In the blink of an eye, April, the Dragon Boat Festival is here again, although Zhou Xuan is a little anxious, but the play is still playing, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he and Yang Xiaofeng, Murong Tassel, Four Idiots, Lihu, and a group of Yu Linwei and his own soldiers went to the Cangzhou Canal to watch the dragon boat race, this year because of the flood, the dragon boat race is extraordinarily lively, because Yang Xiaofeng and Murong tassels are too beautiful, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, at least afraid of people crowding and falling into the water, Zhou Xuan asked Feng'er and Tassel to wear veils, but the graceful posture can't be concealed, if it weren't for the attendant Xuanhe, There were already bad boys and light children who came close to sway, and on the same day in Baihuazhou, East Lake, Hongzhou, there was a scholar who pretended to pick up a fan and wanted to pinch the feet of the sheep, and was kicked down the lake by the four idiots-

The day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Xuan sent Lihu to the Daimyo Mansion to visit the news, Lihu had Lulu as his companion, and the search for people was the fastest, Zhou Xuan ordered him to go back quickly and report back within ten days. The chapter was uploaded by netizens, and the network hereby affirms

On the ninth day, that is, on the fifteenth day of May, Lihu rushed back, reporting that not only did the two soldiers who went to the Liao Kingdom not return, but even the two soldiers who remained in the Daimyo's Mansion were nowhere to be found.

Zhou Xuan was very surprised, the twenty personal soldiers who went north with him this time were carefully selected from the five hundred Fenghua elite soldiers, not only all of them were powerful, but also alert, and the two who went to Liao did not come back, how could the two personal soldiers who stayed in the Daimyo's Mansion and wait for the news also disappear?

Zhou Xuan trusted Lihu's ability, knowing that it would not be Lihu's negligence, it must be that there was an accident in the Daimyo's Mansion, and he immediately set off to the Daimyo's Mansion. Everyone went upriver along the south bank of the canal, crossed the canal in Guantao County, and arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion on May 23, and found the "Wulu Inn", where the two soldiers lived that day, not far from the ancestral hall of Di Renjie, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty.

The innkeeper and Xiao Er still remembered Zhou Xuan's two personal soldiers, checked the account books, and said that the two had checked in since April 14 and checked out on the ninth day of May-

Lihu said: "It's the room I left two days before I came." ”

Zhou Xuan asked the shopkeeper: "Did the two of them say anything before they checked out?" Or who have you seen? ”

Xiao Er replied: "I didn't say anything." But a man came to him and went together. ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "What does the person you find look like?" Where is the accent? ”

Xiao Er scratched his head and said: "At that time, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and the villain didn't see the person's appearance clearly, and he didn't listen to what he said." ”

Zhou Xuan nodded. A group of more than 40 people stayed in the "Wulu Inn".

That night, Zhou Xuan called the four idiots, Li Hu, and a Yulin Wei commander and a personal soldier captain, as well as Li Paijun and Lin Paijun, to his room to discuss things, and Yang Xiaofeng and Murong Tassel knelt behind Zhou Xuan on one left and one right.

Zhou Xuan asked, "What do you think about the disappearance of those two pro-soldiers?" ”

Everyone didn't speak, looking at Zhou Xuan, they all knew that Wu Guogong was resourceful. I must have already had a high opinion.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said: "Zhang and Wu were ordered to wait here for the news of Wu and He who went to Liao, think about it, why did Zhang and Wu check out on the ninth day of the fifth month and didn't know where to go?" ”

The four idiots clasped their arms and were silent.

Li Paijun said: "I will go tomorrow to meet the Daimyofu Judicial Officers and Sihu Soldiers, and ask them to assist in the investigation." ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "Don't be so excited. ”

Commander Yu Lin Wei said: "Does Guogong mean that Zhang and Wu got the news of Wu and He, so they checked out and left?" ”

Zhou Xuan nodded and said: "That's right, Zhang and Wu have my orders, and if there is no news from Liaoguo, they will not leave the land without permission." ”

The captain of the pro-soldiers said: "Then why didn't you see them come to Cangzhou?" The two of them checked out on the ninth day of the first month, and we left Cangzhou on the 16th. Did you miss it halfway? ”

Lihu said: "From the Daimyo's Mansion to Cangzhou, why do you need seven days, I arrived in three days and four nights." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The possibility of missing it is very small, but the world is unpredictable, and it may not be possible to miss it." ”

Yu Linwei said: "Guogong, then go to Cangzhou again." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "No need, if you really miss it, they will know that we have gone to the Daimyo's Mansion when they arrive in Cangzhou, and they will come by themselves." He glanced sideways at Murong Tassel and said with a smile: "My Gongzi Zhou has married a beautiful woman with strong martial arts. Who doesn't know in Cangzhou? ”

And they all laughed.

The four idiots asked, "So we still have to wait here?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Wait first, it is estimated that in less than three days, something will happen, and the two big living people will not disappear out of thin air." ”

Zhou Xuan and his entourage came to the Daimyo Mansion on May 23, the weather was unusually hot, and it was very uncomfortable to be stuffy in the inn. There is an ancient temple with a stream. It is very quiet and can be used in summer. You can also hunt, on May 25, Zhou Xuan took Yang Xiaofeng, Murong Tassel, Four Idiots, Lihu, Lin Pai Army followed, and ten other soldiers were riding horses and carrying bows, and it took a lot of trouble when going out of the north gate, the Daimyo's Mansion was an important town in the north of the Yellow River of the Song Kingdom, the terrain was dangerous, it was a military fortress to resist the south of the Liao State, and those who entered and exited had to be led by the way, not to mention Zhou Xuan's personal soldiers with swords and bows.

These self-owned Lin Pai soldiers explained that it took a while to get out of the city, and told them to return to the city before sunset, otherwise the city gate would not be opened until the next day.

The Daimyo Mansion is located in the plains, there are no high mountains, the northern peak of the mountain is undulating, but not very high, the trees are lush, thick shade, the mountain breeze blows, the heat is completely gone.

Just entered the mountain not far away, I heard the sound of hooves behind him, Zhou Xuan looked back, and saw that there were seven or eight horsemen rushing, and immediately the passengers were carrying bows and arrows, wearing Song costumes, and they should also be hunting and playing in the Daimyo Mansion. Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry to urge the horse to run fast, while enjoying the scenery, while watching the soldiers hunting, the mountains in the north are different from the south, the mountains in the south are rugged and cannot run horses, but the hills in the north can gallop horses.

Zhou Xuan can't pull a bow, can't shoot arrows, and is not good at riding, seeing a mountain stream gurgling by, he and Murong Tassel and Yang Xiaofeng went barefoot into the river to fish, Zhou Xuan stabbed the fish with a leaky knife, and repeatedly succeeded, Murong Tassel was much more agile than him, but he didn't have as many fish as Zhou Xuan, and the four idiots and the tiger on the shore were very strange.

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "That's it, I'll teach you another trick today, the fish in this water seems to be in this position, but in fact, the position of this fish is slightly lower than what we saw - tassels, you can try to stab at the position of the fish." ”

Murong Tassel followed what Zhou Xuan said, and after trying a few more times to master the trick, he really stabbed one by one, and Zhou Xuan passed it all at once, and he couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Xuan sighed: "It's really not good to teach each other, the apprentice will pass the master all of a sudden." ”

Yang Xiaofeng carried a small bucket, Zhou Xuan and Murong tassels pierced the fish, and put them in her small wooden bucket, seeing that there were more and more fish, her heart was very happy, the Guiyu and Huaqing of this famous mansion are very famous.

Suddenly, I heard a person more than ten feet downstream say loudly: "How can a thorn fish be like fishing, a few stabbing fish upstream, making a stream of blood, what is the taste!" ”

Zhou Xuan put away the knife and stared at it, and saw that under the sparse willows on the shore, a person was wearing a scarf with a tufted flower, wearing a moon-white shirt, a jade belt with a treasure ring embedded at the waist, and green soap boots on his feet, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, three locks of long hair, and he was about forty years old.

Who is this man? There are such characters in the North Peak Mountain!

Zhou Xuan arched his hand and said: "Yaqu is easy to be sour and rancid, frank and wild and true, but Mr. is long, since I say so, I will not sting fish, how about borrowing a fishing rod from Mr." ”

The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said, "If you want to be wild and honest, why cover it with a veil? ”

Zhou Xuanxin said: "What does this person want to do, the tassel thorn fish has taken off the veil, only Feng'er is still wearing it, this guy is a womanizer, people can't be good-looking, the more elegant the more lustful, buddy is ironclad proof." He said with a smile: "I can't pick it, I'm afraid that the mountains and forests will be chaotic, and the tree spirits and mandrills will come out together, and you want to watch the stunning face." ”

"Oh?" The middle-aged man put away the fishing rod, stood up and looked at Yang Xiaofeng across the stream, looking quite rude, and said: "This son is really wonderful, the wild encounter is also fate, we are close to the left, the jade toe is insulted, how about a small drink?" ”

Zhou Xuan looked at the middle-aged man and had a very strange feeling, but he couldn't figure out what kind of feeling it was for a while, so he said, "Then it's bothering." ”

Lihu went to beckon all the soldiers to go together, and the middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade and an extraordinary face looked at Zhou Xuan's entourage, didn't say anything, and led the way with a faint smile.

For some reason, Yang Xiaofeng held Zhou Xuan's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Zhou Xuan would leave her and run alone.

Passing through a willow forest, bypassing a hillside, but seeing a delicate manor in the col, a red mud wall, covered with black tiles, the houses in the manor are not like the northern architectural style, but like the Jiangnan building, the chicken cries and the dog barks, and the farmer who carries water to irrigate the garden sees the middle-aged man, all of them rest their work and salute respectfully.

When I sat down in the cottage, the four idiots always looked around quietly out of habit, and first saw a painting hanging on the west wall, showing a woman sitting on a lake stone, holding a pipe of hole flute and playing, lilac skirt, and falling flowers around her-

The four idiots couldn't help but let out an "ah" and said to Zhou Xuan: "Master, please look at that painting-

Hearing the four idiots say this, except for the middle-aged man who was as gentle as jade, everyone else looked at the painting together, and Murong Tassel exclaimed: "Isn't this Sister Feng'er?" ”

Indeed, the woman in the painting has no outstanding appearance, tranquil temperament, or the gesture of the

Zhou Xuan paced in front of the portrait, looked at it carefully, and didn't turn around for a long time.
