Nalan and Duguyue were talking, and someone suddenly came behind them to report: "Two shopkeepers, more than 100 rebels are galloping towards Fenglingdu. ”

"How could the rebels allow someone to intercept and kill more than a dozen soldiers from under their noses, and save the scouts of the Shuofang army, such a great humiliation, how could he not come." Nalan knew that the pursuers would come, but he didn't know that it would be so fast.

At this time, Shangguan Yun suddenly came to Wangjiang Tower wearing a hat and a hat, with a steward and an old man behind him, and two sergeants dressed as dealers escorting the prisoners. Shangguan Yun said to Nalan and Duguyue very urgently: "The situation is urgent, I will take the prisoners across the river first." ”

Nalan said: "My lord, this is very good, when the rebels arrive, it will not be possible." ”

"Well, we will immediately ride our horses for ten miles, and then cross to Tongguan. This official is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but urgently needs to report the recent situation to the court as soon as possible. You must work together and rivet in Fenglingdu like nails, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly told us. ”

"I understand that my lordship should move forward quickly, and there must be no delay." Then he instructed the two sergeants: "Do your best to protect your lord and reach the other side thoroughly, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

"Please rest assured, captain, swear to protect your lordship!"

Duguyue arched her hand to the old man at this time and said, "Ah Weng, I have you to thank you!" After the crossing, you should also go back to Guojiazhuang, retire in the ancestral hall, and don't drift on this river. If my father asked, he said it was my idea. ”

The old man suddenly burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Miss, the old man knows." Send the adults across the river and return to Guojiazhuang. ”

Although Duguyue and the old man said a few nonsensical words, which made everyone suspicious, the steward urged: "My lord, hurry up, you can't leave when the rebels arrive." ”

Shangguan Yun arched his hand and said, "Take care!" Then he hurried through the alley, mounted his horse, and rode upstream.

About half an hour later, a roaring sound of horses' hooves galloped in, and the rebels wielding their blades on the streets of Fenglingdu were arrogantly scurrying, rushing into shops and houses at will to disturb them, frightening the people on the street to run away and avoid them. Fortunately, they hadn't started the killing ring yet, when a person who looked like a lieutenant rode out on a horse and shouted, "Please come out and speak." ”

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man with a rather fat body stepped forward and replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no pavilion chief in Fenglingdu, only Lizheng, and the contemptible person is Li Zheng who is in charge of Fenglingdu, surnamed Liu, and his name is Yingying. May I ask what is the matter with the military master? ”

Nalan was thinking about it in such a hurry, and it was a bit dangerous for them to deal with such an emergency when they were new to the situation. If they fight to the death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's purpose of letting them here be ruined. Let's look at the developments.

After listening to Li Zheng's answer, the lieutenant sat on his horse and said, "Liu Lizheng, did a stranger come to your Fenglingdu last night?" ”

"Captain, our Fenglingdu is a traffic artery that travels from east to north, south to west, and the population here is no less than 100 people every day, and I really can't manage this for a small mile."

"But according to our spies, these people who came last night are a little different."

"Captain, I'm really just a Lizheng of this Fengling Ferry, and there is no city at this ferry, people can enter if they want to, I don't have any way."

"Oh! You know where we came from, right? ”

"How can I not know this, from Fan Yang."

"Know? Then why don't you report the situation as it is! ”

"Little, I really don't know, this is just a ferry, captain, don't be embarrassed for me."

"Oh! Am I hard for you? ”

"Small, that's not what I mean!"

I saw that the captain suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife and went straight to Li Zheng's chest and said: "Then what do you mean, haven't you heard of Dayudu?" ”

I didn't know that I was being held against a knife there, but I didn't have a trace of fear, but replied: "I know, you killed someone in Dayudu." ”

"Then you shouldn't hurry up and find out who has passed through Fenglingdu. Which outsiders are in Fenglingdu? ”

Nalan's heart tightened, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Liu Lizheng said again: "Captain, to tell you the truth, I really don't know. ”

"It seems that you have a very hard heart, Lizheng! Today I want to see if you are hard or my knife is hard. With that, the knife against Rizheng's chest pierced his clothes, poked into the flesh, and blood flowed out.

And Li Zheng said unhurriedly: "If you kill me today, An Lushan will kill you tomorrow." ”

"Yo, you dare to call our general's name, I'm afraid that you will die even more miserably. Our general is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, don't you know! Haha"

"Even if he becomes an emperor, he has to give me this face." After speaking, the bystander brought a plate, and on the plate was a waist card, and a book with words written on it. Li said expressionlessly: "Captain, please look! See if you die or if I die? ”

Seeing this, the lieutenant smiled contemptuously: "Today I have to understand why you are so crazy." After speaking, he took the token in the plate, looked at it carefully, his face changed immediately, and he was shocked, and then picked up the paper and read it, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and said: "The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and the villain immediately withdrew the people and horses from Fenglingdu." I'm sorry to disturb Masama. ”

After speaking, he turned over his horse and shouted to the sergeants: "Withdraw!" Fast! The rest of the sergeants were puzzled, but the commander gave the order and had to withdraw.

Li Zheng also seemed to be fine, and when he saw the troops withdrawing, he didn't embarrass them. He paid no attention to the bleeding wound on his chest, and told the man who was with him to put away the token and the notebook and go straight home.

Nalan was very surprised to see this scene, there was this skill here, a waist card and a letter, and he retired more than 100 cavalrymen.

Thinking in his heart, it is no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged for him and Duguyue to be stationed in Fenglingdu at this juncture, with this bull, he is naturally not afraid of the rebels. But what token and book are you holding here?

Nalan thought that since he had come to Fengling to open this wine shop, he would definitely have a relationship with this place in the future, so it was better to take this opportunity to get to know him.

Nalan walked down, met Li Zheng who was about to go back, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Zheng: "The new shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower has seen Li Zheng, and I hope that Li Zheng can come to participate in the opening celebration at three o'clock?" ”

"Boss Xiong (Nalan surnames in Fenglingdu), contemptible people have already heard of it. If you don't participate in the celebration, you outsiders don't come to make trouble for Fenglingdu. After saying that, he didn't say hello, and walked to the street with a big belly.

Duguyue listened to it on the sidelines, and was about to step forward to reason with him for a few words, but was pulled by Nalan, and Duguyue muttered: "Why are you pulling me?" ”

Nalan said to the two "guys" beside him: "Help Mrs. go back and rest!" ”

Duguyue broke free from the support of the "buddy", walked straight into the store and said, "Grandma is not so old!" ”

At three o'clock in the morning, the lights have already been put up in front of the Wangjiang Tower, and the neighbors in the town have come, and the steward is naturally busy, greeting guests and arranging banquets. The steward is actually surnamed Xia, and runs a garment shop at the ferry, and the steward Xia has become Nalan's uncle at this time, and the uncle naturally has a good package of his nephew's origin, saying that his nephew has been doing business in Hedong Road, and because of the mutiny, business is in a depression, so he is ready to go to Hexi. Wangjiang Lou original Huang shopkeeper is an old friend, because of important things to go back to Chang'an, the wine shop is no one to take care of, ask the nephew to come to take care of the next, the nephew is also to help the Huang shopkeeper stay here, everyone knows this troubled times, do business is to pin the head to the waistband of the trousers.

When the neighbors heard what the steward said, they echoed: "This yellow shopkeeper is too, how can he hand over this stall to your nephew with a hand." Now this is a mess, but it is a little difficult to do business. Your nephew is also honest, and he is willing to take on such a stall. ”

"I persuaded him not to take it and go to Chang'an, but he didn't know that the string was wrong, and he said that he wanted to stand on this Fengling Crossing and watch the Yellow River, you said that it was not child's play."

"It's child's play. Look at your niece's wife, quite majestic. ”

"Indeed, it is up to his wife to do everything. Fear of guilt! Haha, let's not talk about him. Let's drink ......"

At this time, Nalan arched his hand in the middle hall and said: "Fellow neighbors, Xiong is not talented, and he took over this Wangjiang Building, which is actually entrusted by his friend Huang...... Xiong doesn't expect it to make much money, but only hopes that he can live here with his neighbors in troubled times and avoid disasters. Let's drink this cup first, and we will rely on the help of our neighbors in the future! ”

After a drink, Nalan continued: Today, the rebel cavalry arrived, thanks to Lord Lizheng, although Lord Lizheng did not come to participate in the celebration, but Lord Lizheng is our big backer of Fenglingdu, so that we are free from military rebellion. ”

"Good! Masasato Keisato! ”

Nalan and the neighbors frequently raised their glasses, dozens of cups were down, their eyes were already hot, their walking was a little unsteady, and their words were more, Steward Xia and Duguyue saw it, afraid that he would drink too much and accidentally confide in the truth, so they stepped forward to persuade him to go back to the room to rest, and it was not appropriate to drink anymore.

Nalan was surprised when he heard this, and Duguyue shouted: "You lady, what can I do if I have a few glasses of wine with my neighbors here." Retire! ”

When Duguyue heard this, she immediately became angry, kicked Nalan on the leg violently, turned her head and went upstairs. Nalan Leng didn't guard against being kicked, he was already a little drunk, and his legs were about to bend down, but Steward Xia saw that he hurriedly helped him up and said, "Madam won't let you drink, don't drink it, follow me into the room to rest." He turned to his neighbors and said, "I'm sorry! Sorry, my nephew is too drunk, drunk, drunk. ”

And Nalan said to Duguyue's back: "You dare to kick me, I will make you look good...... You ......"

Steward Xia hurriedly leaned into his ear and said, "Enough is enough!" ”

Nalan didn't think so when he heard this, and continued to chase and curse and was helped into the house by Steward Xia. And the six pro-soldiers dressed as cooks, running halls, and Xiaoer are also the first time to see Nalan lose his temper like this, and he also saw that Dugu Yichang's kick was hard enough, and this "couple" is afraid that it will be difficult to get along.

When he arrived in the back room, Steward Xia said angrily: "Why are you two so out of shape today?" ”

Nalan stood up suddenly, drunk and speechless: "Uncle, it's okay!" It's just a play to cover people's eyes. Ha ha! ”

"I wonder how drunk a lieutenant with such a little wine. The captain is really pretending! ”

"Uncle, I can still change this point by going to which mountain to perform a drama on which mountain."

"That's good! I think Dugu is a little confused. ”

"Uncle, it's okay! She is a person with a mother-in-law, and it is purely impossible to be assigned to Fenglingdu to partner with me. When I said this to her in public, she didn't react for a while, which is understandable. Uncle rest assured, we are measured and will not forget what we did. ”

"Good! Nephew, I'm relieved. ”

As soon as the words fell, Duguyue's voice came in from outside: "Auntie, I'm not comfortable. ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" Nalan said with a somewhat happy smile.

"Nalan, I kindly advise you not to drink, what are you fierce, I'm not a real lady."

Seeing Duguyue's violent, Steward Xia hurriedly said: "Nephew and lady, stop being angry, stop being angry, don't make a noise." ”

"I'm not your nephew's wife, if he does this again, I will write a letter to Lord Shangguan and ask him to 'divorce his wife'."

At this time, Nalan, who pondered for a while, said: "Dugu Post Chief, this is not child's play, not in the yamen of your Tongguan General Station, this is Fenglingdu across the river. Our lurking was personally arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I was just playing on the spot, so why should you take it seriously? ”

"Then I advise you not to drink, I'm worried that you will lose your words after drinking, and it is also for a long time to lurk!"

"When I say a few words to you in public, it shows that I have the temperament of a businessman. We all have to change the characteristics of the past and equip ourselves to be a different kind of thing, so that it is safer and less easy to detect. ”

When Duguyue heard this, she was silent.

Steward Xia came out at this time and said, "Two, for the sake of the big plan, don't care about each other." After I just came down, I felt that this fake drama was really done, and the bear shopkeeper in this Fengling Wangjiang Building was a person who was afraid of guilt. Haha"

As he was talking, the person who ran into the hall came in and reported: "The scout of the Shuofang army has woken up, captain, do you want to go over and take a look." ”

Nalan said sharply: "There is only a bear shopkeeper here, where is the school captain?" ”

Ran Tang hurriedly said: "Yes! Be! Shopkeeper Bear, I made a note of it. ”

Nalan commanded: "When I entered the house just now, I was already drunk, so I should ask the postmaster, no, Madame to go on a trip!" ”

Duguyue heard the word "madam" and was about to have a seizure again, Nalan hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake, she had to follow Steward Xia to avoid the people who were still in the banquet and came to Steward Xia's house.

In the dark grid, Duguyue saw the scout of the Shuo Fangjun who woke up, he saw that there were strangers around him, he was very vigilant, and asked where it was?

Steward Xia replied: "This is Fenglingdu. ”

The scout looked around for a moment, then at a few more people, "I don't know how to get here, thank you for saving my life"

"Don't thank you, we can save you, we can protect you, and you can take care of your injuries"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Whoever it is, the one who is the enemy of the rebels is our brother."

Hearing this, he relaxed and said, "I am Situ Bo, the captain of Zhiguo under the command of Gu Huaien, a servant of the Shuofang army. ”

Duguyue stepped forward and said, "Captain Situ, you can rest in peace, and when your body is fully recovered, we will send someone to send you back to the team." ”

"But I really don't know who you are?"

"You don't need to know, you just need to know that we are all the way. It's a blessing that you woke up. I started to save you back, and I thought you wouldn't survive. I didn't expect you to wake up in a few hours. ”

"Yes, I also thought that I was caught by the rebels, I was afraid that I would not survive, but I didn't expect a brother surnamed Jiang in Dayudu to rescue me at the risk of death and hide in an abandoned stove pond in his house, and then I came here somehow."

"It was our men who rescued you. You're safe now, just keep it in peace. Don't worry. ”
