June is the hottest time of the year, even the coolies on the Tongzhou wharf are hard-working, and the noon ones dare not sweat and unload at the wharf. The overseers, who beat and scolded these coolies at every turn, are now mercifully letting these people drink water and cool off under the shack shirtless, while a few of them gather under the shade of the trees to eat watermelons.

"Really, this year's day is particularly poisonous, and I almost failed to roast off a layer of skin on my body!"

"Yes, Lao Tzu would rather spend the winter, I can't hide under the sun, I just want to jump into the river and take a bath!"

"You won't say that in the winter. The shacks that are ventilated on all sides, and the thin cotton jacket that can't block the cold wind, I'd rather spend a hundred summers than a winter, and I don't see those people who are reading are also sweating? ”

As soon as the shirtless man with a dark face said, the others immediately turned their heads to look, and immediately found that there was indeed a passenger ship on the dock, and at this time there were many young Confucian students with bookish faces, some carrying bookcases, and some with scholars were desperately shaking fans, but most of them could still see a large trace of sweat on their chests.

Seeing this, the coolies suddenly let out a low snicker. Although the clouds and mud are different, the dilemma in this hot day is the same.

Although he didn't notice that the coolies were laughing at this, Tang Yin, who was already too hot in the cabin, was attacked by the heat wave on the dock when he got off the boat, he was still a little embarrassed, and he complained softly to Xu Xun next to him while shaking his fan desperately: "It's okay for us to take the boat day and night all the way, but why do you have to rush to Tongzhou Wharf at noon?" ”

"It's not simple, you're hot, others are hotter, this scorching sun is in the sky at noon, even if someone is staring at the intersection of land and waterway to the capital, but then it is inevitable that there will be times of slackness, let's endure it, and we won't be able to see through the whereabouts."

The reason why I chose to go to Beijing by water instead of by land is because the summer is hot, you can travel day and night by water, and the summer wind is suitable for canal boats, and the land road is too hot, Xu Xun can never follow the example of those 800-mile urgent messengers. That being said, at this moment, he was also sweating like rain, a sweat towel had been wiped wet, and his head was still sweating.

Glancing at Ah Bao on the side, he saw that the little guy was fine, he couldn't help but sigh that he was born on the canal, wiped his forehead and glanced at Tang Yin: "I said that you should stay in Nanjing to accompany your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, why do you have to die and beg Bai Lai to follow me to Beijing?" ”

"The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, my Xie Yuan name was taken back from the bosses by the adults, and the food is the adult's, although I don't know what the adults are doing in a hurry to return to Beijing, but if I still stay in Nanjing to enjoy the blessings, wouldn't it be unreasonable? Although I can't pick up my shoulders or lift my hands, I still have some skills and maybe I can help adults. ”

Hearing this answer, remembering that Tang Yin didn't know how to peek through the clues, early in the morning on the day he quietly set off, this guy suddenly blocked the door of his yard, and he had to let himself take him, Xu Xun couldn't help but shake his head, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he was relieved in his heart. When he got out of the dock among the scholars who had gone to Beijing to study, he glanced at the carriages and horses waiting outside, and saw an obvious mark, and immediately took Tang Yin and Ah Bao forward.

"The two sons want to take a car?"

Tang Yin's scholar and Xu Xun's other servants were on the other boat behind, but when they were in Tianjin, Ah Bao's arrangements were appropriate. At this moment, it was a man with a smile on his face who came up to take care of the business of the three of them, and when he saw them nodding in agreement, he immediately waved to the carriage and horse shop, and in a short time a seemingly ordinary car drove out. He diligently raised the bamboo curtain and sent the three of them into the carriage, and then he called the coachman down, sat in the coachman's seat himself, and skillfully shook the rope to drive the carriage. …,

When he got out of the chaotic street in front of the dock and got on the official road, he leaned back, lowered his voice and said, "My lord, the younger one is Zhong Tou'er's apprentice Lu Bi. This car is not from the West Factory, and even with this car and horse shop, the whole is the first believer under Luo Zu, and there will be no people from the court staring at it. In the past few days, the scene in the capital is not right, and the small one has not been able to see the master's people for a few days, saying that the entire Lingji Hutong has been watched. It's the back street of Jinyiwei, and it's also a heavily guarded posture......"

This way north, there was a lot of news in the capital at first, but gradually it became less and less, Xu Xun even a stupid person knew that the capital was wrong now, hearing what the coachman said, he couldn't help but subconsciously grasp the bamboo mat under him, and then asked in a deep voice: "You just said Luo Zu・・・・・・ but you have already worshiped under Luo Qingmen?" ”

"Yes, my lord is wise." Lu Bi lost his mind and almost missed the direction, so he immediately responded, paused for a long time and said in a low voice, "Thanks to the master's wisdom, he placed the little one by Luo Zu's side early, otherwise the little one will not be able to walk smoothly inside and outside the capital even if he has great ability." Luo Zu has believers at several city gates, and if the adults want to enter the city, the small ones will be arranged immediately. ”

"Don't be busy entering the city, let's draw the branch factory street and Chongwenmenwai Street first."

Since Xu Xun said so, Lu Eyu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and then drove forward with all his heart. But Tang Yin in the car sensed something from the words just now, and couldn't help but approach Xu Xun a little and lowered his voice and said, "My lord, is there a change in the capital, and someone wants to be unfavorable to the adult?" ”

"It's not for me, at this time others don't know that I've returned to the capital, but there is a way that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if I don't do anything, sooner or later I will be unlucky." Xu Xun saw that Tang Yin's face was pale, and he knew that this talented scholar was angry, but he hadn't seen those confrontations hidden under the calm water, so he smiled and comforted, "It's okay, since you came back with me, let's see what a real contest is!" ”

Tang Yin originally thought that Xu Xun was taking him to a secret nest that he had set up outside the capital a long time ago, but when Xu Xun entered the door and saw that he politely asked a little boy in front of the door to report on his behalf, he realized that the people living here should also be extraordinary people. When he entered the house, he saw an old man wearing a linen robe with pale sideburns greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't help but look at the other party's eyes half a step behind Xu Xun, and he was a little surprised to see that people saw him, and he hurriedly lowered his head

"Grandpa Xiao." Xu Xun arched his hand, glanced sideways at Tang Yin, and said with a smile, "Bohu is his own person, don't worry."

"Oh, it turns out that this is Tang Jieyuan, who was once famous in Beijing." Xiao Jing bowed slightly, and when he saw that Tang Yin hurriedly gave a deep salute, he said to Xu Xun, "Even if you are light and obedient, but you only bring three people with the coachman, it is too big." At present, the news of Xichang and Jinyiwei is all cut off, and with your cleverness, you should always know that this is unusual. ”

"It's because it's unusual, so it's not easy to attract attention with fewer people." Xu Xun sat down with Xiao Jing's gesture, expecting that this talented man knew what he knew, and he didn't explain Xiao Jing's identity to Tang Yin, but asked bluntly, "I didn't go to the garrison of the avant-garde of the government army outside the city, dare to ask Grandpa Xiao, has Ma Qiao ever been here?" ”

"I've been here." Xiao Jingyan nodded concisely, and then said, "He wants to enter the palace, I think about it, I will follow him, but let people follow him into the city, so that his whereabouts when he enters the palace will not be spied on, after all, the avant-garde of the government army still has some soldiers and horses in the palace." Although this posture is unusual now, you should also know that it is not that someone wants to force the palace, but that Liu Jin and others cannot hear or see it, so they can cut it off in one fell swoop while they are unprepared. Behind closed doors, you can't run away from the dogs. ”…,

Tang Yin knew that Xu Xun's sudden return to Beijing this time must be for something important, but at this moment, when he heard the word "forcing the palace", he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and Huo Ran stood up. Seeing Xiao Jing looking at him, he forced himself to squeeze out a smile and said, "Hurry up along the way, I don't want to make a joke right now, Father-in-law Xiao and adults forgive me......"

Seeing Tang Yin going out in embarrassment with his stomach covered, Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and seeing that Xu Xun was just smiling slightly, he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be ・・・・・・him?"

"Hehe, I know what my father-in-law wants to ask, I never discuss these conspiracies with him, a great talent, it must have scared people. It doesn't matter, he used to suffer these losses, and when he turned back, he calmed down, so he naturally came back. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun replied lightly, but he was convinced of Tang Yin in his words, Xiao Jing was relieved. There is no one else at this time, so he has no scruples, and when the folding fan is gently closed, he said with blazing eyes: "I look at your arrangement, could it be that you expected such a thing before leaving Beijing?" ”

Although Xu Xun was silent with a smile, Xiao Jing was such a shrewd person, he immediately knew that this was a tacit acquiescence, and suddenly became solemn: "Shizhen, our family only asks you one last time, are you leading the snake out of the hole, or killing two birds with one stone?" ”

This question is only Xiao Jing will think of, and only Xiao Jing will ask, although Xu Xun can prevaricate in the past, but now he has almost received Xiao Jing's huge latent power, plus he also has a little respect for this big { who has never fallen in the ups and downs, so he pondered for a moment and said: "It is also to lead the snake out of the hole, and it is also to kill two birds with one stone, just see the situation at the time." ”

"In other words, if there is a chance, you are also ready to get rid of Liu Jin, Zhang Yonggu, Dayong and others?"

"Grandpa Xiao, this is looking down on me." Xu Xun didn't expect Xiao Jing to think that he had such a big appetite, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If you can take it out, take one out, if you can't, you can teach people a lesson." Besides, Zhang Yong and I are battlefield robes, Gu Dayong and I have a stake in it, I have nothing to do with them when I am full? ”

Xiao Jing didn't ask Xu Xun who the person he wanted to take out was, and after laughing, he nodded and said, "That's it, it's okay, it's up to you." There is only one I learned that you will be selected, the queen's candidate for the queen mother and the queen mother have been decided, if it weren't for this, the emperor wouldn't be upset if he wanted to soak in the West Garden...... Speaking of which, it's also days! "Min
