Chapter 59: The Way Home
However, a few days later, the group came to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, where Huo Qingtong's master, the snow sculpture Guan Mingmei, and her husband, the vulture Chen Zhengde, lived, were not far away, so Huo Qingtong stopped by to pay a visit.
People in the martial arts have always paid attention to the respect and inferiority of the young and the old, as Huo Qingtong's fiancΓ©, Chen Jialuo naturally has to follow, when he thinks of the relationship between these two people and his master Tianchi monster Yuan Shixiao, Chen Jialuo is a headache, these two people are the goods with a tendon in the brain, but don't have any problems! Fortunately, everything went well, Huo Qingtong only went in to visit his master, Chen Jialuo accompanied Chen Zhengde after a few moves, and deliberately missed a flaw and was defeated, and the matter was over.
Staying overnight on the mountain, the next day the group continued to move forward, passing by the big lake, Chen Jialuo groped for a long time on the short sword given to him by Huo Qingtong, and finally decided to give up the plan to go to the maze to hunt for treasures. I remember that there seems to be only jade in it, there is no gold and silver treasure, it is very troublesome to realize, and this place is far away from the Central Plains, the traffic is inconvenient, even if it is out, it is not lucky, plus the calculation time of the township test has already been released, if Xin Yan is admitted, he will have to go to Beijing with him, and he really has no time to use it.
Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, everyone's cinnamon fragrance is getting stronger, all the way to the horse, the stars and the moon, this day finally arrived at Tie Dan Village; Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law came back safely, Zhou Zhongying was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to arrange wine and food. After three rounds of drinking, Chen Jialuo asked about the recent situation in the Central Plains.
"In the past few days, the horses along the road have been fast, and I have secretly slaughtered a messenger with an eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork on him." Chen Jialuo took the letter and looked at it, as he expected, it was Fude's emergency document to the Ministry of War, and in order to cover up his defeat, he deliberately exaggerated the strength of Mu Zhuolun's department.
Putting this aside in advance, Chen Jialuo asked about Ma Chaozhu's situation again, "A month ago, there was news that Ma Yingying had retired from Kaifeng City, and the latest news has not yet been sent, so it is estimated that the situation is not good!" Zhou Zhongying said.
"So there are five brothers and six brothers, and the two brothers will go to Henan tomorrow to find Ma Yingying, and tell him the results of our last discussion." , Chang's Shuangxia had dealt with Ma Chaozhu before, and it was easy to talk when they met, "When the time comes, if it is useful to get the place where the Red Flower Club is, the two brothers can decide for themselves, and they can mobilize some weapons and silver from other places to support Ma Hero." As long as he is in the Qing court, he will not dare to put all the troops in the south of Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan to the northwest, and when he enters the Guide Mansion, Shandong should also move the focus of troops to this side, so the chess piece that Chen Jialuo buried in Shandong can start to act.
Chang's Shuangxia responded with a fist, and went to Henan early the next morning; Everyone was in a hurry to return to the Central Plains, so they didn't stay in Tie Dan Zhuang for long, and after a day of rest, they rushed to Anxi City, of course, Wei Chunhua stayed, after all, the New Year is coming soon, and he has no family, so it is better to stay here and celebrate the New Year with his father-in-law's family, and by the way, deal with the affairs of the Red Flower Society here.
"Yuan Zhi, it's the New Year soon, you better go home and spend time with your family!" On the way, Chen Jialuo took a moment to walk side by side with Li Yuanzhi, "I'll go to Hangzhou to find you after the New Year!" β
"Aren't you going back to the Central Plains with us?" , Li Yuanzhi noticed the strangeness in his words, and now he is still far away from the Central Plains, could it be that Chen Jialuo will not go all the way with them next?
"I still have some things to do in Anxi for a few days, and then I have to go to Jingshi; Qingtong's sister will return to Hangzhou with the dust-free Taoist. Chen Jialuo thought about it, the next thing is not suitable for too many people to participate, and the fewer people who go to Jingshi, the better.
The look on Li Yuanzhi's face darkened, the war was in a hurry in the first two months, and there were few times when the two of them met, this time the distance was far away, and I thought that I would have the opportunity to say a few more words, but I didn't expect that he would leave at the beginning; I wanted to go to Jingshi with him, but after all, it was the Chinese New Year, and I had been away from home for so long, so it would be too much to say if I didn't go back for the New Year, so I had to nod slightly, "Well, I know." β
Seeing her uncomfortable appearance, Chen Jialuo also felt a little guilty in his heart, so he said softly, "I'll go to Hangzhou to find you when I wait for Shangyuan, and we'll go to see the lanterns together!" It's just us. β
"Really?" , Li Yuanzhi's eyes lit up, at this time women are mostly raised in the deep boudoir, Shangyuan Festival is one of the few days they can come out to play, men and women can also find objects for themselves by the way by appreciating the lanterns, the meaning for young men and women is like today's Valentine's Day, Chen Jialuo wants to ask her out on this day, the meaning is self-evident.
"Well, when the time comes, you stay at home, and I'll go over the wall to find you!" , Chen Jialuo said.
After appeasing Li Yuanzhi, when Chen Jialuo was resting in Anxi City at night, Chen Jialuo ran to Huo Qingtong's room again, took her little hand and told her about going to Jingshi, Huo Qingtong didn't show it, but asked with concern, "Jingshi is the confidant of the imperial court, you must be careful!" β
"Well, it's okay, the helm of my Red Flower Club is Hangzhou, and when you arrive in Hangzhou, you will find a house to live in, and the fourth sister-in-law is also in Hangzhou, let her take you to take a good look at Hangzhou City, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is still very different from that in the northwest! If you're bored, you can also go to Sister Yuanzhi. ", Huo Qingtong and Li Yuanzhi have a good relationship, Chen Jialuo wants to push it again, so as not to embarrass the three of them in the future." You sisters are alone, but you have to take care of yourself, tell your fourth sister-in-law if you have anything, don't think of yourself as an outsider. Hey, I guess I'm going to be in Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year, and I can't spend it with you, so I'll try to take a day out to go back and see you. β
"Sister Youluo and Sister Yuan Zhi are here, I don't have any problems here; It's the Jingshi sinister, and I'm a little relieved! Huo Qingtong said softly.
Then come with me, the words came to his lips and he took them back, "Don't worry, even if you can't do it, it's still easy for me to escape!" βγ
came out of Huo Qingtong's room, and went to the dustless Taoist chief to talk about the internal affairs of the Red Flower Society, and then went back to the room to sleep. The next morning, they were sent ten miles outside the city of Anxi before returning. After they left, only Chen Jialuo and the Twelve Masters were left in Anxi City, as well as the captured former household servant Fucha Mingrui.
The matter in the northwest has been solved, a large number of troops of the Qing army have been consumed, and their strategic goals have been temporarily achieved, so it is time to make the next plan. PS: Thanks for not being able to Β£ days
