now, see you later!" Li Shanchang said with a smile.
Then the crowd got on their horses. The congratulatory boxes on those ships were naturally carried.
The sound of horses' hooves and the slow movement of the horses.
It's not that I don't want to walk quickly, but as soon as I enter the city, there are pedestrians, vendors, and people crowded everywhere, and it is very lively.
"Zhu Wu can have today, it is by no means lucky!"
Mr. Guan was deeply touched that if their northern red scarves occupied such a prosperous city, they were afraid that they would rob it on a large scale, how could they let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Thinking of this, Mr. Guan reined in his horse and got closer to Hua Yun, "General Hua, when I heard that you left Haozhou Red Scarf, I was still a little surprised, but today it seems that good birds choose trees to perch..."
"Mr. Guan, you are wrong!" Hua Yun smiled, his face was somewhat unnatural, "King Han was originally Guo Dashuai's righteous son, and we, the old people of Haozhou, follow King Han!" ”
"Zhu Chongba is the son-in-law of Guo Gong, and he also belongs to Huaixi Zidi, and he is also a descendant of Haozhou!"
Hua Yun's hand holding the reins was exposed, his face gritted his teeth, and he hesitated again and again in his heart, but finally didn't hold back.
sneered and whispered, "Descendants? Mr. Guan is an old friend of the old master, and he had a friendship for more than ten years before he started the army, and I don't hide some things from you, do you know how the old master died? ”
Mr. Guan was in his heart, Guo Zixing, he and Liu Futong turned out to be brothers in the sect where Han Shantong sat down, so they would meet to make trouble in various places.
Guo Zixing died, and Liu Futong also sent people to mourn. The matter between him and Zhu Wu has long been spread all over the north and south, and they all thought that he died in anger, could there be a hidden secret.
"How did Guo Gong die?" Mr. Guan said with a straight face, "Please also ask General Hua to speak bluntly for the sake of me and Guo Gong, who have known each other for more than ten years." ”
"Zhu Chongba strangled to death!" Hua Yun's eyes were red, as if he was about to bleed.
"Huh? How can it be? "Mr. Rao is Mr. Guan has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to seeing life and death, and his heart is also chuckling at this moment.
Although the Red Turban Army is a thief, it must also pay attention to the three outlines and five constants, and the ethical law of people. Zhu Chongba is Guo Zixing's handiwork, and he has the friendship of Weng and son-in-law, how could he be so vicious.
Hua Yun sneered, "How could it be impossible? On the day the old master went, I could see the face in the coffin clearly, I killed people all my life, and I could still see it wrong! ”
"This ...... Does the King of Han know? Mr. Kwan asked.
"I don't know!" Hua Yun is not without heart, this matter can be said, and saying it will only ruin Zhu Chongba's reputation.
But Zhu Wu must not know, and if he knows, he will say that he does not know.
After all, he is Guo Dashuai's righteous son, although he is severing his righteousness, but after all, people die and debts are gone.
If Zhu Wu knew and didn't act, it would inevitably attract some tongue.
"Why don't you say such a big thing?" Mr. Kwan asked.
Hua Yun sighed, "The king of my family is soft-hearted and thinks of the old love. The old master went, and the eldest lady, if the king of Han knew, then the eldest lady knew, how would the eldest lady be in the future? ”
Mr. Guan nodded, "Yes!" ”
"Besides, both sides are Huaixizi land, if the King of Han knows, wouldn't the men on both sides kill each other?" Hua Yun said again, "In this world, there are enough dead people. There is that sharp weapon, such as fighting a few more cities. ”
Mr. Guan was silent, but he was sneering in his heart.
"Something is wrong, this kind of thing, how could Hua Yun speak indiscriminately? Even if I want to say it, it is in the secret room, out of his mouth and into my ears. Now that there is an entourage behind him, doesn't this amount to fanfare? ”
Thinking of this, Mr. Guan looked back, and sure enough, the entourage following him had a strange expression, obviously hearing it.
"Besides, how could Zhu Wu not know?" Mr. Guan said in his heart, "This is an excuse to annex the Haozhou Army, how could Zhu Wu not use it?" Or, Zhu Wu deliberately didn't know, so what was his intention? ”
looked at Hua Yun with cold eyes, his face was full of righteous indignation, not like a fake.
He is a martial artist, and he has never had any scheming, why do you say these things for no reason today?
In Mr. Guan's heart, a huge mystery arose, and it seemed that this trip to Jinling was full of intrigues and tricks.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at my place of residence.
A clean and elegant temple in Jinling City, said to be a temple, is actually a garden house, which is a few points better than the houses of many rich and noble families.
Zhu Wu doesn't like monks, and everyone knows it. The temple property of the temple was confiscated, and the monks must abide by the rules and precepts, such a courtyard did not conform to the identity of the monk at all, and the monks rushed to the temple to recite the scriptures, and the courtyard was vacant.
The courtyard is huge, and when you enter the gate and pass the wings, you suddenly open up.
A huge garden, at the moment full of flowers and lush greenery, on both sides of the garden, each with pavilions, exquisite houses.
"This way, please!" Hua Yun led the way and said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Guan is coming, King Han specially asked people to repair the yard and keep you comfortable." ”
With that, he led Mr. Guan and his party to the house on the left side of the garden.
Mr. Guan looked at the equally beautiful houses on the right, and asked with a smile, "Over there, it's also for guests, right?" Who is it left for? ”
Hua Yun sneered, "It's for Zhu Chongba over there!" ”
"He came in person?" Mr. Guan became more and more puzzled, "Aren't you afraid?" ”
"What are you afraid of? After all, the King of Han is with his brother, and you also know that the King of Han of my family is so soft-hearted! Hua Yun stood at the door, watched Mr. Guan's entourage move things inside, and said, "Besides, the door is full of guests, can you still cut it with a knife?" ”
"Yes!" Mr. Kwan nodded.
After a while, it was settled, and Mr. Guan lived in the attic with a few entourages, with a garden in front and a small bridge and flowing water behind him, and the scenery was very beautiful.
The rest of the retinue lived in a room on the edge of the attic, and the furniture was exquisitely furnished.
Let these Northland red scarves be an eye-opener.
The northern red scarves have been fighting for many years, and it is not easy to eat a full stomach, when have you enjoyed this blessing.
When Hua Yun was there, these people couldn't show it, and as soon as Hua Yun left, these people couldn't sit still.
"Good girl, this is better than our Marshal's Mansion!"
"Look at the quilt on this bed, satin-faced!"
"Mother, the washbasins are all brass floors!"
The things in the house amazed these people.
"Zhu Wu fell and put a lot of effort into us!" Mr. Guan looked at the exquisite tea set on the table and said with a smile, "Hospitality! ”
This is a bit wronged Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu is simple, and the place where he lives is not necessarily better than that of the little rich man.
It was Li Shanchang and others who deliberately did not arrange it in order to receive guests.
Probably, there is also a faint sense of showing off.
In fact, the Northern Red Turban Army is not without money, but the gold and silver treasures obtained will be used to buy grain and grass, build ordnance, and win the hearts of the army.
Their situation is also far more difficult than in the south. The most important thing is that the people's livelihood under the rule is too poor.
Fight every year, kill every day, how can you have a good life.
"Don't shout, make people laugh!" Mr. Guan ordered with a smile, and then saw an entourage hanging the crossbow on his back at the head of the bed, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's strange, last time I came, out of politeness, the crossbow arrows of the people around me were all collected, why did you let them take it this time?"
"Also, shouldn't the guests be housed in a separate courtyard? His own people live here, and Zhu Chongba lives there, isn't it face to face. ”
"Even if you want to live in a courtyard, there is no reason for me to be with Zhu Chongba."
"Besides, since Zhu Wu and Zhu Chongba still have a brotherhood, why don't you arrange it separately?"
The mystery is getting bigger and bigger.
~~~
Let's say that after Hua Yun arranged for Mr. Guan and them, they went to a tavern alone.
In the private room on the second floor, Xi Ying was really slow and smiling, drinking wine and eating side dishes.
"Real people!" Hua Yun saluted and said respectfully.
"Here we go!" Xi Laodao smiled, "Settled down over there?" Sit down and have a drink! ”
Hua Yun sat down and poured wine, "Settle down!" ”
"Have you said everything that needs to be said?"
"According to your explanation, I will not drop a word!"
Xi Yingzhen smiled, "Okay, drink!" ”
Hua Yun drank it all, and then looked out the window.
"Don't worry, I can't find you on this matter, there is me on King Han's side!" Xi Yingzhen poured it for him again.
"What am I worried about?" Hua Yun smiled, "I'm a crippled person, in fact, the day the old master goes, I should follow!" ”
"Nonsense!" Xi Yingzhen said unhappily, "You follow Xiao Wu, live well, and you will naturally have great wealth in the future!" ”
