Chapter 746: You and the Donkey
Mr. Shen stood on the trestle and looked back, unconsciously in this place has been living for a long time, time is the most uncontrollable thing, some things can be found if they are lost, and they can never be found back when time passes, if they desperately want to hold on to the past, there is a self-deceptive saying called memory, and there is a more self-deceptive attitude called living in memory.
Mr. Shen has traveled north and south for most of his life, and wandering seems to have become accustomed to him, and he has been thoughtless in the past, but every time he leaves a place in the past few years, he will feel a little sad, and he is reluctant to say it, because he knows that it is old.
The merchant ship of the Tianqi was docked on the shore, and Mr. Shen took a deep breath and felt the air here for the last time, thinking that if the tea garden was built, he might have to come and see it in the future, so he was sad and fartful?
He comforted himself, but he couldn't comfort him, because what he was sad about was not leaving Qiuli or the planned tea plantation, but Zhuang Yong.
Both of them are old, and it is difficult to say goodbye, and it is even harder to say goodbye.
"Sir."
A young man from the Sky Ticket leaned over and said, "Our ship is about to leave, and the gentleman can board the ship." ”
Mr. Shen snorted, and looked back again, he felt that he was a little different from himself, at that time, when the sword and rivers and lakes came, he was also chic, where was he so sentimental as now.
After boarding the ship, Mr. Shen did not go back to his cabin, but let people make a pot of tea and sit on the bow of the boat, the big ship set sail slowly, many people on the ship were on the deck while watching and talking, this ship is not only Ning people but also some people who seek to stand, they have a legal identity through a legal way to go to Daning to see and walk, the court will naturally not prohibit it.
According to the requirements of the government, the merchant ships can transport people back and forth between Daning and Qiuli, but the identity of the people who board the ship must be verified clearly, and there are people from the government who strictly check the wharves on the southern coast of Daning and the wharves on the side of Qiuli.
Qiuli people are very excited, now Daning in their opinion is the world's most powerful country, after all, it is the terrifying existence that they want to destroy, they originally thought that Qiuli is the world's first power, so it is naturally worth being excited to go to Daning, and some people even want to go to Chang'an to see, want to see the capital of Daning, which is known as the first city in the world.
The big ship left the port and headed north, when the land could not be seen, the sea brought people not only shock but also fear, always can't help but fantasize about whether there is some ancient beast hidden under the sea, the next breath will break the sea and swallow the ship, sometimes you can see a huge black shadow in the boat not far from the underwater skimming, the fear will instantly rise.
The more scared, the more I think.
Early the next morning, Mr. Shen got up and moved his body on the deck, looked up, and found that there was something wrong with the watchtower on the mast, which was supposed to be empty at all times.
Mr. Shen frowned slightly, subconsciously stretched out his hand behind his back, and then realized that he hadn't carried a sword for several years.
"Mr. Shen?"
Someone called him behind his back.
Mr. Shen turned around, and a middle-aged man in a long robe stood not far behind him, smiling, and clasping his fists and saluting: "The first time I saw him, Mr. Shen is really good." ”
Mr. Shen asked, "Are you?" ”
"My surname is Song, my name is far away, and I also worked in Daning, but I am just a small official who is not in the grade."
Mr. Shen asked, "Why does Mr. Song know me?" ”
"Because I've been looking for a chance to meet you."
Song Mouyuan didn't get closer, there was a distance of about two zhang between the two people, when Mr. Shen was at his peak, these two zhang distances were not considered distances, but Mr. Shen couldn't use force easily, even if he was a strong move, his strength was afraid that it was not even one percent of the peak period, and the most important thing was that he had not practiced for several years, and practicing would hurt the heart of the inner mansion for him.
Song Mouyuan smiled: "Mr. Shen seems to be on guard? Actually, no, I'm just a scholar, and I can't do anything. ”
Of course, Mr. Shen could see that this Song Mou was far from being a martial artist.
"What are you looking for me?"
"Nothing important, just admiration for the name of the gentleman."
Song Mouyuan said with a smile: "I heard a long time ago that Mr. is a strange man in the world, Mr. ran away from home when he was young, and saved people with swords and doctors, and later left the name of Mr. Wang Wen in Yunxiao City, and sent someone to find Mr. ”
The corner of Mr. Shen's mouth hooked: "So what?" ”
"So Sir should be one of the most important people to His Majesty, and King Liuwang is Sir's nobleman."
Song Mouyuan said: "When I was young, I always thought about how good it would be if I had a noble person in my life, I was from an ordinary background, although I couldn't say that I was cold and hard, but there was no big dealing, I could only look forward to it, thinking, in case I was appreciated by a nobleman, my fate would become better, maybe I thought too many times, sincerity, sincerity is spiritual, so I really met a big person." ”
Mr. Shen looked around, there was no one else on the deck except for the two of them, of course this was unreasonable, there were at least dozens of people with a day ticket number on the ship, and there were hundreds of small traders and people who took a merchant ship to seek establishment, and the people with the sky ticket number should have appeared a long time ago at this moment, and it was enough to explain some problems that no one appeared at this moment.
Mr. Shen relaxed, there seemed to be no other choice but to relax, he leaned on the side of the boat, took out the pipe, stuffed the tobacco, lit it and took a sip: "You go on, this story is good, what is the name of your fateful nobleman?" ”
"He's not just my fate, he's many, many, many."
Song Mouyuan sighed: "He has helped a lot of people like me in his life, he has a bad background, so it is difficult to get ahead, I don't know how many people in this Daning officialdom are grateful to him, when he is most proud, half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are from his disciples, but he is such a person, he helped so many people and ended up with a very ridiculous and pitiful end, those who benefited from him, but they didn't dare to help him, do you say that people's hearts are terrible?" ”
Mr. Shen asked, "Are you reasoning with me?" ”
Song Mouyuan: "How can there be so many truths in the world, the truths are all said by successful people, I am just a small person, the truth I am talking about is naturally not the truth, if the same thing is said by His Majesty today, then it must be the truth." ”
Mr. Shen said, "Why did Your Majesty say such unreasonable things? The truth is the truth, if the truth is still divided into high and low, then this society will be sick, fortunately, Daning is not what you said, the law is the ultimate embodiment of the truth, and it is not tolerated by the law, it is naturally unreasonable, the person you said is the person who is not allowed by the law, Your Majesty has been extrajudicial and gracious, he is still not convinced, what kind of truth do you say? ”
Song Mouyuan thought for a while: "What Mr. said is right. ”
Mr. Shen said: "I rarely lose this kind of thing when it comes to reasoning. ”
Song Mouyuan asked, "Why?" ”
"Because I can tolerate and be free in love and law, I am confident when I reason."
Mr. Shen looked at Song Mouyuan: "So when you reason, it's like a joke." ”
Song Mouyuan pondered, and then nodded: "It does make sense, my appearance just now should be a little ugly, that is not reasonable, but a disgusting look after gaining power, Mr. teaches me that I will remember it in the future." ”
Mr. Shen said: "In many cases, bad people will first plan to use what they think to be the truth to convince people, and if they are not convinced, then they have to use the methods that bad people should use, what about your people?" ”
Song Mouyuan stepped back: "I've been waiting for Mr. all along." ”
There were many people in the cabin who came out, there were probably dozens, these people included the Qiu Liren that Mr. Shen saw yesterday, and there were also small businessmen who looked harmless to humans and animals, they all held crossbows in their hands, and these crossbows were not available to ordinary people, this is a strictly inspected contraband, and it is enough for them to bring them on board to say that there are people on the ship of the ticket number tomorrow who are their internal responses, and these weapons are already on the ship.
Song Mouyuan said: "Sir, is there something I don't understand?" Actually, it's not difficult, after I learned that my husband went south, I followed him from Gyeonggi Province, and I was asking for as long as Mr. was begging, and what Mr. was planning was also what I was seeking, so I could always buy the people that Mr. wanted to use, and most people were not so insistent in the face of money. ”
Song Mouyuan said apologetically: "Mr. should have seen the little guy with the ticket number of the past few days yesterday, he is very clever, these things are all brought on the merchant ship by them in advance, in fact, all the people on this ship have taken my silver, and almost all the people in the diet last night have been drugged, so it will be easy and simple when killing people, I know that although Mr. is seriously injured, he cannot use force, but Mr.'s vigilance is still there, when I order the killing, they are required not to see blood, people like Sir, It's always going to be sensitive to the smell of blood, people are strangled, and the same goes for the guys with the ticket number in those days. ”
Song Mouyuan said: "Before sending Mr. away, I wanted to talk to Mr. first, I was right, Mr. Wen was reasonable and benefited a lot." ”
Mr. Shen knocked his pipe on the side of the ship: "Now is the time to read the eulogy to me?" ”
"Almost."
Song Mouyuan said: "Mr. is a strange person, relying on his own strength to change the pattern of the Daning court, if there is no sir, Daning does not have talents like Shen Leng Meng Changan, sending someone like Mr. away, I am actually a little sad in my heart." ”
He stepped back again, and the men were already behind them.
All the crossbows were raised and aimed at Mr. Shen, which was an unsolvable dead end.
"I have a little donkey and I never ride ......"
Someone suddenly sang in the heights, the voice was not loud, it was so harsh in this scene, everyone subconsciously turned around and aimed the repeater at the top, and everyone saw the man sitting there with two legs dangling, holding a chicken leg in his left hand, so he was vague when he spoke, holding a pot of wine in his right hand, and shook it, as if he was about to finish drinking the wine.
When Mr. Shen saw this person, he first froze for a moment, and then smiled: "When did you come?" ”
"Boarding before you yesterday."
Mr. Shen asked, "So you knew when they killed someone?" ”
"Yes."
The guy looked indifferent: "Kill it, kill it, the dead are either Qiu Liren or your traitor, what does it have to do with me, as long as they don't move two things on this ship, I don't care." ”
He pointed at Mr. Shen: "The first is you, and the second is my donkey." ”
Mr. Shen thought for a moment: "I'm really fucking important. ”
