Chapter 15 Sister Ting
Xu Yuan nodded: "This person is the same as the one I was born with!" Shanyuan looked at him, excitement written on his face, "I know! Originally, His Majesty was able to write at the age of five and became a gifted at the age of ten, but after you were born, everything suddenly changed, and the prince fell in love with dancing knives and guns, and began to flatter the monarch and began to care about the position of power. Master noticed all this, and sent me to wander in the world, to be sure to find you, I have been away for ten years, and I have found nothing, and I have never heard of a vision from heaven when I was born. ”
When Shanyuan said this, there was a trace of melancholy on his face, "Master is approaching, recall me, and use the last trace of life to divinate for me, and the hexagram shows the north." Master was overjoyed and grabbed my hand and told me to find that person, and I could only promise him. So after Master's death, I set out all the way north. He didn't eat, drank only water along the way, and finally fainted in the desert. When I woke up, the first thing I saw was you, and although you were a child at the time, I could see at a glance that you were the one engraved in our hearts. ”
Xu Yuan hesitated: "Master, if I don't show up all the time, then what was the master doing before that?" Shanyuan thought about it, and then patted his head, "In the long waiting years, we have prepared an army team for you. "Xu Yuan listened, an army? Here comes the interest. "Where?" "Don't worry, I know you want revenge, let me ask you, under what conditions can you fight?"
"Plenty of food and grass and morale. The formation should be trained well, and it is best to have no other way to go except to win. Shan Yuan was noncommittal, and then asked, "How can I get them to listen to you?" Xu Yuan thought for a while: "Tempt it with high-priced treasures; Hire them with high-ranking officials; has been threatened by his parents, wife and child. Shanyuan pointed to a place on the map: "If it's him, what would you rather die than obey?" Xu Yuan looked at it, this is Shanhaiguan, and the guard is Qin Qi. Xu Yuan groaned: "Qin Qi is a great talent, the world cannot be without him, and he cannot be killed; Where a sergeant is respected, he shall not be dishonored; Then, you can use a counter-plot to cut off his back road, supplemented by the truth of the world, this person can only be respectable, and you must not care. ”
"What about fighting it?" "If you use your soldiers like a god, you should defend them, and if you can't attack them for a long time, the monarch should be suspicious and will remove him from military power." Shanyuan nodded with satisfaction, "How should you deal with all the places in the south?" "The terrain in the north is high, and it can be attacked by cavalry, so that its army will be discouraged and self-defeating." "The land of Gyeonggi has a prosperous economy, a large city, and many defenders, if it is attacked, it will definitely not be able to be attacked for a long time, what should I do?" Shanyuan asked further.
Xu Yuan was in trouble, he paced back and forth in the room, looked at the map carefully, and went out to walk around the courtyard again, thinking for a long time and still puzzled, "I still hope that the master will teach me." "I can't tell you now, it's also on paper to tell you, what is Meng Jia doing under the mountain now?" "Back to Master, Meng Jia is doing handymen at the inn under the mountain." "You go to him, just say it's his cousin, inquire closely about the movements in Gyeonggi, if there is auspicious rui, then come back to me, I will give you what you need." Xu Yuan could only say goodbye to his master and turned around and went down the mountain.
When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Xu Yuan only said that he was Meng Jia's cousin Dong Zhi, and that his hometown was affected by the disaster and came to Meng Jia, so he only wanted to give him food. Sister Ting, the proprietress saw that he was honest and smart, so she accepted him and just asked him to do some chores. Xu Yuan quietly observed everything around him. The proprietress claimed to be widowed, but she never had her father's rank anywhere in the store, and she heard from the people in the town that the proprietress never flirted with others, and she had no children, and when she came here a few years ago, she was still alone and begged for a living, and then disappeared for a while, and when she came back, she was already a woman wearing gold and silver.
In the year of the famine, there were countless victims, and some shops were afraid of losses and closed their doors early to take refuge, but she opened the door wide and took in those victims, the government taxes were complicated and heavy, but she never dealt with the inflow, with her small shop, there should not be such financial resources, this woman, there is a secret behind it. Xu Yuan was a little hesitant to follow her, maybe he could know something by following her, but wouldn't he be trapped in injustice? When he was struggling, the proprietress came over and smiled at him: "Dazhi, come here, look at it, Sister Ah has prepared her best dishes, go and send it to Wang Yuanwai!" ”
Xu Yuan finished the food and walked to Wang Yuanwai, and heard Wang Yuanwai whisper to the person who was drinking with him, "What? Do you look down on me? My brother-in-law is the county magistrate and looks down on me? Where is your turn? I saw the man sneer: "Do you still think he is a general?" His Majesty praised him, and he could only be a sergeant of a city, and be a lord of the city, but now, Your Majesty let go, he is just a pile of glass slag, no, he was relegated to Yaoshan to be a small county order. Okay, at this time and that time, it's good for you to be a member at home, why get involved in the troubled waters of the imperial court? ”
At this time, Xu Yuan pushed the door in, put the dishes made by Sister Ting, and was about to come out with his head down, when he heard Wang Yuanwai ask with a smile: "Little Er, is there any happy event in the store today?" Why did the shopkeeper personally cook this full house? Xu Yuan asked: "I don't know the guest officer, the villain has just arrived in the store not long ago, and he doesn't know much about the habits of the proprietress, so he dares to ask the staff to solve the villain's doubts." Wang Yuanwai seemed to think of something again, bowed his head and said nothing, waving his hand to let Xu Yuan retreat. If you don't know, just ask your boss, go down, the lord still has something to talk about. ”
Xu Yuan slowly retreated and closed the door, and when he returned to the back kitchen and asked Meng Jia, Meng Jia scratched his head: "I only know that this dish will be made when the proprietress is happy, and the last time I made this dish, I heard that it was when the inn opened, and I haven't seen it." Xu Yuan nodded, and he asked Meng Jia: "Do you look at my beard, does it look like a beautiful beard?" Meng Jia tilted his head and looked: "Not like that." The two fought for a while, and Xu Yuan secretly told Meng Jia a plan...
Late at night, when Wan Lai was silent, Xu Yuan walked into Sister Ting's room with his face covered, and saw that she wanted to put a carrier pigeon outside, Xu Yuan shouted in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly grabbed the teacup on the table in his hand and smashed it towards the pigeon, the pigeon's wings were injured and planted downward, Meng Jia waited outside the window, only to see him jump up, grab the pigeon, twist his head off on the spot, turn around and go upstairs to Sister Ting's room, Sister Ting watched coldly as they opened the envelope tied to the pigeon's feet, which said "Far to"
Xu Yuan looked at her, her eyes revealing pride. "You are in the same group as Wang Yuanwai, if I doubt your identity and your news cannot be sent, he will come to you. Right? ”
