Chapter 127: Lies
"Brother Yang, where are you in front?" Tang Xun led the horse.
"Huzhou." Yang Congyi also led the horse.
"When I got to Huzhou City, I sold this horse, but it tossed me a lot." Tang Xun was not small.
"If it weren't for its value, I would have released it a long time ago." Yang Congyi was obviously very dissatisfied with this horse.
This is really a bad horse, can't run fast and too tired, can't run dozens of miles to eat grain and grass, don't give food and grass don't walk, if it weren't for the fact that they can walk a little faster than their own, they would have been disposed of, it's really troublesome to buy a horse, once stopped, don't serve them well, the two can't rest, to the inn to arrange them first, to eat and sleep well, can't be hungry, can't be thirsty, otherwise they will strike, it's really bought two masters.
"What are we going to say when we get back? It's been too long since I left Wuxue, and I don't have a reason to say the past. Tang Xun drank saliva.
"Martial arts is just a few of us, so it shouldn't be like anything to us. It's really not good, so let's go back to the funeral. Yang Congyi was also a little worried, he had been away from Lin'an for more than two months, and if he really investigated it, he lost his student status, and he was busy for two months in vain.
"Funeral? To whom is the funeral for? Tang Xun almost choked on the water.
"My lady." Yang Congyi said it in a word.
"You're married?" Tang Xun had a surprised look on his face.
"Whatever kind of family you become, you say it's made up, and besides, I'm a poor bastard, so I can start a family with anything." Yang Congyi replied lightly.
"You give your lady a funeral, what am I going to mourn?" Tang Xun drank saliva again.
"My lady is your cousin, can you not go?"
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Tang Xun was really choked by the water, and it took a while to breathe: "You really dare to say it!" β
"Make it up like some, otherwise how can it be round, you have a cousin, say one, we are right." Yang Congyi said with a smile.
"My cousin doesn't, but my cousin does, do you want it?" Tang Xun pretended to be angry.
"How old are you, your cousin is too young, your cousin is fine. If you have one, you can contribute one, and if you don't, I'll make one for you. β
"Nope." Tang Xun said it neatly.
"Huai Jin holds Yu Xi, and he can't show it. Take the word Jin, Tang Jin, this is your cousin, remember it carefully, Zhao Jiancheng asked, don't say it wrong. "Yang Congyi is serious, and he really made it up.
Tang Xun stopped and turned to look at Yang Congyi, he couldn't believe it, he was really joking with his mother, even if it was made up, it was not appropriate, if it was spread out, it would be a lot of trouble to get married in the future, and it would be gossip, and it might affect the marriage.
"What's the matter, Brother Tang, do you think this name is not good? Then you take a name. Yang Congyi said with a smile.
"A name is a good name, is it really good to just joke about the lady? Let's change the reason. Tang Xun was a little embarrassed, making fun of the lady, and always felt awkward.
"What's the matter, this is a person who doesn't exist, I haven't got a family, you don't have a cousin, other reasons will be asked, you can't ask if you say you're going to mourn, and the matter of skipping class will be over." Yang Congyi is not interested in starting a family now, the key is that his career has not been successful, and his future wife does not know which mother-in-law is still in the arms, and it is nothing to talk about, anyway, no one knows.
"Okay then, listen to you." Tang Xun thought about it, it really doesn't matter if you mourn someone who doesn't exist.
The two walked again, and when they saw that the horses were almost resting, they continued to get on the horses and urge them, and ran to Huzhou City in one breath, directly inquired about the horse market, and sold the two inferior horses.
Huzhou City also belongs to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, a rich place, very close to Suzhou, Yangzhou, Lin'an, there are many people who do business, and there are naturally a lot of rich people, but the horses exchanged from the Jin country every year are limited, even if they are inferior horses, they can pull the cart and decorate the faΓ§ade. And there are many large households in Jiangnan, which family does not need a few carriages, and the demand for horses is huge, no matter whether the horses are good or bad, as long as they arrive in Jiangnan, someone will buy them.
The two horses were easily sold, not to mention making money, at least not losing money. It's just that a lot of grain and grass money is posted on the road, and the two horses can eat more than people. However, they didn't care, after disposing of the horses, they were much more relaxed, and immediately made purchases in Huzhou City. Clothes are indispensable, summer, autumn, and winter clothes, plus shoes, and daily necessities that you need, and you can buy them while they are cheap.
Everything is as usual in Huzhou, there is almost no big change compared with last year, there is no trace of tension in sight, it seems that the Jin envoys are dying, and there is no impact on the people of Huzhou. This is somewhat different from the situation in Huaixi, from Anfeng to Luzhou to Anqing, there is a somewhat tense atmosphere, and of course the border is the strongest.
The people of Huaixi were harassed and afraid by the Jin people, every time the Jin country came over, they would cross the Huai River, and force the Yangtze River, the land of Huaixi was all under the iron hooves of the Jin people, and Huzhou was far away from the Yangtze River, far away from every battlefield, the Jin people could not beat the Yangtze River, the war had nothing to do with them, over time, they also learned to enjoy Lin'an, and the land south of the Yangtze River was far away from the war for more than a hundred years, and the people had long adapted to a comfortable life, that is, the Jin people went south, to the other side of the Yangtze River, they could also do what to do, the Yangtze River is a natural danger, if the Yangtze River can not hold, What is the use of what they do, it is better to do nothing and live comfortably.
The night view of Huzhou City is very beautiful, but Yang Congyi doesn't like it, he feels that the gentle beauty will kill the fighting spirit.
If he doesn't go, Tang Xun has no one to accompany him, and he doesn't bother to go out alone.
Jiangnan is so beautiful, no wonder Yan Liang never forgot it along the way, and he had to write poems to praise and express his feelings.
Can such a beautiful scenery last forever?
Of course not, all good things will become history, no matter how prosperous Bianjing is, the Jingkang Rebellion will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and Lin'an will be prosperous again, and it will still be destroyed under the war of the Mongols more than a hundred years later, not to mention the small city of Huzhou, which is all clouds and smoke in the long river of history.
Early the next morning, the two left the inn early and rented a carriage to rush back to Lin'an.
Lin'an has not changed much, the defense outside the city has been strengthened, everything in the city is the same, how prosperous it was in the past, and today it will not be reduced by a point.
The slight difference between martial arts and before is that the guards at the door have been replaced by forbidden troops, or six, red clothes, black armor, bright silver guns, standing there majestic.
Yang Congyi and Tang Xun were stopped as soon as they approached, and they couldn't enter and leave the martial arts at will.
They explain their identities, but they can't enter, and they need a certificate to enter and exit, and the certificate has to go to the Guozijian to handle it. The sergeant made it clear that no one could enter without a certificate.
The two had no choice but to go to Guozijian first, but fortunately, Guozijian was not far away, and they arrived through a small alley.
Yang Congyi, the guard in front of the gate of Guozijian, knew that he also received 20 yuan for tea and water last year, and Guozijian is also an official office, so if you want to enter the door, of course you have to be filial.
Yang Congyi took out twenty yuan and stuffed it: "The big brothers are lucky, drink a bowl of water on a hot day." Trouble go in and report that the martial arts students are back, and they want to get a certificate to enter the martial arts. β
The guard took the money, glanced at it, and said, "Wait." "After that, I will go in and report.
After a while, the guard came out: "Go in, find Zhao Jiancheng." β
The two of them went straight in with the package on their backs, but where did they know where Zhao Jiancheng was, and it was a good question.
When I finally found it, it was also hot and sweaty, and I had to rest for a while and clean up before I dared to go in.
"Yang Congyi, Tang Xun!" Zhao Jiancheng looked at the two martial arts students in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.
Yang Congyi hurriedly took the initiative to explain: "My lord, because of something at home, we left suddenly, and we had time to take leave in the future, so we rushed back to Lin'an today." β
Zhao Jiancheng still couldn't believe it, but he still said: "It's good to come back, I thought something happened to the two of you." If you want to leave Wuxue, you have to take leave in advance, and you can say in advance if you have something at home, how much inconvenience will you cause to Guozijian and Wuxue when you suddenly disappear like this. Martial arts has the rules of martial arts, and those who violate it will be punished. β
Yang Congyi replied apologetically: "My lord, it was really sudden, I was too panicked at the time, and I forgot to take leave and went home directly." If there is a penalty, we accept it. β
Seeing his sincerity, Supervisor Zhao said, "What happened to make you so in such a hurry that you didn't even have time to take leave?" β
Yang Congyi replied with a gloomy expression: "I received news that day that my wife died suddenly, so I left in a hurry and went back to the funeral to deal with the aftermath." β
Zhao Jiancheng's expression moved, and he didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Let's mourn and change." There are extenuating circumstances, forget it this time, study hard in the future, and don't slack off. β
Yang Congyi said: "Yes, Lord Xie." β
Zhao Jiancheng turned to ask Tang Xun: "Tang Xun, what's the matter with you?" β
Tang Xun's face was ugly, and he replied hesitantly: "The students are also mourning." β
Zhao Jiancheng's face was cold, obviously he didn't believe it, he looked like an excuse made up, and said coldly: "What are you going to mourn?" β
Tang Xun hurriedly replied: "Yang Congyi's lady is the sister of the student clan, and it was because of the news that we left together." β
Zhao Jian Cheng was still not convinced, and asked, "Is this really the case?" β
Yang Congyi replied: "Exactly, after the student also entered the martial arts school, he asked by chance, and only then did he know that Tang Xun and my wife were of the same clan and clan, and he went back with me, one for mourning, and the other for looking for relatives." β
Yang Congyi and Tang Xun, one Qizhou, one Nanjianzhou, separated by thousands of miles, how can they be relatives. After listening to this explanation, Zhao Jian Cheng believed: "Since everything happened for a reason, I will not be suspended from class this time, but I need to make up for the missing classes by myself, and if I fail the exam, I should be severely punished." β
Yang Congyi and Tang Xun nodded yes, and thanked Zhao Jian Cheng again.
In the end, Supervisor Zhao gave each of them a small iron plate with the word martial arts, and told them to keep it, and if they lost it, they would have to spend the same money to buy it.
The two of them knew about it, so they hurried back.
Out of the gate of Guozi Prison, Tang Xun said: "I was scared to death just now, and I almost missed it." β
Yang Congyi smiled: "Your acting skills are too poor, you need to practice." β
Tang Xun said: "It's always bad to tell a lie, my heart is pounding, and it's hard to speak." β
Yang Congyi said: "You are young and your face is too thin, and if you see more messy things in the future, it won't be so difficult." You still need to go through it, Brother Tang. β
Tang Xun smiled and said, "Brother Yang, aren't you afraid that I really have a clan sister named Tang Jin?" β
Yang Congyi laughed and said: "What am I afraid of, we are conspiring, you really have a clan sister who knows, she is also looking for trouble for you, and she can't find me." β
Tang Xun was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "You calculated well." β
Martial arts, finally back.
