Chapter 111: The Land of Wuyue
The figure jumping off the roof in the distance was thin and thin, and some of them bowed slightly.
Xiao Yi got up and was about to chase after him, but Su Yu stretched out his hand to stop him and stopped his movements.
Su Yu could almost confirm that the person just now was the young man he met last night.
What did he come to do? Su Yu frowned, and looked at the windowsill in front of him, and put a letter that was crumpled to some tatters.
picked it up and gently opened the letter, Su Yu read the contents of the letter, and his face gradually became solemn.
The letter mentioned that the famous Mingyue Building on the rivers and lakes is now divided into two factions, one is headed by the landlord Mingmei and his son Chongming, and the other is headed by the elder Yueling, the old man Chatuo, and the pharmacist Zhulin.
According to the rules of the past dynasties, Mingmei is the successor hand-picked by the first landlord, and she is naturally a legitimate master, but at least half of the people in the building have complained about her, and the reason is not anything else, that is, Mingmei has not made a big mistake in this life, but she has broken the purpose of Mingyue Lou not to serve one person, she has helped Liang Hong too much in her life, and she has been born. to death.
And Yue Ling, who was an elder at a young age, now seems to be more suitable to be the master of a faction in the eyes of everyone, maybe Yue Ling is an ambitious person, and along the way, she does have her own strength to compete with Mingmei.
Besides, the brightness is already old.
The matter of Mingyuelou's struggle for power alone does not make Su Yu worried, what really disturbs people's minds is that now Yueling and Zhulin have encountered some difficulties and have been caught by some people.
The reason for the handle is actually related to her.
Someone with a heart pointed out that Zhulin, the pharmacist beside Yueling, was suspected of colluding with outsiders.
First of all, he had secretly helped Wen Liang and others, and secondly, and most importantly, that pharmacist Zhulin, three years ago, he used a fake token to mobilize the organization in Mingyue Tower to listen to the news, and along the Weishui River, he looked for something for a person from southern Xinjiang.
Su Yu can deduce without pondering that three years ago, what allowed Zhulin to risk the danger of mobilizing the hunting ear and looking for it along the Weishui River was not something rare, but that she knew her life with her own hands at that time.
As for the people from southern Xinjiang, there must be no doubt that Lan Shang was there, when she woke up, Su Yu was still a little strange, knowing in her heart that if she died, there would be someone who collected her body, but for some reason, when there were many people around, Lan Shang was the first to find it, originally she attributed all this to destiny and luck, it seems that Zhu Lin has a heart to protect her.
Zhu Lin is proficient in pharmacology, and may have discovered the secret of the snow hibiscus in her body a long time ago, and the importance of snow hibiscus to southern Xinjiang, Zhu Lin will not be unaware. Judging from the situation at the time, after she was rescued, if she was sent to Wei Niancheng to make a living medicine, it would definitely be worse than death, if she was rescued by the scholar and Da Kui, it would be tantamount to giving the scholar and Da Kui, causing a huge threat to Wei Niancheng and Tang Zhe. Zhulin respected her choice of death, and didn't want to really let her die, since she chose, Zhulin found a way to let her die in Daliang and be reborn in southern Xinjiang.
Now that I look back on it, Zhulin is really good intentions.
Since he was a child, among them, although Zhu Lin is chubby, except for eating and tossing his bottles and cans, Su Yu knows that Zhu Lin's mind is tolerant and delicate, he is not as vicious and flamboyant as she and Tang Zhe, nor as resourceful as a scholar, nor as honest and brave as Da Kui, he has always been a person who seems to be inadvertent, but he is always a person who stands behind them and helps them in the aftermath.
Su Yu thought about it, when she was separated from Zhulin, although she blamed Zhulin for her life, she always knew in her heart that Zhulin had always been their bamboo madman, Zhu Fat, and had never changed.
Now, Zhulin has difficulties because of her, so she will not sit idly by no matter what.
Overnight, Su Yu simply packed up his baggage, chose a good horse from the house, rode it and rushed towards the place of Wu Yue mentioned in the letter.
Before leaving, Xiao Yi had raised objections, that is, some doubts about the authenticity of the content of the letter, Su Yu thought for a moment, and couldn't think of any reason to scare her in her heart, whether it was the young man who drove the corpse, or Mingyuelou, but she really knew that there were 10,000 Zhulin, for the reason for her adventure, now that Zhulin was trapped in Wu Yue, whether it was true or not, she must go, because she was Su Yusu hero, from childhood to adulthood, she was their boss!
Wuyue is a small place, compared to Xichuan Kyoto, it is like a small boat in the river, the people here are mainly living in large groups, the earthen buildings are lined up one after another, each row has a height of three or four floors, and in each floor, there are at least ten families living in the shape of **.
In this Wuyue City, there are many dark passages between the tulou and the tulou, and even underground, there are many dark room corridors arranged in a staggered manner, such as the cunning rabbit has three caves, even if there is a war or a flood or natural disaster, the people who live here can escape from different places.
This is a small pattern in Wuyue City, as for the location of the whole Wuyue City, it is a place that extends in all directions, although it is not enough to be precipitous, but it is a good place for teams and horses from all walks of life to settle down and rest.
And now that Mingyue Tower is in turmoil, Zhulin and they choose to occupy such a place, the other party is not easy to find, but they are extremely easy to retreat.
And it is said that the person who caught Zhulin's mistake and insisted on letting go, originally occupied a neutral position between the two factions, planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but now suddenly targeting Zhulin them, it is estimated that there is also a meaning to replace them.
Things on the rivers and lakes have never been like leading troops to fight wars and court affairs, such conspiracies and tricks are difficult to solve, the people of the rivers and lakes respect martial arts, the strong are the mainstay, all the civil strife in Mingyue Tower, only in one case, it will be completely calmed down, that is, kill everyone who blocks the way, sit on the throne of the lord of the building, every high position in this world, is exchanged for layers of blood, Mingyue Tower, the entire beam, the early stage of stability and prosperity, it must be a killing that flattens all the bulges.
Su Yu admits that she is not a compassionate person, and she is willing to help Zhulin, even if her hands are soaked in blood.
As for the young man who drove the corpse, Su Yu didn't know if he was originally from Mingyue Tower, or if he had anything to do with Zhulin, so he only followed the young man's instructions and came to Wu Yue.
There is no need to deliberately look for it, Su Yu knows that Zhulin and them must be staring at any wind and grass in this city, she is a woman rushing around, which is a little weird, so she doesn't need to look for it, Zhulin will definitely find her.
I found a family in the inn of Tulou, and when it was just dark, the door of the room was gently knocked a few times.
Su Yu opened the door and saw that the shopkeeper was standing at the door with a kettle.
Su Yu didn't let the little second put the kettle into the house, just watched the little second look around cautiously, and then said to Su Yu: "Girl, there is a master at the bottom who is invited." ”
"Hmm." Su Yu nodded, turned around and took Feng Ming with him, and with the little two, one by one, towards the underground of the tulou.
After walking for a while, Su Yu looked at the cautious and vigilant Xiao Er who deliberately pretended to be indifferent: "Now that it's about to frost outside, if you pretend to look for me again, remember to heat the water in the copper kettle in your hand." ”
When Xiao Er heard this, he looked at the kettle in his hand, the water was full, and it was about to come out of the spout, but whether it was the pot or the water, there was no sporadic heat coming out.
Sometimes, where there are flaws, the more I look at it, the more I feel that the flaws are bigger, and the little two who seem to be inexperienced are the same, and they are said to be shortcomings, when they meet people, they hurriedly cover the kettle in their hands with their sleeves inadvertently, Su Yu feels that this is a bit of a desire to cover the meaning, it is better to carry it generously, there are many strange things in this world, maybe there are really people, and they love to use cold water in cold weather.
As Xiao Er walked down an unknown number of floors, just when Su Yu felt that he was about to go down to the eighteenth layer of hell, Xiao Er's steps finally stopped outside a hidden iron door.
Xiao Er stretched out his hand, held the iron ring on the door, and slowly knocked three times, and then, rhythmically, after three quick knocks, he pushed the two iron doors open.
Walking in, Su Yu sighed, the person who created this Mingyue Tower must be a thoughtful person, just like the gathering point in Kyoto, this Mingyue Tower looks ordinary on the outside, and it is a different scene when you go in.
In the ancient porcelain blue and white pots, such as the kind seen in Kyoto, the snow-white plants that do not see the sun all year round, and the antique calligraphy and paintings that have been lost by famous artists are all displayed in the corridor of the room in response to the scenery.
While walking forward, Su Yu looked up, the lamp above his head was made into layers of lotus flowers, every time he walked under the lamp of the lotus, the whole lotus would be soft and shining and completely bloomed, and after walking, it would slowly converge and become a half-open hazy posture, its craftsmanship was ingenious, as if it was not a side material, it was really just broken from the pool, a blooming lotus.
But in this cold season now, in addition to the perennial undefeated lotus flower on the head, where can you see any hibiscus blooming.
Along the corridor, to the innermost room, the bamboo door slowly slid open to both sides, Su Yu looked over, on the top of the white jade throne, there was a bewitching figure, as if he had expected it, seeing Su Yu come in, he waved his hand to let the little two retreat, smiled at Su Yu, and greeted: "Miss Su, long time no see." ”
Su Yu raised her eyes to look at Yue Ling on the white jade seat, and saw that she was still charming and beautiful, but she was a little more restrained and charming than the skin she wore before.
Nodding, Su Yu responded: "Indeed, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
