Chapter 606: Threats and Warnings
The Bahe River is the largest river in the east of Chang'an, and the water flowing from the depths of the Qinling Mountains is clear and transparent. Nearby people live along the river, and standing at the entrance of the official road, you can see dozens of villages and endless farmland. The scenery of the Bahe River in May is very beautiful, and the willows on both sides of the river hang down the soft branches and fly in the wind, like a beautiful woman dancing.
In the pavilion by the river, an old man and a young man have been standing here since the morning. The old man was slightly fat, and the hair on the top of his head was loose. The young man's eyes were like stars, his hands pressed to the hilt of his sword, ready to deal with unnecessary trouble. Passers-by will look twice when they walk here, guessing that it is the father who lost his child and is looking forward to his son's return as soon as possible.
Three horses galloped quickly, running in front of a white horse, the knight on the horse was dressed in white, as the horse ran, his robe fluttered in the wind, and his chic appearance attracted many passers-by. It's a pity that the knight is not very handsome, if there is Pan An's face, it will definitely make those peasant girls who have never seen the world scream.
Su Ren took the reins of the horse, and the white horse obediently slowed down. Huang Shisan and Manniu hurriedly dismounted, reached out to take the reins from Su Ren's hand, and glanced towards the pavilion on the side of the road.
"So early? I thought I came early, but I didn't expect the two of you to be earlier than me? Looks like I'm late! Su Ren smiled as he walked towards the pavilion.
Mo Cong Shili smiled: "It's not that Su Zhonglang came late, it's that the two of us came early." ”
"Hehe, it's good that you're not late! I'm the one who doesn't like people being late, that's disrespectful! ”
Su Ren entered the pavilion and saw the teapot and tea bowl on the stone table. The faint aroma of tea filled the air, and he sniffed hard. Although Su Ren doesn't understand tea, after drinking it for two years, he can still tell the difference between good tea and bad tea.
"Yes, it's authentic Shu tea, and it's also top-grade, and Mr. Mo's hospitality is of a very high standard!"
Mo Cong smiled: "Su Zhonglang is really an expert in tea drinking, just smell it and know whether it is good or bad, so does Su Zhonglang know where such a good tea comes from?" ”
Su Ren thought for a while: "There are not many such good tea in this world, even Cuixiang Building is not sold, and there are only three places to go, the first is my house, the second palace, and the third I remember when I left Huainan last year, I gave some to the king of Huainan, and it is inferred that the old gentleman should have got it from the king of Huainan." ”
"Hahaha......" Mo Cong laughed louder: "Yes, it was the King of Huainan who gave it to the old man, thank the old man for doing things for him, although the matter did not work out, the old man still received the heart of the king of Huainan." ”
"Oh? Such a good tea Huainan King can take out and give it away, it seems that the old gentleman is not simple to do for Huainan Wang. Su Ren had a smile on his face from beginning to end: "Since it's not a simple thing, it's not surprising that it failed." ”
"yes, it's not strange that it failed!" Mo Cong nodded.
The two drank tea for a while, chatted for a while like old friends, and neither of them mentioned the unpleasant things, nor did they say anything else. Tiannan Haibei is a nonsense, sometimes laughing, sometimes bowing his head and pondering. In the blink of an eye, an hour was wasted by the two of them. During this period, Su Ren went to the toilet twice and drank too much water. At the end of drinking, the water poured out turned into clear water, and there was no taste of tea.
Mo Cong changed the subject: "Su Zhonglang likes fishing?" ”
Su Ren was stunned: "Fishing? ”
Mo Cong nodded: "Fishing!" Fishing, like drinking tea, needs to calm down to feel, calm down to drink tea to feel the taste of tea, calm down to fish to feel the feeling of fish touching the hook. ”
"This is the first time I've heard of this, but I'm a rough person, and drinking tea is purely a pastime with nothing to do, and I don't know anything about fishing, and I can't hold back my temperament to sit there motionless."
Mo Cong nodded: "Su Zhonglang is still young, it is indeed not suitable for fishing, Su Zhonglang likes the kind of vigorous, straightforward pleasure and boldness, but the old man wants to persuade Su Zhonglang, I don't know if Su Zhonglang is willing to listen?" ”
"Old gentleman, please speak, boy, listen to me!"
"It's refreshing to be vigorous and resolute, but Su Zhonglang has to pay attention to restraint, otherwise I'm afraid he will be in trouble, and if he doesn't get it right, it will cause greater danger."
Su Ren nodded: "Hmm!" The old gentleman's words are really good words, the kid wrote it down, but, the kid is this temper, I'm afraid I can't change it in this life, the teacher said that if I can't change my temper, there will be all kinds of troubles to find the door in my life, and I can't change it. ”
"Hehehe, that's what the old man said, and I hope Su Zhonglang will do it himself."
Su Ren got up and gave Mo Cong a deep salute: "Thank you for the old gentleman's kind words, and the kid also sent the old gentleman a word." ”
"Please!"
"No one can say for sure what is going on in this world, and some things seem to have a bright future, but maybe they will be completely dark in an instant; Some things look like thorns, maybe the view from the top of the mountain is even more beautiful. ”
Mo Cong nodded and smiled: "It seems that Su Zhonglang chose the latter?" ”
Su Ren nodded: "Yes!" The old gentleman also said that I am still young, and some of the capital is to break through, and young people want to see the scenery of the top of the mountain, as for how long and deep the thorns will cut a wound on the body, that is a later story. ”
"What if one of those thorns hits the point?"
Su Ren smiled and shook his head: "Please rest assured that the old gentleman has this point, I still have a problem, that is, I cherish my life, but if I think that thorn will threaten the life of the kid, I will cut it down before he stabs me!" ”
"What if you keep chopping?"
"That's uprooted! Thorns are also weeds, as long as you pull it out and expose it to the sun, sooner or later it will be sunburned! ”
"Good means!"
"Prize!" Su Ren arched his hand with a smile: "Today, the old gentleman won't invite the kid to come just to drink tea and chat, right?" If the old gentleman has anything to say, please make it clear that if the boy can help, he will do his best. ”
Mo Cong shook his head: "Don't misunderstand Su Zhonglang, the old man doesn't have anything to ask for, just because the old man is ready to leave Chang'an and come to bid farewell to Su Zhonglang!" At the beginning, it was Su Zhonglang who sent the old man to Chang'an, and naturally he had to say goodbye when he left. ”
"The old gentleman is leaving? Back to the Song Kingdom? ”
Mo Cong shook his head: "No, I was invited to the north by an old man." ”
"North?"
"The North, the Far North."
"Far North? Dare to ask the name of the old gentleman's friend? ”
"I can't tell you about the old man."
Su Ren frowned and looked at Mo Cong in front of him: "Is there something wrong with the old gentleman going to the extreme north?" ”
Mo Cong nodded: "It's nothing, I just want to go and see, speaking of which, this matter still has something to do with Su Zhonglang, another old man who was old and went to the extreme north after listening to Su Zhonglang's words, and never returned, and the old man was very worried, so he wanted to go and see." ”
"Oh......" Su Ren finally understood what Mo Cong was going to do, or what Mo Cong meant in his words. If Mo Cong's words just now were a threat, now they are another threat. Of course, Su Ren would not forget the Black Ice Cliff Elder who was deceived by himself into going to the north to see the Northern Lights, Mo Cong used this to tell him that the Mo family and the Black Ice Cliff had united, maybe this Mo Cong was a member of the Black Ice Cliff.
Thinking about the historical trend of the Mo family, Su Ren quickly understood why the Mo family wanted to unite with the Black Ice Cliff. The prosperity of Mohist and the Spring and Autumn Period are known as the three major philosophical systems together with Taoism and Confucianism. In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, so that the Mo family got a place among the hundreds of princes. In particular, ordinary people were deeply bewitched by the Mohist and love thoughts, and they threw themselves under his command. At that time, it was the best stage of the development of the Mo family.
However, the good times did not last long, the Han Dynasty followed Taoism, and the Mo family was hit. What's more, in recent years, Emperor Liu Che has vigorously promoted Confucianism, and both Mohists and other schools have been classified into the ranks of attack. And the Mo family hopes to return to their own era, and collusion with Heibingtai, a spy organization established by the Qin Dynasty, is a matter of course.
Seeing that Su Ren didn't speak, Mo Cong smiled: "Su Zhonglang doesn't have to mind, maybe the old friend has already found the immortal Dao you said, and he will be watching us somewhere in the sky." ”
Su Ren glanced at Mo Cong: "The old gentleman also wants to ask for the Immortal Dao?" ”
Mo Cong waved his hand: "No, how can the Immortal Dao be something that ordinary people like us can ask for, only those favored by God are possible, such as the Son of Heaven!" ”
"What do you want to do?"
Mo Cong smiled: "Don't do anything!" The words have been said, the old man said goodbye, Su Zhonglang take care! ”
Su Ren's eyes became sharp, staring at Mo Cong deadly. Mo Cong smiled and stood up to salute. Huang Shisan and Manniu immediately rushed in front of Mo Cong, and the weapons in their hands were already raised.
Mo Yu sneered: "Just think you two can stop me?" ”
Huang 13 and Manniu didn't move. Mo Cong stopped Mo Yu, turned around and smiled: "Why, Su Zhonglang doesn't want the old man to go to see the fairy land?" ”
Su Ren's face was expressionless, he waved his hand to let Huang Shisan and the wild bull retreat, got up and came to Mo Cong: "Old man, let me say one last sentence, I don't care if you go to the extreme north or not, if someone uses this kind of thing to bewitch Your Majesty, I will definitely make him worse than dead!" Please! ”
Watching Mo Cong and Mo Yu leave, Su Ren gritted his teeth. The giant of the Mo family is really extraordinary, and he uses any yin tricks. Su Ren finally knew why the wise and martial Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was planted on such nonsense as seeking immortality. It's not that Liu Che doesn't understand, but he was bewitched. Since he Su Ren is here, he can't let this kind of thing happen, how can he say that Liu Che is also a friend.
"Let's go, go back!" Su Yi waved his hand and beckoned Huang Shisan and Manniu back to the city. He had important things to arrange, and he couldn't watch the situation he had worked so hard to get ruined by a group of psychologically twisted guys. Along the way, Su Ren was silent, urging the white horse to speed up, and as soon as he entered the city, he ordered Huang Shisan to find someone and find all the power that his subordinates could use. Huang Shisan still wanted to ask why, but after looking at Su Ren's eyes, he hurriedly swallowed his words back.
