Chapter 753: That Mountain, That Monk (Part I)
"The case of the assassination of Wang Servant has been investigated by Jianping and his people. Chongzhi, your top priority, be sure to keep your mind firmly on it, and find out as soon as possible whether she and the 'Goose's Nest are secretly in contact. Yang Guang replied to Pei Yun lukewarmly.
"In the past two days, the person I sent to monitor Xinyi reported to me, saying that when Xinyi was gossiping with Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi, he had mentioned that the prince wanted to find her daughter who was sent to Jiangnan's original hometown, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Pei Yun touched a nail in front of Yang Guang, and was unwilling to give up the task of checking the remnants of the "Wild Goose's Nest" that had been handed over to him to Zhang Heng, so he looked at Yang Guang's face and asked.
"It is true. If it weren't for the news of the assassination of Zi Xianggong today, I would have wanted to send Li Jing to eastern Zhejiang to find Chen, and take her back to Guangling to reunite with Xinyi's mother and daughter. Why, do you think it's inappropriate? ”
"Wonderful, wonderful. Dust is the weakness of the mind. The prince held the dust tightly in his hands, which was the key to choking his heart, and this move was very clever, which made the lower officials admire. Pei Yun took the opportunity to pat Yang Guang's sycophancy.
"Yo, I just thought that I could bring back the dust from Zhedong and be able to complete the reunion of her mother and son, but I didn't think about this layer of stakes. It reminded me of it. Yang Guang joked to Pei Yun half-truthfully.
Since Zhang Heng and Pei Yun worked together in the Yang Guang shogunate, he was quite unaccustomed to him taking Jiangnan Tong as a self-confidence, and everyone looked like Nan Chen's meticulous style, at this time, he heard him openly slap Yang Guang's ass with a shy face, so he couldn't help but remind Yang Guang: "Lord, the two sons of the prince's servant are still waiting for the prince to come to comfort him in the guest house." The lower officials also had to cut off three key criminals to the Yueguo bus, so they resigned. ”
Yang Guang was reminded by Zhang Heng like this, and suddenly remembered that Prince Wang Shao, who had assisted him out of the town and the state, was no longer alive, so he glared at Pei Yun fiercely, hurriedly stopped Zhang Heng, and left the meeting hall with him, and went to appease the two sons of the Wang family.
The next day, Yang Su led the generals of Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, escorted Chen Junfan and other three important criminals, and set off from Guangling to return to Chang'an to report to the emperor.
In order to show respect for Yang Su, Yang Guang personally led the civil and military subordinates in Yangzhou to go out of the city for ten miles to see Yang Su off.
On the ten-mile long pavilion, after Yang Guang saluted Yang Su three bowls of wine, he toasted to the generals in the army who followed Yang Su Jiangnan to quell the rebellion one by one, and said goodbye to Yin Yin.
When Yang Guang came to the Taiping Gongshi Long Live Prince, he couldn't help but take his hand and sincerely said: "In today's world, the most favorite of this king is the Taiping Gong." To this day, this king still remembers the shocking arrow that the Taiping Duke shot down a flying goose outside Huazhou ten years ago, and he can't forget it. Only hate the king and the Taiping Gong shallow relationship, never worked with the account, such as the Taiping Gong did not give up, this time also after the face of the saint to return to life, but also ask the Taiping Gong to come to Jiangnan again, so that the king can at any time to the Taiping Gong to teach the strategy of retreating from the enemy. ”
When Shi Wansui heard this, he hurriedly took two steps back, bowed to Yang Guang and hugged his fists and said humbly: "The last general was originally a person who was guilty of a crime, but thanks to the emperor's forgiveness, he was able to return to the battlefield and serve the court so far. What kind of virtue can the last general have, and can bear the love of the prince like this? The last general is not talented, and he is willing to listen to the dispatch of the captain at any time, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire are in front, he should put life and death in the back of his mind, and he will never give up. ”
Yang Guang was infected by Shi Wansui's emotions for a while, and it was difficult to suppress his excitement, so he stepped forward and held the wine bowl to Shi Wansui, and said sincerely: "Please ask the Taiping Gong to drink this bowl, and this king will look forward to the Taiping Gong returning to Jiangnan as soon as possible in Guangling." ”
Shi Wansui took the wine bowl, raised his neck and drank a full bowl of wine to the point that there was not a drop left, grinned at Yang Guang, and motioned Yang Guang to continue to toast to other generals.
Yang Guang was quite pleased with Shi Wansui's clumsy words, heroic and refreshing energy, and saw that Shi Wansui's first bowl of wine was very refreshing, so he was not in a hurry to continue to toast to other generals, but turned around and ordered someone to bring two more bowls of wine, and sincerely toasted Shi Wansui: "This time, among the soldiers and horses who followed the Duke of Yue to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, only the Taiping Gongfu led the soldiers and horses of the southern expedition to the south to meet the enemy the strongest, and it was the most difficult to annihilate the enemy, and the one who could force the bandit leader Gao Qinglian to commit suicide in a battle was all thanks to the courage of the Taiping Gong." Come and come, and then drink two bowls to show the king's respect for the Taiping Gong. ”
Shi Wansui turned his head to look at Yang Su, the marching marshal, and saw Yang Su smiling and nodding at him, so he didn't shirk, took two bowls of wine from Yang Guang's hand one after another, and drank it all with his neck up.
Yang Guang looked at Shi Wansui with a smile and drank two bowls of wine in succession, still feeling unsatisfied, so he stretched out his hand to pat Shi Wansui on the shoulder, and asked with concern: "If the Taiping Duke still has unfulfilled wishes in Jiangnan, he can make it clear to this king that this king will never ask the Taiping Duke to leave Jiangnan with regrets." ”
Anyone present could hear that this was Yang Guang's intention to ask Shi Wansui to owe him a favor, so that he could recruit Shi Wansui to serve under his command in the future, and they all looked at Shi Wansui with envious eyes, wanting to hear what he could say about his unfulfilled wish to entrust Yang Guang to do.
After Yang Guang said this, Shi Wansui really remembered one thing, so he hugged his fists and asked Yang Guang: "Because the last general was in a hurry to return to Guangling with the Duke of Yue to see the prince, and he was in a hurry when he evacuated eastern Zhejiang, there was indeed a matter that was not done, so he annoyed that the prince would find the two monks who had picked up the drifting bottle put by the last general on Tiantai Mountain, and thank them in person." ”
Yang Guang didn't expect Shi Wansui to mention the name of Tiantai Mountain, so he "buzzed" in his head, and hurriedly turned around and looked at Yang Su with an inquiring gaze.
Yang Su saw that Shi Wansui didn't understand what he said, so he walked to Yang Guang's side with a smile, and explained to him on behalf of Shi Wansui: "When General Shi led the army to the south, he was chased all the way by Gao Qinglian and thousands of super powerful halberd troops all the way to the inaccessible jungle of hundreds of miles in the mountains of northern Fujian, and he was not allowed to get out. As a result, one of the drifting bottles was found by the monks of Tiantai Mountain by the Fuchun River, and together with his teacher Zhiqi and the two of them, they rushed to Huiji City to report the matter to the lower officials, so that the lower officials were able to send reinforcements into the mountains in time to relieve the siege of General Shi's headquarters, and turned defense into attack, and completely annihilated Gao Qinglian's department in one fell swoop. Because the two monks of Zhiqi and Empowerment did not say goodbye after the death, and the holy order of the official was in his body, he was anxious to return to Guangling to meet the prince and return to the court, so he did not have time to bring General Shi to Tiantai Mountain in person to thank the two monks. ”
Because the princess Xiao E often mentioned in front of him the name of the monk Zhiqi who had taught him the art of golden needle healing, especially since following him south to Guangling and Fusui Jiangnan, he asked Yang Guang to take her to Tiantai Mountain in eastern Zhejiang from time to time to find his mentor Zhiqi, so when Yang Guang heard Yang Su say that it was the monk Zhiqi who took his apprentice to report to him, and rescued Shi Wanshi from the deep mountain jungle in time, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "ah".
