Chapter Seventy-One: True and False

Xu You returned to the cabin, and Ma Yiming hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What did you say about the sacrificial wine? ”

"I didn't say anything, I just asked the details of the Mingfa Temple's arguments, and then praised me a few words."

"That's good, that's good!" Ma Yiming twisted his beard, his eyes lit up, and said: "I'm still afraid that you will make your own decisions for sacrificing wine, but now it's okay, since you praise your talent, there will definitely be a big reward." ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "There is indeed a big reward, but I don't know if it's a sacrificial wine to make me happy......"

"What is this called? What kind of people are the sacrificial wine, how can you find your happiness in the leisure? What is the reward? ”

"The sacrificial wine wants to promote me to be the ruler of Yangzhou!"

"Promotion, that's what you should do. Well...... What the? Yangzhou Zhi......" Ma Yiming used his hand violently, pulled off several beards, his eyes were like cowbells, and said: "Zhengzhi? ”

"Yes, if I heard it right, it's one of the two Zhengzhi of Yangzhou!"

"This ...... That's impossible! ”

Ma Yiming grabbed Xu You's arm, and before he could ask questions, the hatch creaked open, and a trilogy came to invite him to see Yuan Qingqi. Xu You watched Ma Yiming lose his soul and go, and he was still muttering that it was impossible and impossible, and he was also a little embarrassed in his heart: Ma Yiming had worked hard in the Heavenly Master Dao for so many years, and he was complacent about Yuan Qingqi's promise to promote him to fifty generals not long ago, and he never thought that Lin Tong, who had personally ascended to the Dao, would sit in a high position in just a few months.

The huge Yangzhou governance, under the sacrificial wine, there are only two Zhengzhi!

People are more popular than people, needless to say that Ma Yiming must have an unbalanced mentality, but Xu You doesn't care about the other party's thoughts, he shouldn't stay too long in Yangzhou, and Ma Yiming's master-apprentice relationship, in the future, he only needs to maintain superficial closeness, and the entanglement between each other will become less and less, so there is no need to worry too much.

What Xu You was worried about at this time was, did Yuan Qingqi find out his identity? Carefully recalling all the details of the meeting between the two, Yuan Qingqi behaved as usual, without showing the slightest abnormality, but he had no beginning or end, and suddenly recommended him to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, which was a little hasty and strange!

I can't figure it out, Xu You prides himself on knowing people's hearts, but he always has a hazy sense of seeing flowers in the fog for Yuan Qingqi, at a young age, a lady with a gate valve, and the city government is so strict, I really don't know how Yuan Jie raised his daughter!

After about two pillars of incense, Ma Yiming came back happily, the decline just now was swept away, and he said with a red face: "Tong'er, the sacrificial wine has just explained, I want you and I to go back to Qiantang first, and after settling down, I will personally send you to Linwu Mountain to perform your duties." Hey, it's really a great fortune, Maxima often has it and Bole doesn't have it, if it weren't for the Ning sacrificial wine, she would have valued you so much, and if you want to be promoted from the transcendent to the right rule, I'm afraid it will be difficult. You must know that in the more than 100 years of the Heavenly Master Dao, there has never been a person who has been promoted so quickly, and of course, no one has ever made such a great contribution as you...... But you must not be proud of your merits, you must be grateful for the sacrificial wine, saddle the horse before and after, and serve it as a disciple. In this way, even if there is opposition, the support of sacrificial wine and Zhu Dao'an's red-dyed monk's robe are enough to gag their mouths......"

Ma Yiming chattered endlessly, as if hinting at how Xu You should stand in line in the future, which shows that Yangzhou Zhi may not be monolithic, and they are all happy and convinced by Yuan Qingqi's airborne sacrificial wine.

Xu You interrupted him and said, "Master Du, I don't know what you asked when I summoned you with sacrificial wine?" ”

"It's nothing, I asked you where you come from, where you live, why you live in Qiantang, etc. Don't worry, the sacrificial wine said, you have a poor background, you are a brother when you enter my Daomen, and in the future, millions of Daoists will be your relatives, and you will never be displaced again, and there will be no place to live! ”

Lin Tong's identity is almost perfect, and there are still some small loopholes that have been handed over to the winter solstice to be addressed, not to mention Yuan Qingqi, even if Fengmen and Si Lifu join forces, it is estimated that no flaws can be found.

Xu You said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern!" Then his tone changed and he smiled: "That's all you said?" I see that the master is happy......"

Scratching the itch, Ma Yiming's old face was about to bloom, and said: "Cough, or borrow your light, the sacrificial wine said that the disciple is the right rule, and the master is too ugly for the ten generals, and you want to promote me to be the ...... of the five hundred generals."

The light boat left Zhenze Lake overnight, Xu You did not enter Wu County to rest, and separated from Ma Yiming at the pier, changed the manned bream trail and returned to Qiantang. Since it was a night voyage, there were not many passengers on the boat, Xu You closed his eyes and did not look around, but he knew that among these passengers, or among the shipwrights who operated the ship, Qingming was quietly hiding in the shadows to protect him.

With Qingming here, at least you can sleep in peace and sleep well, the energy spent on meeting Yuan Qingqi today is far greater than the argument between him and Zhu Daoan on the Lianhua Terrace, and a sense of exhaustion comes to mind, and he falls asleep after a while.

Arrived in Qiantang two days later, it was the afternoon, the scene in the Qiantang view was more lively than when leaving, inside and outside the three entrances, whether it was the main hall or the courtyard was all filled with people, competing to pay the rent and rice tax, kowtowing and burning incense to worship God to get rid of illness, more in the Jing room to repent and write the three official handwriting, the bitter spring was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, he was stunned when he saw Xu You, there was a bit of complexity in his eyes, but his face was with a gentle smile like the past, and said: "You are back, where is the master?" ”

"Master Du still has a few friends to see in Wu County, and I have nothing to do, so I'll come back first."

"It's okay, there is a shortage of people in the temple...... Oh, you've had a hard time, so why don't you go back and rest early! ”

Xu You could feel the estrangement in Kuquan's words, and said with a smile: "Why, when you go far away, my senior brother will have a relationship with me, right?" ”

Kuquan shook his head and said calmly, "Where will it be?" It's just that junior brother, you are now famous in Yangzhou, or it won't be long before your reputation will resound all over the world, and I'm afraid that it will not be appropriate to drive you to do things again......"

"Huh? The matter of Mingfa Temple has been spread here? ”

"yes!" Kuquan sighed: "The news of the junior brother's victory over Zhu Dao'an with a clear sound and wonderful purpose spread to Qiantang yesterday with the boat traveling from the south to the north, otherwise why would so many people come to enter the Tao today?" It all depends on the talent of my junior and younger brothers, so that my Daomen will finally raise my eyebrows! ”

"What did the senior brother say, I just won Zhu Dao'an by luck, how dare I take credit? If you talk about true talent and real learning, I don't know how many people are above me, and I won't mention it again in the future. ”

Kuquan stared at Xu You, smiled after a moment, and said, "Okay, it's my gaffe, I won't mention it in the future!" ”

There were more Xu You's helpers, but he was still busy until he closed the door, and when Xu You was about to say goodbye, Kuquan suddenly said: "After a tiring day, I cook at night...... Would you like to have something together? ”

There is a special cook in Qiantang Guan, and her skills are average, Xu You usually doesn't eat much in Guanli, so instead of barely mixing a full stomach, it is better to go back and follow Mo Ye to have a good time.

"Okay, I didn't know that Senior Brother would cook, I'll wait for a feast tonight!"

The bright moon hangs high, the breeze comes slowly, the night sky of Qiantang is pure like an uncombed virgin, two food tables are side by side in the courtyard in front of the main hall, backed by a camphor tree more than 20 meters high, Xu You untied his bun, draped his long hair, and sat on the futon at will. On the table are Jinyang cuixiang soup, food hu cakes, crispy sandwich sheng, jade tip noodles and crispy cold white cold utensils, although it is not rich, it may be possible to make such a few exquisite-looking and fragrant meals in a short period of time, which is already very remarkable!

"Taste, I haven't cooked for a long time, I'm a little rusty!"

Xu You picked up the food cake and took a bite, and couldn't help but praise: "Smell the fragrance and stuffy mouth, see the color and be fascinated, as fine as jade crumbs, white as silver mud, I have eaten so many cakes, should take this cake as the first!" ”

Kuquan smiled and said, "Eating Hu Cake seems to be the most simple, but it actually starts to make trouble. You have to select the wheat from Longxi, mix it with Hedong green onions, and then use the mutton from Hexi and the tempeh from Ganzhou, plus Wuxian orange leaves, Qiuchi peppercorns and Jibei salt to mix and season, fry first and then roast. Each process pays attention to the heat and proportion, and can not be neglected, so as to have crispy, soft, fragrant and smooth four flavors! ”

"Awesome!"

Xu You divided five by two, swallowed the whole food hu cake into his stomach, and then looked pitifully at the bitter spring's food table. Kuquan laughed loudly, in Xu You's impression, it seemed that it was the first time he had seen him smile so happily, handed over the dishes containing the Hu cakes, and said angrily: "Don't be in a hurry to eat the cakes first, and then taste other ......."

Before the words fell, a piece of food cake entered the stomach again, followed by Jinyang cuixiang soup, cold utensils and crispy sandwiches, and the last remaining jade tip noodles were really inedible, Xu You went to the kitchen to get the oil paper bag, ready to take it back for supper. Kuquan ate a small amount of food, only ate a bowl of cuixiang soup, and gave Xu You to wrap up the rest and take it away.

This night, the two chatted about the world, recited poems and papers, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, until it was almost time, when the curfew was approaching, Xu You got up to say goodbye. Standing outside the gate, watching Xu You's back disappear into the alley in the distance, Kuquan turned around and returned to the room, just about to light the lamp, when he heard someone in the dark say, "You and Lin Tong are friends?" ”

Kuquan was not surprised, and sat down in the place where the moonlight could illuminate on the opposite side, his delicate face was sprinkled with a little silver light, revealing a bit of mystery and poignancy, his eyes and face were lowered, and he said lightly: "I was just a fellow door before, but after tonight, I should be a friend!" ”

"You did the right thing, Lin Tong is hot right now, and befriending him will help your status and security in the Heavenly Master Dao." The man's voice sounded deep and low, making people shudder, and said: "The day before yesterday, the Second Heavenly Lord personally took action to intercept and kill Ning Changyi in Zhenze Lake, but unexpectedly fell into the ambush of that cheap maid, and the Second Heavenly Lord was severely damaged, and the ghosts who killed the Heavenly Palace also suffered heavy casualties. The Great God was very angry, and ordered the Second God to temporarily forbear, not to plan the assassination of Ning Changyi, and at the same time let all the ghosts of the Six Palaces sneak into the shadows, wait for the situation to change, and then plan for great things! ”

"Luo Killing Heavenly Palace......" Kuquan raised his head, his eyes were as deep as a long night, and said: "The second god is arrogant and conceited, impatient and narrow-minded, among the six gods, he is the only one who is the most unworthy of the name, and he can't fight Ning Changyi, which is a reasonable thing!" ”

"Shaodian, don't lie to God!"

Kuquan laughed, his eyes were as cold as snow, and said, "It's been a long time...... It's been a long time since I've heard that name......"
