Chapter 409: Curves Save the Country
"We can't take care of this matter, let's go back to Mobei as soon as possible." Duan Lang pulled the food into his mouth as he spoke, and after the three of them had a full meal, they planned to check out and leave, and when they walked to the door of the inn, they felt the abnormality on the street.
The people avoided one after another, and many of the Liang people had a look of hatred and helplessness on their faces, Xuan Shaoning looked in the direction they had entered the city before, only to see a group of troops quickly pouring into the street, passing through the originally lively street, and then heading towards the center of the city.
These are the troops of the Lower Tang Dynasty, but it can be judged by a glance at their military uniforms, Xuan Shaoning originally planned to wait for the army to leave before quietly leaving the city, but he found acquaintances in this army, to be exact, former opponents.
At the head of the army was a general, who looked full of spirit, but Xuan Shaoning knew that he was just a defeated general, and what made him even more inattentive was a young general with a white face and beard who followed behind this general.
"Yin Lingqi and Bang Bang?" Xuan Shaoning had to sigh that this world was really too small, but it was a few months before their two rivals met again in Yunzhou, of course, they met on the spot, and they didn't find Xuan Shaoning.
In order not to attract anyone's attention, Xuan Shaoning stroked his fake beard and bent his back even more, but his eyes kept rolling. This is Duan Lang leaning over and whispering, "They're done, let's leave quickly." ”
Xuan Shaoning grabbed Duan Lang's arm and said, "Don't leave in a hurry, let's take a look." ”
"Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall? Are you worried that the Tang people didn't recognize us, and you still plan to give people a hug! ”
Duan Lang was reluctant in his heart, but in the end, he was dragged by Xuan Shaoning to appear in the Sima Mansion in Yunzhou. The periphery of the mansion has been surrounded by heavy troops, and the people who watched the excitement could only kneel on the periphery and secretly look up, there was already a group of people waiting at the door of the mansion, judging from their clothes, it should be the people of the Yunzhou official office, that is, the official position established by Daliang in Yunzhou before. At this time, as officials in the occupied area, they were not only not killed or imprisoned, but became supporters of the Tang Dynasty, which has to be said to be a kind of irony, which shows how confused the imperial court is in selecting and employing people.
Xuan Shaoning leaned forward as much as possible, he saw that the person in the waiting crowd was a little familiar, and it was a familiar person, according to past experience, Xuan Shaoning believed that this person must have been someone he had seen when he was in the capital. Not only this person, but even a white and chubby businessman-looking person beside him was a little familiar, Xuan Shaoning's mind was in intense recollection, and before he could figure it out, Yin Lingqi had arrived with the people.
As soon as he saw Yin Lingqi, the leader immediately smiled, nodded and stepped forward to do something extremely despicable: he pushed away the little guy, lay down under the crotch of the war horse, and then said to Yin Lingqi: "Please also ask Lord Tuorong to dismount!" ”
Yin Lingqi did not shirk, and stepped on this person's back with his legs and dismounted steadily. After serving Yin Lingqi, this person immediately got up and ran to the side of the war horse and continued to play the role of a "foot stool", but fortunately, Bang Bang did not pay attention to him, but chose to jump off the horse from the other side.
Xuan Shaoning's heart felt a lot more comfortable, and he guessed that Bang Bang would not do this. Wan Wan casually glanced at the crowd and walked to Yin Lingqi's side, this person immediately got up and pretended that nothing had happened before, ran to the side of the father and daughter, bent down and said: "Weichen Chen Kangji has seen Lord Tuorong, and he has seen Yin Da......."
"That's it!" Bang Wan directly interrupted him, she was wearing a military uniform at this time, and it would be difficult for someone who was not familiar with her to tell that she was a woman.
"Lord Chen has worked hard." Yin Lingqi was just polite, but Chen Kangji immediately called out to the white fat businessman to his side, and the white fat businessman also bent down and said respectfully: "Little Ma Daochuan see Lord Tuorong!" ”
Chen Kangji, Ma Daochuan? Xuan Shaoning's mind immediately recalled, weren't the two of them the criminals in the Beijing test fraud case many years ago? Chen Kangji was originally the head of the Ministry of Rites, but after the fraud case, he was changed to Yunzhou Sima by the imperial court; And the white fat Ma Daochuan, Xuan Shaoning remembered that Xiao Yunqi once mentioned that he was the son of the president of the Jiangnan Salt Association, and he was also assigned to the frontier because of fraud. These two people actually met here, and they became the lackeys of the Tang Dynasty, and Xuan Shaoning became even more disgusted with them.
"Lord Tuorong, the lower officials have already arranged a banquet to receive the wind, and it is in the Qixian Tower, please enjoy the light!"
"Lord Chen knows that I am a general of the defeated army, and I was relegated to Yunzhou to defend it, is Lord Chen sure that such a big banquet is really appropriate?"
"Where did Lord Tuojon come from? Xiaguan has never heard of the defeat of Lord Tuorong, Xiaguan only knows that Yunzhou must be safer with Tuorong in town, and Xiaguan is waiting for the people of the whole city to sincerely invite the adult! ”
Bang Wan no longer planned to hide her emotions, she glanced at Chen Kangji with infinite disdain and stopped paying attention to him, and turned to look at Yin Lingqi, she hoped that her father could directly reject this kind of spineless villain.
Perhaps in order to increase his bargaining chips, Chen Kangji glanced at Ma Daochuan, and the white fat man immediately persuaded: "It's just a small reception banquet, and I ask Lord Tuorong not to refuse." Before the adults came, the little one had already received a letter from Lord Wu, saying that he wanted to entertain him well. ”
Bang Wan really wanted to laugh, this fat man who didn't learn anything and didn't know how to even pronounce the surname of Wu Yu wrong. "Wu Ji" is a relatively rare surname in the Lower Tang Dynasty, which is a compound surname.
As soon as he heard Wu Yu's name, Yin Lingqi's face was not so good-looking, and he asked in a calm voice, "Oh? Really? Is that what Lady Wu Ji said? ”
Ma Daochuan hadn't realized his mistake yet, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Master Wu said so in the letter, so the little one must join Master Chen to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Tuorong, which is also the custom of our Daliang." ”
Chen Kangji couldn't wait to find a crack to get into, if it weren't for Ma Daochuan's money, he would really be too lazy to take care of this second stunned person, what should be said and what should not be said, now Yin Lingqi is afraid that he will not agree.
As a result, Yin Lingqi's reaction made Chen Kangji and Bang Wan's jaws drop in shock, and he actually agreed! Then regardless of the expressions of others, Yin Lingqi raised his feet and walked towards the mansion.
Although the distance was a little far, Xuan Shaoning had been paying attention to the lips of several people and pricked up his ears at the same time to listen, he had already heard the "Immortal Tower".
"Shaoning, what are you going to do, we have to hurry!" Duan Lang began to urge again, since Yin Lingqi entered the mansion, the troops surrounding the outside began to disperse the people, and the three of them could only walk away helplessly.
"I suddenly had a plan."
"What's the plan?"
"The plan to recover Yunzhou!"
Xuan Shaoning didn't care about Duan Lang and Ji Wenhan's doubts, and went back to the inn where he had eaten before, and set up two rooms, and made plans to stay.
"Shopkeeper, dare to ask where the fairy building is?" Xuan Shaoning asked.
"It's normal for the guest officer not to know, after all, it's an outsider. This Qixian Building is the first building in our Yunzhou, the favorite gold cave of dignitaries and nobles, there are three uniques: the first is the geographical advantage, backed by the Xianren Mountain, facing the Qixian Lake; The second must be the chef in this building, the craftsmanship is simply comparable to the imperial dining room in the palace, the taste, tsk; The third is even more absolute, there are seven beauties in the Qixian Building, it is rumored that the heavenly immortals descended to earth, and the seven people are not only beautiful but also have talents, ordinary people have no chance to meet each other. ”
Looking at the shopkeeper talking about this Qi Xianlou, the expression can be described as drunken and dreaming of death, the family and country have fallen to this point, Yunzhou is already the land of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the people here are still intoxicated with beautiful scenery, food and beauty, which really makes Xuan Shaoning feel a little chilled.
"Oh, look at what the shopkeeper said, it's like I've seen and tasted it in person!" Duan Lang quipped.
The shopkeeper said: "This eldest sister guessed wrong, how can I have this blessing, Qixian Mansion is not just rich to enter, the most important thing is status!" ”
"Big sister?" Duan Lang was angry and asked, "Which eye do you see that I am the eldest sister!" ”
Duan Lang shouted at the duck to startle the shopkeeper, while Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but laugh and pushed Duan Lang back to the guest room while apologizing to the shopkeeper.
"It's infuriating!"
"Well, you really think of yourself as a young woman!"
"Shaoning, you have to judge, don't say it's a young woman, how can I be considered a beautiful man, right?"
"Come on, let's think about how to enter this Immortal Tower!"
