Gusu Post House, at the southern end of Lin'an, is separated from the towering imperial city wall by a vast government area.

Such a design plan was well thought out, not too far away, not too close, so that it was convenient for the envoys to meet with him. The large area of the government office can prevent the fans who live here from plotting to threaten the imperial city when the moon is dark and the wind is high, but the guards at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain can be condescending and clearly see every move here.

And the official post itself is very high-end.

A dozen or so courtyards were built on a separate plot, the outer wall was nearly a foot high, and there were two entrances and exits, and the fierce guards of the forbidden army were heavily guarded with guns and knives.

Inside the Gaomen compound, blue bricks and blue tiles, vermilion beams and pillars and brown edge wood all show the style of the Great Song Dynasty, the subtleties of the carved railing and jade, the Beique Zhu Palace, exquisite flowers and trees and gorgeous furnishings, but also reflect the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, live here, a grass and a tree, a brick and a tile are all original, but whoever comes, will be amazed by the prosperity and prosperity of the Southern Dynasty.

The eldest grandson Hong lives here, in a very beautiful courtyard.

According to his original intention, he wanted to stay in Meng Heng's house for a few more days to accompany this old man who was about to die.

But inadvertently offended two relatives, forced to have no choice but to take out the prepared national credentials in advance, handed over to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites is very efficient, out of the importance of Dali, he was arranged to live on the same day.

When he came over, he didn't ask anyone to send him, except for a group of Shimen barbarian generals, and the group came over on horseback.

This set of yards, also very elegant, a very large osmanthus set up in the middle, late autumn and early winter, the leaves are all over the ground, the surroundings are quiet and serene, only the autumn wind is cold.

In the middle of the night and lonely, a little man in the inn brought out a tray from the kitchen, covered with two porcelain bowls, covered it with a clean face towel, and hurried out and walked this way.

The huge official post, only one place is lit with lights, the surrounding is dark, like a haunted house, the sound of the night patrol in the distance has a knock without a match, long and secluded, the evening breeze blows through the trees in the courtyards everywhere, the leaves are swaying, and there is a sound of rubbing, it sounds as if there are countless invisible black shadows, making strange sounds in the depths of the shadows of the trees.

People in these years, all believe in the way of ghosts and gods, the little guy walks alone at night, although he has been doing things here for a long time, but he is a little scared after all, the lantern in his hand is swaying with the wind, the candlelight is swaying, the light and shadow are like nothing, and it adds a little fear.

Fortunately, the people who live here tonight are barbarians from the south, and they are easier to get along with, although the people are darker, but the mold is still the mold of the Han people, and they are also very kind, unlike the Mongolians who came from the north last time, they are arrogant and rude, and they don't say anything about messing around, and they beat people at every turn.

The little guy was thinking wildly, and unconsciously approached the courtyard where the lights were on, and he felt a little chilled for no reason.

It's like this every time, as long as you get close to here, you always feel that there are eyes looking at you, looking around, but you can't see people, you can't see people on the walls, trees, and roadsides, but the feeling of being watched by people is always spinning around on the skin, which makes people very scared.

He recited "Amitabha" in his mouth, coughed, strengthened himself, and continued to walk forward.

"Stay!"

In the darkness, a pair of shining eyes suddenly appeared, like a burst out of the ground, and appeared in front of him at once.

The little guy was not frightened, but breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw someone, it meant that his work was done.

It's like this all day, when you approach the gate of the courtyard, someone will come out, take something, and send him away.

Sure enough, the strong man in black took the tray in his hand and said, "Give it to me, you can go back." ”

The little servant thanked him, shrank his head and looked around, tightened his clothes, and ran away.

Yang Xiaolei, who took the tray, watched him go away vigilantly, and then pursed his lips and whistled, his voice seemed to be a night owl sweeping the air, and he didn't know who he was listening to.

Then enter, close the door, and the night outside the door is so quiet again.

Inside the door, in a quiet room, the eldest grandson Hong sat opposite the two, a lone lamp like a bean, and a pot of tea fragrant.

Yang Xiaolei sent the tray in, removed the lid, and the person withdrew, and the taste of Yangchun noodles in the porcelain bowl jumped out at once.

"It smells so good!" Lin Laosi, whose beard was a little denser, grabbed the chopsticks in a hurry, picked up the noodles and ate: "I'm starving!" ”

The eldest grandson Hong smiled and looked at the other person: "Cao Zhisi doesn't eat a little?" ”

"Lord, forget it." The man smiled: "These two bowls of noodles, Brother Lin is not enough." ”

Eldest Sun Hong felt the same way, nodded and said, "Indeed, why don't you have another bowl?" ”

"No need, I have had dinner, Brother Lin came from Fujian Road, he is sleeping in the open air, and when he finishes eating, we will talk about business." Cao Abshidao.

"Might as well as that!" Lin Laosi's mouth was stuffed with noodles, and he puffed out his eyes and said, "You are a bird, a bird." ”

His beard was covered with soup.

Cao Bo, the detainees of the Imperial City Division, thought about it, and said to the eldest grandson: "Today, during the day, Yan Biao and Xie Tang have successively found the way of the Imperial City Division to do Hu Buxian, with the same intention, I hope he can help find out the prince, whether it is to kill people or steal poetry manuscripts, as long as they get rid of the troubles, the two of them are generous, Yan Biao is a box of gold, and Xie Tang is a bag of pearls and jade. ”

The eldest grandson leaned back and shrugged helplessly.

"But the adults live here, but they didn't expect it, although the high-ranking characters here can come in, but once they miss, it is a big crime to attack the envoys, and the next day the adults will have to meet the officials, at this juncture, no one dares to move, Hu does not show concern about these, and does not dare to make a move."

"Eldest grandson, you are really not small, why did you offend the two eldest sons as soon as you came to Lin'an?" Lin Lao was swept away, and in a few words, he wiped out two large bowls of noodles, rolled his tongue and licked his mouth, and he began to speak.

"I didn't want to, it just happened." Changsun Hong recalled it, it seemed that the two incidents happened unclear and meaningless, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Maybe it's fate." ”

"Don't you disbelieve?" Lin Laosi looked at him strangely and said, "If it weren't for Cao Bo as a member of my Tang Sect, you wouldn't have been able to get out so easily this time." ”

"Indeed, Lord Wang, the Imperial City Division is in the Lin'an area, and the people are numb, from the powerful to the peddlers and pawns, there are a lot of eyeliners, if they want to move you, you are really not easy to do." Cao Bo looked outside the door, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Although the dark ghosts under the prince are all elite, they can't stand the number of people, hundreds of people rush up, and no matter how powerful the hero is, he will be defeated." ”

Eldest Sun Hong nodded again and again, arched his hand, and said sincerely: "Cao Zhu Si is benevolent, Eldest Sun Hong is very grateful." ”

Cao Bo hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Non-yes, non-yes, that's not what it means." ”

Lin Laosi also snorted: "The friendship between you and me, this is not a matter of concern." ”

He pushed the noodle bowl away, leaned towards the eldest grandson Hong on the other side of the table, and said mysteriously: "I came here this time, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Lin Laosi's face, once it became serious, was very scary, the eyes between the horizontal flesh and the beard were as big as copper bells, and even the eldest Sun Hong couldn't help but avoid it slightly.

"Brother Lin, but it's okay to talk about it."

Lin Laosi and Cao Bo glanced at each other and sneered: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty is in a state of turmoil, and wants to seize the military power of several pillar countries, and there is chaos in the army, this is an opportunity to start an incident, we plan to take this opportunity to launch it at the same time in Fujian and Lin'an City!" ”
