Yin Yuan seemed to have thought of some foolproof strategy, and said: "What Brother Cao Xian said inspired Brother Wei, and now there are two ways, one is to "go", of course, it is not Jingluo and me, but Brother Cao Xian to go, but Brother Cao Xian's "go" is said, and it is not a simple escape. ”

Cao Qi listened anxiously and said: "I said Brother Yin, it's getting dark now, can you stop selling Guanzi, say it quickly." ”

Yin Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's getting late, I'm hungry again, if I remember well, there should be a small fishing village not far ahead, let's find a place to rest and fill our stomachs first." ”

Yun Meng knew at a glance that Yin Yuan was confident, so he asked Cao Qi not to say much, just listen to Yin Yuan's arrangement.

The group of four walked forward for more than two miles, and really saw a fishing village. The fishing village is not big and there are more than 30 households, the small fishing village is very quiet, at this time just turned on the lights, found a family, the fishermen are simple, Yin Yuan and others explained their intentions, and gave some silver taels, the fishermen cleaned up an empty house for everyone, put on some porridge and vegetables, a few people can not care about the taste, around the wolf vomiting and swallowing, in the blink of an eye, the pots and bowls will be eaten cleanly.

Yin Yuan pushed the bowl and said to everyone: "When you are full, let's continue to talk about business." Just now I said that Brother Cao Xian has a way to 'walk', which is what I mean. It turned out that Yin Yuan suddenly thought that he also had an old friend, surnamed Cui Mingting, the word is long, but after the general, now he is a lieutenant under the account of General Zhennan, stationed in Zhenjiang Prefecture, General Pingnan loves talent very much, and has a law to govern the army. Yin Yuan plans to write a letter to recommend Cao Qi to Cui Ting, Cao Qi is full of martial arts, why worry that there is no place to show it, and he can avoid the current limelight, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Yun Meng and Cao Qi were also very happy when they heard it.

Yun Meng said: "It's still my brother's foresight, so Cao Qi and I won't be worried." So, what's the other way? ”

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "After Brother Cao Xian's matter is resolved, there are still you and me?" You and I both think this is a little strange, although the proclamation does not mention you and me, but we must not rush back to the city, and we can't go elsewhere like Brother Cao Xian, and now we can only use the trick of throwing stones to ask for directions. ”

Yun Meng said: "Yes, that's the only way." Brother, little brother is known in Jiankang, you can go and find out, how about it? ”

Yin Yuan said: "Brother Xian, for my brother I feel that if you go, it is extremely dangerous, today's Jiankang is proud of being dependent on the powerful, everyone seems to be comparing the background, comparing the background, the virtuous brother has no relatives and no reason in the capital, no dependence, respect for the teacher and the dragon to see the head but not the end." It's hard to be lucky if you get caught. For the sake of today, it is relatively safe to enter the city only for the brother. ”

"But isn't it more dangerous for my brother to be more famous, and to attract too much attention?" Yun Meng asked.

Yin Yuan replied with a smile: "No, it is precisely for my brother that he has some reputation, and on the contrary, it is safe." Xie and Wang's family have tried every possible way to woo me over the years, but they haven't agreed to it for their brother, and now that this has happened, isn't it just giving Xie and Wang's family a chance? Therefore, it is most appropriate to make this stone for my brother to ask for directions. ”

Yun Meng said: "Brother's analysis is somewhat reasonable, but it is still extremely risky. However, if the elder brother wants to go back, it is okay for Yun Meng to go back with his brother. If the elder brother doesn't let Yun Meng go with him, Yun Meng won't let his brother go. ”

"Okay, then go back together, take care of him Longtan Tiger's Den, and you and my brother will go together." Yin Yuan said with a smile.

Cao Qi next to him heard that Yun Meng and Yin Yuan were going to venture into the city, and shouted: "If you want to go, Cao Qi has to go too." In case of danger, it is good to have a response. ”

Yun Meng smiled at Cao Qi and said: "It's okay, Cao Qi is too worried, just now we are just joking, with my brother here, there will be no danger when I return to the city." But you have to do what your brother has arranged, and you can't repeat it. Cao Qi touched the back of his head and nodded in agreement.

Yin Yuan repaired a book overnight, and handed over all the silver money on his body to Cao Qi with Yun Meng, and carefully explained to Cao Qi. Before dawn, they urged Cao Qi to set off, and the three of them sent Yin Yuan to the entrance of the village, and Yun Meng and Cao Qi said goodbye with tears. Sending Cao Qi away, Yun Meng and Yin Yuan took Qing Yao and walked towards Jiankang City with high spirits, not worrying about it in their hearts along the way, who knows what awaits them.

Yesterday they escaped from the east gate, today Yun Meng and the three of them are still preparing to enter the city from the east gate, at this time the city gate is still as usual people come and go, the traffic is busy, and there is no increase in sergeants at the gate, but there is an arrest announcement hanging at the city gate, and it is indeed only the head of Cao Qi. Qing Yao muttered in a low voice: "Strange, yesterday the city was full of yamen dukes, and there were checks at the city gates, why is it such a scene today?" ”

The three of them still did not dare to be careless, nor did they dare to look at the notice, and walked quickly into the city with the flow of people. When they entered the city, it was still calm as usual, and some people even greeted Yin Yuan, and the three of them were even more suspicious. Yin Yuan first sent Yun Meng back to his residence, told him not to go out for the time being, and then discussed after he inquired about the news, and returned to his residence alone.

At night, a big mansion in Jiankang City, a master and a servant in the secret room, the master is a middle-aged man, the servant is a white-haired old man, at this time the master is facing the old servant sitting behind the table, playing with a jade pendant given to him by the ancestor in his hand, the light in the secret room is very dim, only a lamp on the master's table, almost can't see the master's face, from time to time there is a green light on the jade pendant reflected on the master's face. "Is it all arranged?" The master asked, his voice magnetic.

"Everything is arranged according to the master's instructions, Jingzhao Yin's Mansion is still acquainted, but the Wang family has taken some troubles." The old man replied respectfully.

"Humph! Wang family, no matter how arrogant you are, even the saints today will not be able to protect you. Did the black boy find out, what is the background? The host asked.

The old servant replied: "Check yes, that black man is the city he entered that day, and he doesn't seem to have any origin, just a rough man who is easy to fight." That guy and they should have only met by chance. ”

The master didn't make a sound again, and was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, "Master, the situation has changed now, how to deal with that kid?" "Asked?" asked the old servant.

The master muttered: "That's not necessary, since his chess may be exposed, then we will simply let him become a Ming chess, for Yin Yuan he still has use value." ”

"Do you want him to know who you are?" The old servant asked again.

The master was silent for a while and said, "Let him know if you should know, but prepare first, you can retreat first." ”

"Yes, the old slave obeys." The old servant stepped backwards and walked out of the secret room, and saw his face clearly with the help of the moonlight, it was Yu Weng.

Nothing happened for a few days, it seemed that the situation had calmed down, and Yin Yuan had also investigated privately, but there was no result, and the two stopped mentioning the matter. Another day, Yin Yuan came to find Yun Meng, and when he entered the door, he said to Yun Meng: "Brother Xian, if you encounter something difficult for your brother, you must discuss with Brother Xian." ”

Yun Meng was inexplicable, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" Could it be that something went wrong, and I ask my brother to take his time. ”

The two sat down, Yin Yuan waved his hand, took another sip of water and said: "This matter is allowed to be discussed by brother and virtuous brother, after Zhao Shihu had a first-class governor named Fu Hong, Fu Hong is a nobleman of the Di people, and he does not send people under the fence, after Shi Hu's death, Fu Hong sent an envoy to my court to ask for surrender, and the court also allowed him to take the throne, but he was not satisfied, and took advantage of the civil strife in the Zhao court to proclaim himself the governor of the capital, the general, the great single Yu, and the king of Sanqin, and openly betrayed the court. The imperial court then sent the general Huan Yuantong Zhulu army to crusade against the Fu clan, but the result was a loss of troops and a great defeat. The imperial court accused General Huan of being inappropriately commanded, and recited his past military exploits and ordered him to think about it in the palace. ”

Yun Meng said: "This Huan general, Yun Meng has also heard of it a long time ago, it is said that this man is a genius of the world, and he has many military exploits, and this general is also one of the few generals who advocated the Northern Expedition in the current dynasty, and has an excellent reputation among the people. Why did the imperial court convict the court for just one defeat? And what does this have to do with my brother? The younger brother is not knowing and asks the elder brother to speak clearly. ”

Yin Yuan said again: "Just say that this matter really has nothing to do with being a brother, but today, the head of the Wang family, that is, the current Da Sima Wang Ling, suddenly sent someone to the official document to ask me to the Da Sima Mansion for questioning, and the brother thought that it was the killing of the Wang family's slave that day that was exposed, and the Wang family wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, and there was nothing to do for a while, so he had no choice but to follow the person to the Da Sima Mansion. When I arrived at the Great Sima Mansion, Wang Ling did not mention the events of that day, but was very polite to me, only inviting me to come and discuss some issues, talk about current affairs, and ask me what I thought about the Northern Expedition and the imperial court's punishment of Hengyuan. Isn't it strange that you say, Brother Xian? ”

Yun Meng said: "It's indeed a bit abnormal, but the younger brother still thinks that the elder brother may be a little cautious." Do you think it's been a day or two since the Wang Xie family has been wooing their brother for a day, isn't it normal to be like this today? ”

"Brother Xian's words were analyzed by the brother at the beginning, but there are still two questions for the brother, one is that in the past, it was true that the Wang Xie family had won over me many times, but it was never like today when the head of the family saw me in person. The second is that Wang Ling also passed on a message to his brother, saying that the king of Huiji wanted to summon his brother, and it was said that he had something important to ask for. Brother Xian, you said that this is not very strange, for the brother now trusts the brother the most, no, he came out of the Great Sima Mansion and came directly to discuss with the brother Xian. ”

Yun Meng pondered for a while and said, "It's indeed a little strange to hear my brother say this. Obviously, this time it is not the big Sima Wang Ling who really wants to see his brother, but the king of Huiji, and he also has to discuss important matters, it seems that it is not simple! ”

Yin Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid that my brother will really be involuntary at that time, and he may become a pawn of others." ”
