Chapter 125: In Wuyi Alley
"Qianyin, I need to go back immediately and make arrangements, how long will you stay in Jinling?" Su Lian immediately asked Luo Qianyin.
"I'll stay as long as Brother Lian stays......" Luo Qianyin replied gently. Su Lian smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then you wait for me, don't say goodbye without saying goodbye......."
Luo Qianyin chuckled and nodded in agreement. On the way back to the inn, Su Lian found a Yue's garment shop, and a female shopkeeper in her thirties came out to greet him.
"Tell you Second Miss, just say that Su Lian has something urgent to find her, please ask her to come to the Valley Inn to find me after hearing the news!" Su Lian explained.
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement. He had just returned to the inn, but found Yue Binfen already waiting in the hall.
Word spread so fast? Su Lian muttered in his heart and walked over.
"Childe, there's new news again!" When Yue Xian saw Su Lian, he greeted him and said in surprise.
"Is it about Motuchi?" Su Lian asked.
"Not bad!" Yue Binfan said: "It turns out that Mo Tuchi secretly arranged for some people from the rivers and lakes to go to Lu'an County to cooperate with the generals of Luzhou Road and Anfeng Road......
"Well, I already know about this...... Su Lian sighed.
"Childe knows?" Yue Xian said strangely, and then relieved, Su Lian was not a person waiting for help, there must be other channels, so he said: "According to the news from the eldest sister, there have been a lot of people from the rivers and lakes of unknown origin in Lu'an County recently, and some of them have been directly recruited by Sun Moon Village, I am afraid that there will be spies sent in by Mo Tuchi among them...... Su Lian nodded and said: "I estimate that some of these people are preparing to carry out internal and external strategies, and some are trying to obtain the road map to enter the mountain." Hmph, this Mo Tuchi, really cunning and scheming, for the sake of a sun and moon village, he is willing to spend so much thought, if we don't deal with it well, I'm afraid I can't live with his arrangement......" His eyes flashed, and he was arrogant, and his fighting spirit was aroused under the challenge, which made Yue Fan stunned.
"Colorful, you tell the eldest lady immediately, ask her to pass on this news to Ma Fei, and only let Ma Fei know alone, and at the same time tell Ma Fei, just observe secretly, even if there is anything suspicious, don't startle the snake, and wait for me to come back......" Su Lian said to Yue Fenfen.
"When is Childe going back?" Yue asked in a colorful way.
"If it's fast, it's three days later, and if it's slow, it's five days ......later," Su Lian said in a deep voice: "After tonight, I'm going to take the time to go to Shen's house in Jiangnan and visit Old Man Shen......"
"Okay, then I'll arrange it right away!" Yue Fanfan turned around and left after speaking, and he was in a hurry, resolute and resolute.
Su Lian sat in the hall for a while, thinking back and forth about any possibility in his mind, making sure that nothing was missed, so he beckoned Xiao Er to come over, ordered a few side dishes, and dealt with lunch first.
"Su Lian!" A loud scream startled Su Lian, who was eating vegetables, and the unchewed beef was stuck in his throat, and he immediately coughed non-stop.
When I looked up, Ma Xiuying was standing at the table menacingly, and the Yan Han brothers and sisters were also following behind, pursing their lips and snickering.
"Okay, you actually carried us behind our backs and secretly ate alone here?" Ma Xiuying sat down and said loudly.
Su Lian took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said helplessly: "Girl Ma Bigfoot, please don't be surprised, okay?" Scared to death personal knows? ”
"I don't care, we didn't eat it, you have to treat this meal......" Ma Xiuying puffed out her cheeks, beckoned to Xiao Er in the distance, and ordered a lot of dishes.
"Wow, you haven't eaten for a few days, have you become a starving ghost, aren't you afraid to kill you by calling so many at once?" Su Lian said in surprise.
"You're stupid......" Ma Xiuying pointed behind her and said, "It's not me who eats alone, there are still so many mouths to serve......" and then laughed and said: "Anyway, you have a treat, you don't eat for nothing, you don't eat for nothing, you eat for nothing, hahaha......"
"I think you're going to be an idiot after eating!" Su Lian rolled his eyes and asked the Yan Han brothers and sisters to sit down as well, although he said so, he then added a pot of wine.
Yan Shuang's complexion has gradually recovered, Su Lian glanced at her, saw that her face was already flushed, and said with a smile: "Shuang'er's complexion is getting better and better, congratulations......
"Well, I can eat a cow now!" Yan Shuang looked up and said proudly.
"I think you can afford to blow a cow...... Ouch! As soon as Yan Han spoke, Yan Shuang hit him on the head with chopsticks, staring and pouting, which was cute.
Everyone was in vain, and Su Lian laughed and said: "Whether you can eat cow or brag, it's something worth celebrating, come, let's have a drink!" He took up his glass, and the crowd immediately clinked glasses and drank them all.
Yan Shuang poured a full bottle of wine, stood up again and said to Su Lian: "Childe, although a glass of wine can't express my gratitude, but no matter what, I want to thank Childe!" I salute you for this cup! After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Su Lian to respond, so she raised her head and drank dry.
"Yesterday, the cold also said that you drank very well, and sure enough, the heroine of the female middle school......" Su Lian took the cup and drank it, and said: "But this is only one cup, don't come again, I'm afraid that women will get drunk!" When Ma Xiuying heard this, she immediately glared at Su Lian, and picked up the cup unconvinced, and said, "Then I will only respect you for this cup, and I will never drink with you in the future!" ”
"Okay, that's what you said!" Su Lian answered, picked up the wine glass and dried. Ma Xiuying smiled slyly and said, "If I don't drink with you, I can still drink with others, hehe......" turned his head to Yan Shuang and smiled: "Come, Xiaoshuang, let's drink......" Su Lian rolled his eyes again, snorted, and said disdainfully: "You drink slowly, don't choke......"
"Ahem...... Ma Xiuying hurriedly replied, immediately choked, coughed and said, "Just kidding, I will choke on wine?" I've never seen this girl kill in all directions......"
"I've never seen a big killing, but I've seen it shouting and shouting to grab the sky......" Su Lian muttered.
Everyone laughed again, Yan Shuang also giggled, and responded: "Yes, Sister Ma yells as soon as she drinks too much, and it was the same last night, but it scared me, and I didn't dare to look up to see people along the way, hehe......"
"Xiaoshuang, it's not a good brother, let's join Su Lian to knock me down......" Ma Xiuying narrowed her eyes and said fiercely to Yan Shuang.
"Okay, I was wrong Sister Ma, I salute you a cup to make amends!" Yan Shuang hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said pitifully.
"Uh-huh, okay, I have a lot of adults, after drinking this cup, I am still a good brother......" Ma Xiuying said with a smile, and had a drink with Yan Shuang.
This meal, several people were all drunk. After Ma Xiuying finished eating, she took Yan Shuang out for a walk, and Yan Han followed behind.
Su Lian went back to the room to rest for a while, and then took Cheng Mo to Wuyi Lane to familiarize himself with the environment there.
In the middle of the evening, Su Lian and Cheng Mo went downstairs together, and Yue Fanfan was already waiting downstairs. The two nodded, and set off towards Wuyi Lane.
When they arrived at the Fuji Teahouse, Han Shantong and the others were all surprised, and they smiled and greeted Su Lian with a fist. Yue Fanfan covered his face with a white towel when he arrived at Wuyi Lane, covering people's eyes and ears.
"It's really an honor for Master Su to come......" Han Shantong said with a smile. Su Lian also smiled slightly, and said, "Old Man Han, speaking of which, in fact, I am an outsider, I don't know why you invited me to participate in your meeting?" Han Shantong shook his head and said with a smile: "Young Master Su, since I first met you in the West Market that day, I can see that Young Master Su is definitely not a very person. Meticulous, broad-minded, courageous and resourceful, he is indeed the best among young people now. I believe that you are a human being, so naturally I will not be wary of you. Besides, there is nothing unpleasant about our gathering today, it is just a group of friends sitting down to drink and talk......
"Since that's the case......" Su Lian pondered and asked directly: "Old Man Han, I want to ask you about someone......"
"Oh? Who is Su Gongzi looking for? Han Shantong asked curiously.
"This person is the woman who attacked Yilian Zhenban on the day of the birthday banquet, claiming to be Wei Yanzi......" Su Lian smiled, seeing Han Shantong's eyes flashing, his heart was relieved, and he still asked, "I wonder if she is friends with you?" Can people be here? Han Shantong was stunned for a moment, and asked carefully, "I don't know why Su Gongzi is looking for her?" Su Lian laughed at himself and said: "Don't hide it from Old Man Han, I was in the birthday banquet that day, this woman took the initiative to warn me, I just want to meet and thank you, if she is in trouble, I will also help in return, that's ......all" Han Shantong nodded appreciatively, and said: "Su Gongzi is really affectionate and friendly, and the grace of dripping water is reciprocated, which is the foundation of our rivers and lakes." It's just ......" Han Shantong hesitated for a moment, and then said, "She is not here, and she has not revealed her secrets to us. At the birthday banquet, we and her just take what we need......" Han Shantong said this, Su Lian could only choose to believe it, after all, he had no reason to believe in himself.
However, it is very likely that this woman is still hidden in Wuyi Alley, and Han Shantong does not know about it.
"Old Man Han just said that everyone takes what they need?" Su Lian was surprised and asked, "Could it be that you didn't want to kill Yilian Zhenban that day?" Han Shantong sighed, looked back at Liu Futong and Li Er who were left in the room, nodded and responded: "Yes, we just want to take Na Jialu's life to relieve the worries of the river...... "Jia Lu?
Su Lian remembered the momentum of the imperial court mentioned by Yue Binfan, and to get rid of the Yellow River floods, Jia Lu will be the main person in charge, and when the time comes, it is certain that migrant workers will be recruited, and a large number of laborers will be certain.
This kind of river control project will inevitably cause public resentment, and it seems that Han Shantong and others want to solve Jialu in order to deter the imperial court from giving up river control.
It's just that this method of cutting off the water with a knife cannot be done once and for all, but will deepen the confrontation between the people and the imperial court, and the Yellow River will not be cured, and it is still the people who will suffer.
Thinking of this, Su Lian could only shake his head and smile bitterly, at this moment he didn't want to enlighten and persuade Han Shantong, after all, this was an internal matter that they discussed together, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to evaluate it, so he only smiled and asked, "Jia Lu was also at the birthday banquet that day?" Is it the black-faced and unsmiling one on the chief or the chubby one with a white face? ”
"It's the ...... with a black face" Han Shantong shook his head and sighed: "It's just that the luck is not good, we didn't succeed......" Su Lian also shook his head and smiled.
At this time, Han Lin'er appeared at the door and said to Han Shantong: "Dad, everyone has arrived!" Han Shantong nodded and smiled at Su Lian: "The time has come, I'll take Su Gongzi up to meet all the friends on the road!" ”
"Okay, Mr. Han, please!" Su Lian raised his hand and asked Han Shantong to go first. Liu Futong, Li Er, Yue Fenfen, Cheng Mo, Yan Han and others all followed back and went upstairs together.
When he went up to the top of the building, Su Lian was taken aback, the not spacious roof, there were already more than 30 people, men and women, old and young, leaning or sitting, most of them looked reverent, extremely enthusiastic.
