Chapter 14: The Plate Appears
That night, Qin Mu was left in He Zhu's mansion. He Zhu also thoughtfully sent someone to the inn to retrieve their luggage - Jia Hongxian followed, otherwise he would not be at ease.
Qin Mu and the two ladies were all frightened enough by He Zhu.
Jia Hongxian was afraid that He Zhu would give his granddaughter to Qin Mu. Although Qin Mu introduced himself, he said that he was his wife, but there can be many women in this time and space, and Qin Mu is not the only one who has her. And Jia Hongxian has not really had sex with Qin Mu until now, so naturally he doesn't want another woman.
Of course, Fang Haoyin is also thinking the same way.
Qin Mu was different from what they were worried about. He was frightened by He Zhu's appearance.
He Zhuchang is ugly, and he is nicknamed "Ghost Head". Of course, it doesn't matter if you have a relationship with literary friends, but if you want to give your granddaughter to me, it's not to scare me to death.
Qin Mu hurriedly refused.
He Zhu felt a deep pity. Such a good little Langjun, so brilliant, will definitely become famous all over the world. He was already married, but so what? Isn't it unusual for a big husband to have three wives and four concubines, like himself, isn't it just a group of women?
His granddaughter followed Qin Mu, wouldn't she live a very happy life in this life.
However, He Zhu did not give up, such a good talent, he couldn't let it go.
In fact, He Zhu didn't know that he had already prevented a disaster for Qin Mu.
Qin Mu didn't know that he had already been targeted by the people sent by Chen Zhizhou. Now Chen Zhizhou has just arrived in Suzhou and has not yet gained a firm foothold, and after two days, his subordinates are familiar with it, and then touch the foundation of Qin Mu, if there is no accident, he will also get the Jia sisters with robbery.
However, Qin Mu unexpectedly entered He Zhu's mansion, which had to make Chen Zhizhou cautious.
Jia Hongxian said that he wanted to meet his elders, could it be that He Zhu was their elder?
If so, things are somewhat tricky. With Chen Zhizhou's status, although he is the number one in Suzhou, he can't say who wins or loses against the head snake in Suzhou.
He Zhu held a banquet every day and had a very happy conversation with Qin Mu.
At first, it was just poetry, and Qin Mu knew more about poetry than He Zhu, so naturally he wouldn't wear a goof. Then the more we talk, the more we go deeper and more extensive.
Qin Mu came from later generations, and his views on the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty were different, and many times he was greatly inspired by He Zhu and had a refreshing feeling.
He Zhu felt that this son was simply a genius, and he was definitely not a thing in the pool.
He called his children and even grandchildren to meet Qin Mu. Maybe one day his juniors can take advantage of today's opportunity to get Qin Mu's care.
Qin Mu dealt with it for several days in a row before he finally got free and went to He Zhu's library to find what he wanted.
He has the printing materials of Jingyang Wuzun, but it is not easy to show He Zhu.
This thing can be understood at a glance, co-authoring your talent is fake, and looking for antiques is real.
It would be nothing if Qin Mu showed He Zhu at the beginning, but he didn't say it at the beginning, and he couldn't mention it now.
Fang Haoyin also left Suzhou today and went to Hangzhou to find her father Fang La. She took away a piece of printing material and wanted to find it for Qin Mu in Hangzhou.
Qin Mu thinks this is also good, what if there is someone in Hangzhou who understands this? After all, this is the Great Song Dynasty, which is much closer to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Only Jia Hongxian was left to help by Qin Mu's side, but the two of them moved quickly and quickly finished most of the books.
They read books very simply, only looking for keywords. First of all, there is no need to consider collections like "Tang Poems" and "Song Ci", and secondly, there is no need to read collections like "Taiping Guangji".
"Taiping Guangji" is a set of books, which contains a large number of articles similar to current novels, which are too far from Qin Mu's requirements.
The two of them were bent on finding "Local Chronicles".
There are a lot of "Local Chronicles", but Qin Mu looks very difficult. Ancient texts are too difficult to understand, this is not ancient poetry. Jia Hongxian is not good at this. However, it is difficult for Qin Mu to be overcome, he only looks for keywords.
"Chu State, nobles, Jing, sheep five". It is equivalent to a keyword search.
Some information from the Chu State has been found, and there are many nobles, but for the time being, "Jingyang Wu" cannot be found.
There are not many books left, and Qin Mu estimates that he will be able to read them all in another day. It's not early now, and it's almost time to hold the lamp, He Zhu invited them to the banquet.
Now He Zhu eats with Qin Mu at every meal, and the conversation at the banquet is the old man's favorite. He felt that Qin Mu was simply a ghost, although he looked like a "ghost", but Qin Mu was a "ghost" in his head.
How could he know so much, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't know. But how old is he? Could it be that it was all taught by his teacher Li Desheng?
Having such a disciple shows how powerful the teacher is. It's a pity that Qin Mu said that the teacher had passed away and couldn't see him, which was a pity.
Now I can only communicate with my disciple, but fortunately, my disciple is also very powerful, and I feel that I am not as good as the young Qin Mu when I live at such an old age.
He Zhu wanted to say "today", but Qin Mu only wanted to talk about "ancient" - he was in a hurry to find information about Jing Yangwu.
He Zhu was anxious, what did he mean by saying that Chen Sesame was rotten grain: "Merit, could it be that your teacher wants you to trace back to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"The past is all stories, and the present is life." He Zhu's words were really philosophical, and Qin Mu could only nod.
"Cheng Lang, my cousin is just a white ......" Jia Hongxian didn't want Qin Mu to talk more with this old man, so many days and endless chatting every day, wouldn't it be bad to sleep with him while Fang Haoyin was away?
"Mrs. Jia, this is a bad word." How could He Zhu understand Jia Honghong's thoughts, he talked about Xingzhengnong: "Wenzheng said publicly, if you live in the temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about the king, although the merit is still white, but he is so talented, who can stop him in the future." β
He asked the maid to put pen and ink, and immediately took up the pen and wrote a letter, then stamped his own private seal, and handed it to Qin Mu.
"Merit, this letter was written by the old man to Li Hanlin in the court, he has an old relationship with the old man, you take this letter to see him, you will naturally get ahead."
It turned out to be a letter of recommendation. Qin Mu looked up and looked up, it was written to Li Bangyan.
He knew that Li Bangyan was one of the famous "Six Thieves" of the Great Song Dynasty. This is all the history of his misdeeds.
can be called the "six thieves", the natural energy is not small, with this letter of recommendation from He Zhu, coupled with the energy of one of the "six thieves", it is really easy for me to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty.
But Qin Mu didn't have this plan at all, so he had to thank the old man for his kindness.
He respectfully put away the letter - whether he is an official or not, this is the attitude of a person, and said to He Zhu: "Thank you for accepting the proposal." β
There is no feast in the world. Unknowingly, he was left by He Zhuqiang for seven days, Qin Mu couldn't wait any longer, and finally left He Mansion and Suzhou on this day.
I found nothing in Suzhou, except for stealing two poems and meeting a famous literati, but I didn't get any clues about Jingyang Wuzun Pan.
Qin Mu is going to Xiuzhou, that is, Jiaxing in later generations, which is one step closer to Hangzhou.
Xiuzhou is currently the forefront that Qin Mu can reach, and further forward is Hangzhou, which has been occupied by Fang La.
When he arrived in Xiuzhou, Qin Mu was going to do two things, one was to continue to read "Local Chronicles", and the other was to contact local forces, similar to Jia Honghong's role in the four streets of the capital, and find some local snakes to think of a way.
There are people living in two worlds in any time and space, and the Great Song Dynasty is no exception. Snakes, insects, rats and ants also have to live, and tomb robbers are still good local.
If the tomb robbers are contacted, Qin Mu is ready to spend a lot of money to hire them and try them everywhere as his tentacles - this is also an impossible way.
Suzhou is still a bit normal in the market, Xiuzhou has been fully alerted, and the atmosphere is very tense.
Nine out of ten shops were closed on the streets, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, but the city was crowded with soldiers. Tong Guan's vanguard has already arrived in Xiuzhou.
However, at this time, the city gates were not closed, and the people were free to enter and leave the city.
Qin Mu and Jia Hongxian acted separately. Qin Mu went to find the local "Local Chronicles", and Jia Hongxian went to contact the underground forces.
For several days, neither of them gained anything.
The local book collectors are far inferior to He Zhu, Qin Mu gave a lot of gifts and was allowed to watch, but he had seen almost all the books in He Zhu's mansion here, and there were no new clues.
Jia Hongxian is also making slow progress. She is not from Jiangnan, although she is very popular in the name of locking four streets in Bianliang City, but who knows her in Xiuzhou?
Seeing that four days had passed, it could be said that there was no progress at all, Qin Mu couldn't help but be a little anxious.
When I was ready to think of a new way, things took a turn for the better.
Fang Haoyin is back.
In addition to being Qin Mu's next stop, Xiuzhou is also the contact location that was set with Fang Haoyin in advance.
Fang Haoyin brought back a great news for Qin Mu, she not only asked about the whereabouts of Jingyang's five venerable plates, but also took this treasure in her hand.
Qin Mu was extremely surprised. Judging by the situation in later generations, the Jingyang Five Zun Plate should still be in the tomb and has not been stolen, how can Fang Haoyin already get it?
But Fang Haoyin didn't lie to her, because Fang Haoyin took back a painting, which painted the whole picture of Jingyang's five statues.
Although the printout materials Qin Mu gave her had the appearance of Jingyang's five plates, they were taken casually at Dong Yuqiong's treasure appreciation party, and only the statues did not have plates.
Now Fang Haoyin gave him a picture with a respectful plate, and at first glance it is one. This fully shows that the Jingyang Five Zun Plate is indeed in Fang Haoyin's hands.
However, Fang Haoyin didn't bring it over, she wanted to ask Qin Mu to go to Hangzhou with her to pick it up in person.
Go to Hangzhou, it is a place of war, just look at the current appearance of Xiuzhou, it is so nervous before encountering swords, how terrifying Hangzhou should be. In a city where everything is chaotic, personal safety is not guaranteed at all.
"Brother-in-law, can't you trust slaves?" Fang Haoyin said anxiously: "You and your sister saved the slave's life, will the slave harm you?" β
"Sister," Jia Hongxian snatched the conversation and said, "Since you know that your cousin saved your life, why don't you bring the Zunpan over?" Why do you have to go to Hangzhou, it's not a good place right now. β
Qin Mu's safety is the only thing Jia Hongxian values. Hangzhou is so chaotic, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and my cousin is not a real immortal.
Fang Haoyin's face turned red, but fortunately, because she was in the city with a blackened face, it was not easy to see the embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, sister, the slave wants to ask her brother-in-law to save her father." β
Qin Mu was taken aback, you think too highly of me. How can I save Fang La. Now Tong Guan's army is coming over in a steady stream, according to the historical process, Fang La will attack Xiuzhou, which is where they are staying now, followed by Fang La's defeat, and then he was hunted down all the way, and finally captured alive.
I'm already standing on the time node, and I'm about to run away, can I still jump into the fire pit at this time?
Hangzhou is not only dangerous now, but will be even more dangerous in the future. Now it's just Fang La's rebellious soldiers, and Tong Guan's officers and soldiers will be added in the future.
Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, a wall like a fine sieve on both sides, where do you run?
It's really not going to work.
Qin Mu's face was embarrassed. It's a trip to muddy waters that I've never been prepared to wade. He already has a world from which he can live as he pleases in the twenty-first century.
Traveling the world used to be a dream, but now it's an easy reality.
If he didn't fulfill his ultimate ideal but was looking for death in the Great Song Dynasty, Qin Mu really couldn't find a reason.
Jingyang's five plates are important, but their own lives are even more important. A friend's business has to be done, but it has to be prioritized, and no matter what, Jinsha will not ask him to exchange his life for a respectful plate. It's just a matter of robbing a tomb, and there is no danger with the equipment of the twenty-first century, so Golden Sand wants Qin Mu to go.
If Jin Jinsha knew the current situation, there was no need for Qin Mu to say, he would be the first to object, and he would resolutely oppose it, and he would also pull Qin Mu away.
Huang Dashao just can't look at the Luo brothers and sisters, and if he wants to block them, it's a trivial matter, how can he let his friends play with their lives.
"Sister, brother-in-law," Fang Haoyin's voice was low, very sad: "The slave also knows what to do." The grace of saving lives, not to mention that one thing, even ten times more than a hundred times cannot be repaid. Before the change, the slave must have taken it to his brother-in-law early, but what the brother-in-law said to the slave that night made the slave so scared. β
What words? Jia Hongxian didn't know, and looked at Qin Mu curiously. Did you secretly scare her behind your back? How to scare?
At this time, it was not easy to explain, Qin Mu said: "Good sound, let's not mention this first, let me ask you, how did you get this thing?" β
Fang Haoyin returned to Hangzhou, and after meeting Fang La, he went to the warehouse first. It's not a warehouse for rice and white flour, it's a warehouse for storing the treasures that Fang La snatched.
This was obtained by Fang La's siege of the city, if it weren't for Fang Haoyin being Fang La's daughter, she wouldn't have been able to enter.
The warehouse was piled up, Fang Haoyin searched for it, and finally the hard work paid off and found Qin Muyao's Zunpan.
Fang Haoyin is more familiar with this time and space than Qin Mu, and is more familiar with Jiangnan.
Zhu Mian not only robbed the living but also the dead in Jiangnan. He didn't know how many ancient tombs he had dug up, but Fang La's destruction of Hangzhou was so fast that Zhu Mian didn't have time to transfer his goods, and all his things fell into Fang La's hands.
Fang Haoyin knew that the treasure Qin Mu was looking for was in the ancient tomb, but she didn't know Qin Mu's experience in the later life, so according to her judgment, it was likely that the thing was dug up by Zhu Mian and then obtained by her father.
As it turned out, Fang Haoyin was happy in his heart. At least I can help my brother-in-law do something.
But then Fang Haoyin hesitated.
Qin Mu's words that night seemed to be engraved in her heart, and this Hangzhou City was really as her brother-in-law said, completely out of order.
Except for a limited number of soldiers and horses under Fang La, who were trained, the rest were all composed of hungry people. The human mind is often just a thought. Before, they were ordinary people who kept to themselves, but once they started to rebel because they couldn't survive because of hunger, they immediately became thugs.
These people are huge, and they followed Fang La into Hangzhou City, robbing things when they saw them, and killing anyone who didn't like them, and nearly one-third of the population of Hangzhou City died in a short period of time.
Rivers of blood are not enough to describe the horrors of the city.
Seeing this situation, Fang La thought about controlling it, but he couldn't control it - those hungry people rebelled against him with their heads, couldn't they go into the city to grab something and kill a few people?
In private, I don't want to control it. There is only so much food, and a dead person has an extra bite to eat. Food is a material, and it is the minimum foundation for him to fight the world. If there is no food, the soldiers can't bring it.
So with Fang La's acquiescence, the city of Hangzhou became chaotic day by day.
Even if Fang Haoyin wasn't strong in martial arts, she wouldn't have been able to see Fang La, even if she had killed a few chaotic peopleβshe would have been killed by chaotic people on the way.
Such a hell on earth made Fang Haoyin can't help but think of Qin Mu's words that night.
Although Brother Qin hadn't seen it with his own eyes, what was not what he had expected in front of him.
He could anticipate what was in front of him, and he could also anticipate the end of his father. Doesn't this mean that Fang La will definitely die?
How could Fang Haoyin watch her father wait for death, she had to stop this from happening. Qin Mu must be invited over to persuade his father, and it is not enough, he must show Fang La a way out!
Brother-in-law can definitely do it, he is so capable!
Qin Mu listened to Fang Haoyin say all this, it was really a little difficult to decide.
He didn't care about Fang La's life or death at all, he didn't even know what Fang La looked like, just like a little boss he hadn't seen in the game, which had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care if he lived or died.
Fang Haoyin is different, it's okay when she's not in front of her, it's just a miss when she can't see it, but she is standing in front of her alive, how can she watch her die? If I don't take her away, this girl will definitely not survive.
Even Fang La was captured alive in the end, can Fang Haoyin still run?
"No, my cousin can't go to Hangzhou." Jia Hongxian flatly refused: "Sister, if you have a conscience, bring that thing over, and don't say anything else." β
When Fang Haoyin heard this, he looked at Qin Mu in disappointment, and two lines of tears slid across his face, like two streams on the black earth.
She knew that her request was very unreasonable, Qin Mu had no reason to help her, he didn't owe him anything, on the contrary, he owed someone a life.
All kinds of helplessness, all kinds of reluctance. She is going back, and even if her father fails, even if he dies, she will be by her side as a daughter.
This may be the last time I will see Qin Mu in this life.
Suddenly, Fang Haoyin plucked up his courage and hugged Qin Mu, ignoring Jia Hongxian's surprised eyes, and kissed Qin Mu deeply on the lips.
"Brother-in-law, the slave is gone, the things will be delivered, and you wait here for two days."
After saying that, Fang Haoyin seemed to have made up his mind, sobbing and turning his head to walk out of the door.
"Wait, I'll go with you!"
