The Wind Rises Chapter 45 The Flying Fish Robe and the Green Coat
Gu Suzhou has recently laxed its vigilance, and the soldiers arranged by the city pass are obviously less, and the intensity of checking people from outside the city is not as strong as before.
But I don't know why, I haven't checked like before recently, so that there are more foreign vendors, except for salt and iron, whether it is gold, silver and jewelry, or delicacies from the mountains and seas, people outside the city are transported inside in boxes.
The man who liked to listen to the tide at the pier rarely went to the river nowadays, but hardly left the house, sitting in the courtyard every day, holding a black chess piece in one hand and a white chess piece in the other. It's just that instead of playing with yourself like before, I'm studying some chess games.
At that time, there were two people in the middle of the meditation lake, the man in the Taoist robe was white, and the man in the cloth was black. The two fought for three days and three nights, and even in the Jingxuan Building, someone reviewed here, and every time the two of them took the next step, the building here would follow up.
During the period, there were a lot of people in the Jingxuan Building, and there was no table and chair that was empty for three days and three nights, and some people really couldn't close their eyes, so they lay on the table and rested for a while, and after waking up, they continued to watch chess, and shouted who won such words.
In fact, the first thing more people say after waking up is: What are the few moves of fairy chess?
Then, for some reason, after three days and three nights, neither of them fell behind, and the two sides agreed to fight again in the same position ten years later, and then continue to play this game of chess.
Therefore, this game of chess should become a fairy chess that people love to study, in addition to the two people who play chess have a fairy spirit, this game of three days and three nights of chess has also become a classic handed down.
Liu Xinxing was studying this game of chess just now, and with his memory, he could already review the whole game. But he was not willing to review the game, but played this game from the perspective of the black-wielder, but he played and was wrapped in it again. So today he still can't stretch his brows.
Just as he was about to put away the chessboard and go out for a walk, a guest came to the house.
After seeing the guest, Liu Xinxing hurriedly got up and saluted slightly, but he didn't dare to look at her directly. The girl, who was dressed in a fragrant horse hemp flying fish robe, said nothing, and after calmly accepting a salute, she walked directly to the chair just now, and then sat down.
She stared at Liu Xinxing with scrutinizing eyes, and the latter still didn't look up at this time, just quietly waiting for the "guest" to speak.
When the girl saw the chess pieces on the table, she stretched out her jade hand and grabbed a large handful, black and white.
When Liu Xinxing heard the sound of the chess piece, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still didn't dare to show it.
The girl picked up one of them with two fingers and said slowly, "Governor Liu, how is the one surnamed Li doing?"
After Liu Xinxing heard this, he replied respectfully: "Miss Hui, everything is normal on the second prince's side, and he is still doing the work of the shopkeeper in Fengxuan Building." ”
The girl sighed lightly and said casually, "He didn't come to you?"
"No, we met last time at the docks. Liu Xinxing's voice was neither high nor low.
The girl didn't ask again, but only asked if there was tea in the house. When Liu Xinxing heard this, he immediately went to the house and took a pot of tea that had been boiled and sent it to the girl.
After the girl took a sip, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Governor Liu also had some research on tea, and the water brewed in this tea is mountain spring water." ”
Governor Liu said without humility: "Miss is right, I am not used to drinking well water when drinking tea, and I taste astringent in my mouth, and it just so happens that this tea can only be brewed with mountain spring water to give it its proper taste." ”
The girl nodded, not wanting to discuss too much. She thought about it for a while and went straight to the topic: "When are you leaving Gusuzhou?"
Liu Xinxing thought for a moment and said, "If nothing else, it should be next month." He suddenly remembered something and added, "The premise is that there are no accidents." ”
The girl's face sank and she asked, "Why do you keep emphasizing accidents?"
Liu Xinxing hesitated, as if he was struggling with whether to say it or not.
The girl glared at him, and Liu Xinxing sighed and said, "A few days ago, Zhiqiu almost died. ”
When the girl heard this, she had no expression on her face.
Liu Xinxing's heart sank, gritted his teeth and continued: "That assassin is dead, our people have found out, that assassin is called the night watchman, the forty-second on the secret list, and other information is unknown. ”
"Who saved him?" the girl's tone couldn't tell if she was angry, just a little cold.
"That teaching gentleman, people call him Mr. Wen. Liu Xinxing replied.
The girl seemed a little surprised when she heard this, and she asked, "When did it happen?"
"The night before, on the west side of the city. Liu Xinxing still said patiently.
"Where are your people?" the girl's voice grew colder and colder, and there was no longer the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Liu Xinxing sighed in his heart, what should come will come after all. He could only face the scalp and say, "Our people.... The strength is very small, even if you shoot, you can't beat the night watchman, and... I have already punished the two people who remained at that time. ”
"Is it dead?" said the girl, coldly.
Liu Xinxing was stunned and shook his head slowly.
The girl turned around, walked to the door, and whispered, "If they don't die, then you will die." ”
Liu Xinxing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he replied: "I understand, miss, wait until I let those two people drink poison and commit suicide." ”
The girl nodded slightly, and stepped out of the door, swaying in the wind with her flying fish robe.
Liu Xinxing waited for the girl to go out of the door, and then he gasped suddenly. Although the girl is young, how can this heart be so ruthless. He speculated on the girl's thoughts as he continued to drink the unfinished tea.
There were some things he had to consider, such as why did this Miss Yun care so much about Zhiqiu? Just because Zhiqiu's surname was Ouyang and he was the only son of the current Shoufu?
Even if he Liu Xinxing, as the chief of Gusu, he couldn't calculate which move Miss Yun took.
In fact, he didn't know the identity of this Miss Yun at all, but if someone asked him to obey her, he Liu Xinxing had to do it.
Who else could there be besides the people in the capital?
Liu Xinxing was actually afraid of Miss Yun in his heart, and the latter was the first to tell Liu Xinxing about Zhiqiu's identity.
Although Liu Xinxing also knew it for a long time, but before her, no one had talked to him about the young man on Yushui Street, and even when the political envoy came to Suzhou to inspect Gusu, he didn't mention Zhiqiu, so Liu Xinxing knew her identity, at least the information she had was higher than that of the political envoy.
And it is very strange that Miss Yun and Zhiqiu came to Gusuzhou at almost the same time, the former was a little late, the day she first met Miss Yun, she was accompanied by two men with double knives on their waists, looking extraordinary, just the clothes worn by the two men were revealing a sense of wealth.
But if you want to talk about when you dealt with Miss Yun, it has to be because Zhiqiu talked about it...
Liu Xinxing had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he was even guessing.
Does this Miss Yun like Zhiqiu?
Otherwise, why was Miss Yun's mind full of Zhiqiu's shadow? Even Yuan Xiuyuan told him that Miss Yun asked him to look at Zhiqiu on Yushui Street.
One thing is for sure, Miss Yun has already guessed her relationship with Zhiqiu, but why does she still let Yuan Xiuyuan look at Zhiqiu? She is not afraid that Yuan Xiuyuan will sniff out a little clue?
The teapot in Liu Xinxing's hand had already been drunk, but he didn't even have the heart to get up and add some water, he was thinking about the relationship between the two in his mind.
Is it friend or foe?
At least for now, it seems that Miss Yun still cares about Zhiqiu, but with Miss Yun's power, why didn't she send someone to protect Zhiqiu?
Liu Xinxing's head became more and more chaotic, after thinking about it, he didn't think about it in the end, he just wanted to do his part before leaving.
Yun Ruojin had just come out of Liu Xinxing's mansion, and he was in a very bad mood. It's been almost half a year since she last met Zhiqiu, if you don't count the time she saw that fool on the street outside of the rain.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I came back, I heard Liu Xinxing say such news, but after all, Zhiqiu is not dead, people, just be there.
This girl, who usually likes to wear green, made an exception today to wear a very eye-catching flying fish robe, but she herself is not used to it.
But she thought about it, and not in front of that fool.
Otherwise, if he wore this outfit to see him, he might not even be able to say a word.
In his heart, hasn't he always been the little girl who clenched her fists and wanted to beat him in the temple fair?
He couldn't imagine that he was going to kill a girl at every turn, Yun Ruojin couldn't help laughing.
I don't know what she was laughing at, this girl of the same age as Zhiqiu was jumping up and down the street.
It's like a girl who doesn't understand the world.
Yuan Xiuyuan is now anxious, and he can't sleep well every day in his house.
There are people outside at the door of their houses every day, and they will scold them at least and splash some dirty water at worst.
This fat man didn't want to anger these people, he didn't have to think about it, these people were instructed by the group of officials who were removed from office by his own order. A few years ago, my brain was hot, and I followed several other old officials in the city to collect the silver from the merchants outside the city.
As for whether he can become a big official, he Yuan Xiuyuan has not considered it at all.
But now it's different, that Governor Liu really moved him, greedy for one or two taels of silver is greedy, greedy for ten thousand taels of silver is also greedy, sooner or later he will be exposed, and if he doesn't do it, he will lose his head.
And Liu Xinxing didn't report him, and chose to give him another chance, then he had to seize it.
Sometimes, it's not that people are without ambition, they just don't have the right opportunity to show it.
That Governor Liu is going to be promoted, as for whether he will go to the capital, he doesn't know, anyway, the prefect of Suzhou must be his own, and what about the future?
Liu Xinxing will continue to rise, Yuan Xiuyuan must know in his heart, he can't care how big an official is.
All he knew he had to follow.
This Maxima is often there, but Bole is not often.
He Yuan Xiu is far from being a thousand miles, but Liu Xinxing must be that Bole.
