Chapter 18: Qian Xun
Of course, his martial arts are still due to Mao An.
So even if it's a counterattack or a dodge move.
Mao An had already thought of it to him before he took out the sword.
So when Xiao Nansheng's body leaned to the left to avoid Mao An's sword peak.
When he used another move to reverse the black tiger's heart.
Mao An suddenly followed the sword edge.
Then he caught Xiao Nansheng off guard.
He had to retract his moves and go straight back.
Then he pretended to kneel on the ground and begged for mercy again and again: "Teacher, teacher, keep people under the knife!" ”
Mao An put away his sword, and then chuckled and said, "It's still so stupid."
How many times have I taught you this trick.
I still can't hide. ”
Xiao Nansheng scratched his hair embarrassedly.
Then he asked, "Teacher, why are you here?" ”
Mao An looked at Zhang Meng and said, "I met their caravan outside the Saiwai.
I've heard that they're asking around for your whereabouts.
I didn't worry about you, and followed their caravan back to the Central Plains.
It's just a delay at the border.
Didn't come back with them. ”
Xiao Nansheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked very excitedly: "Teacher, you won't ...... too"
The sentence "Caught in Baihualou" in the back didn't dare to say it directly.
Mao An seemed to guess the meaning of his words.
When even told him what happened to him in Shun'an Town.
On that day, Mao An came to the border with the caravan.
The encounter is almost the same as Xiao Nansheng.
However, Mao An is not as unlucky as Xiao Nansheng.
It's just that when I was drinking tea in the tea shed, I overheard the private conversation of a few pedestrians.
Only then did I learn that Xiao Nansheng had been abducted and sold.
Mao An also thought of the question that Xiao Nansheng once thought of.
That night, he sneaked into Baihualou, and then sneaked into the dog fighting ring of the strong man.
He also discovered that the strong man did not seem to look like a steppe man.
Although he desperately wanted to speak pure prairie dialect.
But there are still flaws.
So, on the second day, Mao An entered the dog fighting ring of the strong man.
One person took the entire dog fighting ring, and fought bloodily for two days and one night.
In the end, it ended with the strong man and a few of his men fleeing in the wilderness.
Because Mao An became famous in the dog ring, he had just stepped into the Baihua Building.
The sword hasn't had time to draw yet, and it has just been reported.
The people of Baihualou immediately dispersed.
The scholars who were forced to stay were finally freed.
They went home, read poetry and books, and prepared for this year's scientific examination.
Since then, the name of Mao An has also been immediately resounded throughout the border.
Especially in Shun'an Town, the people are full of gratitude every time they mention Mao'an.
When Xiao Nansheng heard this, his whole body was full of enthusiasm.
It's a pity that he was still a powerless dog at that time.
In addition, Xiao Nansheng was originally a coward.
It's a pity that his martial arts are high.
But all that is left is to be bullied.
Xiao Nansheng couldn't help but murmured: "This is going to be me, and I have already designated to serve the kennel."
To be famous, how can it be your turn to be in the limelight? ”
Xu watched Xiao Nansheng's mouth open and closed.
Mao An couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?" ”
Hearing Mao An's question, Xiao Nansheng immediately relented.
He smiled and said, "No, I mean......
Teacher, you're amazing! ”
Mao An immediately looked stunned, and then turned his face away and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become so poor?" ”
Do you think I want to? It's not because I can't beat you?
Xiao Nansheng couldn't help but slander in his heart.
At this time, the old man walked in.
This old man's name is Zhang Jing, and he is the housekeeper in Zhang Meng's mansion.
Later, Zhang Meng was killed, and the people in the house were not spared.
Fortunately, Zhang Jing went back to his hometown that day and escaped the catastrophe.
Later, I met Zhang Meng again.
Because Zhang Jing is the fifth in the family.
So in order to avoid extraneous branches.
Everyone also calls him a five-uncle on weekdays.
Now that the fifth uncle had just entered the door, he immediately said, "General, the matter you asked me to investigate has an eyebrow." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Nansheng and Mao An both looked at him.
Only then did he continue: "My wife, the younger brother of her mother's cousin's fifth aunt.
The name Jingchi was a miscellaneous servant in Qian Xun's mansion back then.
According to him, he once overheard Qian Xun talking to the steward in his house about medicine.
Later, he was almost discovered, and Qian Xun was very nervous at that time.
Fortunately, Jing Chi reacted quickly and was not discovered by him at that time. ”
"Medicine?"
Zhang Meng muttered along.
Then he did not speak again.
Wubo continued: "Originally, there was nothing suspicious.
But Jing Chi said that he looked at Qian Xun's weak expression at that time.
I always feel like there's something.
On the second night, the General's Mansion was destroyed.
If these two things have nothing to do with each other......
It seems unlikely! ”
Xiao Nansheng also nodded, and then said: "How is Qian Xun on weekdays?
Did he have a grudge with my father back then? ”
Zhang Meng recalled carefully.
Suddenly, he said, "If you talk about grievances, there are also grievances."
When the crown princess sent him to the general's mansion.
Because he was stubborn and undisciplined, the general punished him less.
On several occasions I noticed that he looked at the general badly.
Later, the general handed him over to me, and I realized that he was not only an unmotivated person.
is also small-bellied chicken intestines, like a girl. ”
Xiao Nansheng frowned slightly.
Mao An suddenly said on the side: "In other words, this Qian Xun is very likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
"Nope."
Zhang Meng immediately rejected Mao An's speculation.
Xiao Nansheng also said in a low voice: "Qian Xun doesn't have that guts.
Besides, I don't think he has that strategy.
At that time, my father was in the government and the opposition, and it was also in full swing.
No matter how much Qian Xun hated my father, he would definitely not dare to do it.
I wonder if there wasn't a minister who spoke for my father. ”
Zhang Meng looked out the window, and said with a somewhat empty look in his eyes: "Speak for your father......
They were all patronized by those black-clothed guests.
During that time, there was almost a major change of officials in the imperial court.
Later, they all became the power of the crown prince. ”
Zhang Meng's words came to this.
Suddenly, he looked at Xiao Nansheng in surprise.
Apparently he was aware of something, too.
But the two didn't say what came to mind.
At this time, Xiao Nansheng suddenly looked at Wubo and said, "That young man named Jingchi is in the imperial capital?" ”
The fifth uncle shook his head and said, "No, he saw that General Zhang Meng's family had an accident back then.
I'm afraid that their family will also be implicated because of me.
So he moved his family back to the countryside that year.
Just those things, that was when my wife went home to save her family.
Just happened to meet him, and he just said a few words. ”
When Xiao Nansheng heard this, he immediately looked at the fifth uncle in surprise......
