Chapter 88: I met an acquaintance

"Mo Hongqing only brought Yuan Che alone, Yuan Che is naturally twelve points careful, and he doesn't dare to be careless for a moment, let's not talk about this for the time being.

Besides, Jun Mufan and Nangong, the two went to Lingnan County together, the temperature here is very different from the north, the beam at this moment is the cold winter, and here is full of greenery, warm as spring, everywhere fragrant and pleasant, warm breeze, the people here are more open, and the people are more enthusiastic.

The costumes of men and women are somewhat similar to those of Fanbang and other races, and they are somewhat similar to the Miss Manjing I saw on the way back to Beijing before.

Listening to Nangong Chi, Lingnan County, bordering the neighboring country of Jialan in the Southern Jin Dynasty, is influenced by their country, and many ethnic customs are very similar to Jialan.

Seeing that it was already dark, Nangong Chi raised his whip and pointed, "Jun Mufan, let's find a place to stay." ”

Jun Mufan nodded, the two of them led the horse, and walked into the depths of the neat and ancient street, and not long after, they saw a wine shop, which said "Fuyue Inn", which was quite clean, the two glanced at each other, and walked in tacitly.

The little second brother with lively eyelids, seeing that Jun Mufan and the others had a good temperament, came over to greet them warmly, "Do the two guest officers want to stay in the hotel?" ”

Nangong nodded and said, "I want two good guest rooms." ”

The little second brother smiled and led them upstairs, the No. 1 guest room in Tianzi, and the room was neat and clean.

The two were very satisfied, and the second brother said enthusiastically, "The younger one is the two guest officers, prepare bath water, will the meal be eaten downstairs later, or will it be sent to the room?" ”

Nangong smiled and asked, "Jun Mufan, shall we go downstairs for dinner?" ”

Where to dine didn't make much difference to Jun Mufan, so he nodded.

After the little second brother left, the two put their luggage in their respective rooms, packed up, and after bathing, Nangong Chi came to knock on the door, and Jun Mufan opened the door while holding his hair with a ribbon.

After letting him in, Nangong inadvertently saw a fine sandalwood comb on the table next to him, small and delicate and shining, he played with it in his hand, and couldn't help but praise, "This comb material and style are very rare, the best in the comb." ”

Jun Mufan frowned slightly and said, "Really? I don't think there's anything special, this is Mo Hongqing's stingy, I thought I would send some silver taels to make entanglements. ”

Nangong Chi's face immediately changed, put down the comb, his heart sank, there was an indescribable sourness, this His Majesty sent a comb, the intention could not be more obvious, and then looked at Jun Mufan's expression, indifferent as the wind, it seems that he doesn't know His Majesty's deep meaning, but in any case, do you dare to fight with Your Majesty for women?

"Hey, Nangong, what's wrong with you?" Jun Mufan saw that his face was pale and in a trance, and he asked hurriedly.

Nangong Chi's heart was sour, and he was busy sorting out his emotions, and smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, maybe it's too tired." ”

Jun Mufan believed that it was true, he was a scholar, and it was normal for him to be tired after such a long journey, so he said, "After dinner, you can go back to your room to rest, right?" ”

Nangong Chi pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I have something to discuss with you." ”

He seemed casual, but without checking, he kept an eye on Jun Mufan all the time, watching him pull his hair hard, and couldn't help but stand up and walk over, "I'll help you." ”

"No need." Jun Mufan excused himself.

"I'm still waiting to go downstairs for dinner, they're all friends, so why be polite."

After speaking, he reached out and held Jun Mufan's inky black hair in his palm, took a deep breath, and suppressed the undue commotion in his heart.

Jun Mufan sat down, a little embarrassed, "Usually these things are done by Jin'er, by the way, Nangong, what do you think of that girl?" ”

Jin'er is Jun Mufan's personal girl, Nangong Chi naturally wants to praise it, and said lightly, "Jin'er is kind, considerate, and naturally good." ”

It's good, Jun Mufan put the two people together in his mind, this picture is quite harmonious, and he made up his mind that when he goes back, he must match the two people, smiled, and said, "You just said, what do you want to discuss with me?" ”

Nangong Chi had already tied up his hair, and quietly picked up a few combed hairs, tied them up, and put them in the clothes on his chest, then sat down again and asked, "Have you heard of King Lingnan?" ”

Jun Mufan shook his head, but he had already guessed that Nangong Chi came here for the purpose, and listening to Nangong Chi's next words, Jun Mufan understood.

When the Southern Jin Dynasty was just established and the foundation was unstable, in order to get the opportunity to recuperate, and also to stabilize the place, in the frontier land, many princes of the opposite sex were divided, at that time, it was indeed beneficial to the country, but this kind of secession must have hidden dangers.

Power is a good thing, everyone wants it, and the submission of many princes is not out of sincerity, but just out of form, and the emperor has always wanted to eliminate this situation when he was there, but he was afraid that it would affect the whole body, so he couldn't make up his mind.

But these forces are expanding day by day, although they are superficially obedient to the Southern Jin Dynasty, in fact, they are their own kings, in recent years, do not pay tribute, do not worship, and over time, they will become disasters.

In recent years, the king of Lingnan has recruited troops and horses, stepped up training, and rebelled against the imperial court is only a matter of time, because Lingnan is located in the border, and the emperor is far away, I don't know if it has attracted the attention of the imperial court?

Jun Mufan's face was clear, "It turns out that you want to come over to explore the reality of King Lingnan?" ”

Nangong Chi nodded, "That's what it means, I'm thinking about how to find out now." ”

"Let's go down and have dinner first, and then think about it." Jun Mufan said.

"Let's go!"

The two went downstairs together, it was the meal at this time, there were many diners in the lobby on the first floor, the general teahouse restaurant, it was the place where the news was spread, the two of them were eating, these listened to anecdotes, but no one mentioned any deeds of the king of Lingnan.

Even if Nangong deliberately introduced the topic to the King of Lingnan, the people around him seemed to have scruples, and they were silent and never mentioned it.

It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, and this Lingnan King is very mysterious.

The Lingnan Royal Mansion is heavily guarded, and the guards and family members who enter and exit are very strict, and they can't detect any information about the Lingnan King at all.

After a few days of nothing, this night, after drinking and eating, the two simply went to the street to wander, although it was night, everywhere was full of lights, so lively.

The peace is long, the characters are numerous, and the streets are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops, and there are endless guests.

Bursts of fragrant wind, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from the Qinglou next to it, and there were many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city.

But Jun Mufan's keen sixth sense always felt that under this peaceful and prosperous atmosphere, there was a faint force that made people feel heavy, monitoring all this, which was depressing.

Suddenly, Jun Mufan's ears caught a slight sound, his eyes were condensed, his hand was raised lightly, and he pinched something with his slender fingers, and when he put it in front of him, it turned out to be a chicken bone.

Jun Mufan's eyes rolled around, pursed his lips and smiled, as if nothing had happened, he kept the original walking speed unchanged, the hanging fingers moved, and the chicken bone flew out diagonally, only to hear an "oops", coming from upstairs.

"That little white face, you stop for the master." Immediately after, another exaggerated rebuke.

Jun Mufan looked up and saw the face sticking out of the window, at this moment, he was covering his head with his hand, and smiled, "I guess it's you." ”

The young man upstairs is none other than the smiling Langjun who likes to harm others and do things that are not good for himself, the ninth master Qin She.

He frowned, "What you, you, yours, call Lord." ”

Jun Mufan put his palms behind his ears, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "What are you shouting?" ”

"Master!" Qin Shi glared at him.

"Hey!" Jun Mufan agreed simply and neatly, "Master, come up!" ”

"You kid, there's a kind!" Qin Shi pointed at him with his finger, gritting his teeth and threatening.

Jun Mufan shrugged indifferently, pulled Nangong Chi's sleeve, and whispered to him who the person upstairs was, "Let's go, let's go up and take a look." ”

In the private room upstairs, I saw Qin Shi as if he had no bones in his body, paralyzed on a lying cloud couch, a beauty beating his shoulders and pinching his legs, and on the other side, a beauty poured wine and fed fruit snacks, and in the main hall, there were several beautiful and natural beauties, dancing and singing softly.

Jun Mufan shook his head, Qin She, this guy, is really poor and extravagant, spending all day drinking and lamps, drunk and dreaming of death.

When Jun Mufan came in, Qin Shi squinted his eyes and looked lazily, "You kid, why aren't you dead?" ”

Jun Mufan's way of greeting him was not strange, it was strange that he could say good things in his mouth, so he was not angry, and walked over to him, "It doesn't matter if I die or not, I care about you, so absurd and corrupt, I'm afraid it's not far from death." ”

"Hahaha!" Qin Shi couldn't say anything about him, so he had to laugh and wave his hand, and the beauties in the room came out in a stream, leaving a piece of fragrant wind in vain.

Soon there were three of them left in the house, and Qin She, that person, was not gentlemanly, impolite, or humble, let alone let them drink tea, and he was not even allowed to sit.

Of course, Jun Mufan understands him, and when he gets along with him, he has to be thick-skinned, otherwise he will die of embarrassment, and he is not polite, so he let the slightly cramped Nangong Chi sit down, pour two glasses of water by himself, and eat the fruit unceremoniously.

Qin Shi glanced at them obliquely, suddenly smiled, pointed at Jun Mufan with his foot and asked, "I guess you offended Your Majesty and came here to flee for your life." ”

Can this person speak, Jun Mufan kicked his leg to the side, and said with a smile, "If I am running for my life, let's not say it first, I guess you must have been ordered to come here on official business......"

"Shh Qin She, the ninth master of Jiao'er Lang, suddenly sat up, got up and looked around, covered the doors and windows, turned back, and said cautiously, "Could it be Your Majesty, who sent you to help me?" ”

Jun Mufan and Nangong glanced at each other, and they were already sure that Qin Jiuye was not here for fun, but for the king of Lingnan.

It turns out that this Qin Jiuye, his unruly, doesn't ask about the world, and plays life, but it's just a cover-up, in fact, he has been secretly doing things for today.

Jun Mufan frowned, "Of course not, we're here to play." ”

Qin She's eyes narrowed, with an inquiring look in his eyes, which meant that since it wasn't, how could they know that they were here for official business.

Jun Mufan smiled, "Guess, I don't want to guess right, I don't know why the Ninth Master came?" ”

Qin Shi sighed, a little helpless, glanced at Nangong Chi next to him, and asked, "Who is this person, is it your own person?" ”“
