Yang Feng never talked about personal matters in his letters, and Han Ruzi didn't know anything about his physical condition, but Chao Whale saw that Yang Feng was thinner, with a sallow face and an obvious sick look. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chao Whale arrived in Yunmengze a month ago and found Yang Feng in a newly built military village.

The summer in Yunmengze is very different from the capital, shrouded in fog from morning to night, and the swamps and plants everywhere shoot out water vapor like a race, and the surface of the skin is damp to the touch at almost any time.

The military village is built on a hill, more than 30 miles away from the county seat, not too far, but the road is rugged and difficult to walk, since the summer, the plants grow wildly, as long as there is no horseshoe trampling for a day, a weed will grow on the ground, they always want to take advantage of the unpreparedness, swallow the narrow path, regain the lost ground.

Before he arrived at the village, Chao Whale was already dizzy, looking back frequently, really afraid that the road behind him would suddenly disappear without a trace, and he would never find the direction to go home.

Even more terrifying are the mosquitoes, which come at their faces, provoking outsiders with a wanton and fearless attitude, declaring themselves to be the owners of this swamp.

"It's good that the Huang Pu election started in the winter." It is hard for Chao Whale to imagine how a large army can fight in such an environment.

Most of the soldiers in the military village are locals, all of them have dark complexions, gloomy expressions, and they are not polite to the "Qincha".

The ground in the village is not much better than outside, it has just rained in the morning, and the ground is so muddy that it can almost stick to your shoes.

Several attendants who followed Chao Whale rode on horses, looked around, and could not find a clean place to dismount, Chao Whale didn't care, jumped down directly, stepped on the mud and walked to a wooden house, where an officer pointed out to him, which was the residence of "Eunuch Yang".

A young man walked up to him, not tall, but very strong, not dressed as a soldier, but like a countryman who had strayed into the barracks.

"You're a whale?"

"Are you Du Chuanyun?"

The two pointed to each other and said their names in unison, stunned and laughing at the same time.

Du Chuanyun knew that Chao Whale was coming, and Chao Whale had heard many things about Du Chuanyun from Zhang Youcai, and he recognized it at a glance.

The two exchanged a few words, and Du Chuanyun said: "It's good that you're here, I can go, this ghost place is really not for people." ”

"Hey, why are you leaving?" Chao Whale asked in surprise.

"I'm not from the government, why should I stay here? Everyone has already left, I saw Yang Feng sick and took care of him for a few days, but he still didn't appreciate it and drove me away every day. It's hard for eunuchs to wait, it's even more difficult for sick eunuchs to wait, now it's okay, people will be handed over to you, I'll go, and there will be a period later. ”

Chao Whale and Du Chuanyun hit it off at first sight, "It's okay to stay for one more day, let's sit together and drink a few glasses of wine." ”

Du Chuanyun strode away, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Another day, wait until I go to the capital." ”

Du Chuanyun jumped on a horse and shouted to the entire village: "Lao Tzu is leaving, who else owes Lao Tzu's gambling debts, send it quickly!" If you really don't have any money, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, come over and say, 'Master go slowly', I will take your favor, even if it is to repay the debt. ”

A large number of people poured out from all directions, surrounding Du Chuanyun like weeds, startling the guests from the capital, who could not imagine that so many soldiers could be stuffed in the small stockade.

"Master walk slowly."

"My lord comes often."

The shouts came one after another, Du Chuanyun was greatly satisfied, roared, beat the horse and rushed out of the crowd, leaving the village.

Chao Whale stood at the door of the wooden house, watching this scene in amazement, and muttered: "I have to admit my mistake to Zhang Youcai when I return to Beijing, this guy is really a character." ”

Chao Whale knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside, he pushed the door and walked in.

The windows of the room were all open, but it was useless, it was still so stuffy.

Yang Feng sat on a bamboo chair with his back to the door and looked out the window.

This is not a reunion after a long absence, but the two of them are not too familiar and cannot be called friends, Chao Whale never cares about etiquette, walks over, turns his head to look at Yang Feng, and says with a smile: "Yang Gong, Your Majesty sent me to visit you." ”

Yang Feng was either outside the spirit object, or he was sleeping with his eyes open, sitting there motionless, his eyes not blinking, and he spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Is it still the emperor?" ”

"Hey, Yang Gong, how are you talking? Of course, it's still the same emperor, and it hasn't changed. ”

Yang Feng took a deep breath, as if he was slowly waking up from a dream, grabbed a sword leaning on his lap, and handed it to Chao Whale, "Bring this to Your Majesty." ”

Chao Whale received it and asked in confusion, "What is this?" ”

"Taizu Sword."

"Oh." Chao Whale didn't dare to pull it out to check, but immediately felt that the sword in his hand was a lot heavier, "Yang Gong has found it, this is a great achievement." ”

"Hmm." Yang Feng didn't seem to take the Taizu Sword seriously at all.

"Great, I don't have anything to say, Yang Gong and I will go back to Beijing together, Your Majesty has been thinking about you."

"What are you going to do back?"

"Uh...... Yang Gonggong made this effort, he could do whatever he wanted, and His Majesty would definitely agree. ”

"Okay."

Things are obviously going well, but Chao Whale always has an illusion, he doesn't seem to have found the right person, and it's not Yang Feng sitting here at all, but this is indeed Yang Feng, a different kind of eunuch, even if he has only met once before, Chao Whale will not admit his mistake.

"That'...... When to go? ”

"Whatever you want."

"It's not a short journey from here to the capital, Yang Gong's body can still stand it, right?"

"Yes."

"Then the day after tomorrow, Yang Gong can clean it up."

"Okay."

Chao Whale really had nothing to say, so he had to quit the room and live in the next room, he didn't sleep all night, and when he got up the next day, he became more and more dizzy, regretting waiting for one more day, knowing that Yang Feng was so good at talking, he should have set off today.

He went to see Yang Feng again, only to find that Yang Feng had not collected anything, still sitting there with a book in his hand.

"Yang Gong reads a book." Chao Whale said with a smile.

Yang Feng was still the same as yesterday, his reaction was extremely slow, he closed the book after waiting for a while, and then waited for a while before he said, "Your Majesty, everything is okay?" ”

"Good."

"No one opposes Your Majesty anymore, does she?"

"Of course, there are so many examples in front of you, Yun Mengze is one, who would dare to oppose the emperor." Chao Whale felt that Yang Feng was speaking strangely.

"Well, Your Majesty should have some confidence."

"How many points?" Chao Whale even felt that Yang Feng was crazy, "Your Majesty is the most confident emperor I have ever seen. ”

"How many emperors have you met?"

Chao Whale was speechless, "Hehe, I'm definitely not as well-informed as Yang Gong." Can you leave tomorrow? ”

"Yes."

"Does Yang Gong have anything to prepare? I'll have someone clean it up for you. ”

Yang Feng shook his head.

Chao Whale waited for a while, and when he saw that Yang Feng didn't squeak and turned around to leave, Yang Feng suddenly said again: "The King of England hasn't found it yet." ”

"Let someone else find it."

"The King of England is a foreign exile, easy to use by traitors, and a threat to Your Majesty."

Chao Whale scratched his head, "It's not as good as before, even if the King of England himself wants to rebel, no one will support him, if it's peaceful today, Your Majesty has already sat firmly in the country, and no one can cause trouble, although Yang Gong has a hundred hearts." ”

Yang Feng really didn't open his mouth this time.

Life in the military village is extremely boring, as far as the eye can see, there are swamps, plants and mosquitoes everywhere, Chao Whale found a sergeant to gamble a few handfuls, I thought I could easily win money, but I didn't expect these guys to be smoother than one hand, Chao Whale lost more and won less, lost one hundred and ten taels of silver, threw the dice and didn't play, and admired Du Chuanyun even more.

I thought I would be able to return to Beijing safely, but something happened that night, a group of assassins sneaked into the village, set fire to one head, and assassinated the other, and the target was Yang Feng.

It was the Chu army that defeated Yun Mengze's bandits, but the people of Jianghu hated Yang Feng even more.

Yang Feng used an alliance leader meeting to drag Luan Banxiong and the others, using the methods of the rivers and lakes, so he was even more jealous.

The soldiers in the village are usually scattered, but they all react quickly when they are attacked, and they are divided to fight fires and save people.

Chao Whale was shocked, at first he thought that the assassin's target was "Qincha", so he hid in the house and did not dare to go out, until the situation outside was stable, and when he went out to ask, he knew that these people were here to kill Yang Feng.

There were more than ten people in total, all of whom were outlaw robbers, who wanted to avenge Luan Banxiong, half of them were killed on the spot, and the other half were captured alive and escorted to the door of Eunuch Yang's house.

Yang Bong walked out, and the assassins scolded him as soon as they saw him.

Yang Feng didn't reply, didn't open his mouth at all, and waved his hand lightly, which was lighter than the action of repelling mosquitoes, and the soldiers understood, raised their knives and fell, killing all the assassins.

Chao Whale was frightened, and it was only then that he realized that the soldiers in the village had great respect for Yang Feng, and rushed to do it when they killed, unwilling to be left behind.

Chao Whale couldn't sleep, so he simply found someone to drink, he lost the silver during the day, his popularity increased greatly, and there were many people who came, while drinking, chatting, Chao Whale deliberately led the topic to Yang Feng.

It is said that Yang Feng often goes out of the village in the middle of the night, returns at dawn, comes and goes without a trace, no one can see it, and after a period of time, there will be news that so-and-so in a certain place died of a strange disease.

Of course, Chao Whale didn't believe that Yang Feng knew how to use witchcraft, but he was still extremely surprised.

Early the next morning, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he ordered someone to pack his luggage and knock on the door to ask Yang Feng to go on his way.

Yang Feng kept his promise, got on the horse and went out of the village, more than 500 soldiers lined up on both sides, prostrate on the ground, and sent off Yang Eunuch, silently, much more respectful than to "Qincha".

In the county seat, Yang Feng and his subordinates brought out of the capital converged, a total of more than 50 people, and they went back to Beijing together.

Yang Feng's physical condition is indeed very poor, he can't walk too fast, and he often has to stop to rest, but whether he is on horseback or in bed, he always holds a book and reads it extremely seriously.

Chao Whale was illiterate and not interested in reading, so he never asked about the content of the book, but he just felt that Yang Feng was a strange person, and it was even more incomprehensible that he could be appreciated by the emperor.

There were still three days to go from the capital, and Yang Feng's condition suddenly worsened and he moved into a post station.

Chao Whale immediately found Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong prescribed a few tonics, but he couldn't say why.

This stop is three days, Yang Feng slowly improved, he never complained, nor shouted pain, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he endured it silently, even in the face of Lang Zhong's repeated inquiries, he only replied with the word "okay".

But he said he was on the road again.

Chao Whale only hoped to send Yang Feng to the capital safely, of course he was very happy, and spent money to hire the best local sedan chair, and the last part of the road was to carry Yang Gong back.

Early the next morning, Chao Whale went to invite Yang Feng, knocked on the door and did not respond, he was used to it, and pushed the door in, only to see Yang Feng lying motionless on the bed, reaching out, and there was no snort.

With the book next to the pillow, Chao Whale was interested in the book for the first time, but when she opened it, she found that only the cover, back cover, and middle three pages remained, and the rest was missing.

He remembered very well that Yang Feng was reading a thick book on the road. (To be continued.) )
