Chapter 64: Who Holds the Umbrella in the Smoke and Rain (Part II)

Xing**Tongshan County, Dieshan Courtyard.

The mountains stretch into the distance; Rivers crisscross the mountains and wilderness.

In the distance, you can hear loud mountain songs, and you can faintly see figures and ploughing cattle walking back and forth on the paddy fields outside the green mountains, and the curling cooking smoke and gentle wind hovering over the courtyard for a moment before dissipating.

The mountains are picturesque, the white clouds are long, and in this mountain courtyard, it really looks like a hermit who is beyond the world. I have to say that although Xie Fangde is not happy with the ups and downs of the sea, all this does not prevent him from placing his affection on the landscape, it can be said that the Dieshan Courtyard is a place for Xie Fangde to escape and relax in the face of darkness.

The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers and the shade of forests make this place more like a Wuling paradise written by Tao Yuanming, far away from the complexity and hustle and bustle of the world, and enjoy the tranquility and serenity of the mountains and forests. The surrounding villages are also small villages with little contact with the outside world, and have lived a life of slash-and-burn farming since ancient times, and even the Mongol iron cavalry rolling down during the Battle of Kublai Khan's Ezhou did not destroy the peace here.

Here, there is no war, no conspiracy, as if it did not belong to this era.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ye Yingwu was wearing a dark robe, holding a white paper fan in his hand, and walked on the bluestone slab, very leisurely, as if he had really come to this mountain courtyard for a vacation.

A gust of mountain breeze blew by, compared with the south wind that swept everything in Yongxing County, this mountain wind did not have the scorching breath carried by the south wind, it was cooler and more pleasant. The defense line of the Hundred Battles Capital was stretched far away, and the entire Stacked Mountain Courtyard was left for Ye Yingwu.

After all, Xie Fangde's family has limited financial and material resources, and the entire Dieshan Courtyard will naturally not be like Ye Yingwu's mansion with a nine-song corridor and Yuyu Qionglou, but the gurgling stream that attracts it surrounds the courtyard inside and outside, and the small pavilion stands on the stream, which has a unique flavor.

Qiqin's body is a white gauze falling to the ground, and the little lady of the Lu family is a lake-green skirt, and the two are sitting in the small pavilion, with a chess game in front of them.

Watching Ye Yingwu leisurely strolling back and forth on the path in the courtyard, Qiqin dropped a chess piece and said softly: "Sister, don't worry about Lord Lu, Lord Lu is resourceful and steady, and he can take on a big responsibility, since my husband asked him to go to Tongshan County first, there is naturally a reason for it." But my husband seems to be very leisurely, but I don't know if my sister is interested in going to the mountains with my sister, and my husband can still pull over to do coolies. ”

After all, the little lady of the Lu family saw Ye Yingwu for the second time, and the two didn't even say a word, Qiqin's invitation naturally made the little lady of the Lu family, who hadn't even spoken to a strange man before, a little overwhelmed, so she could only nod slightly.

Qiqin glanced at Ye Yingwu not far away meaningfully, her eyes were full of smiles, and this time she didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, in short, she did what she wanted.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Tongshan County, Youmenglou.

Youmenglou is the highest grade restaurant in Tongshan County, surrounded by mountains and rivers, carved beams and painted buildings.

I don't know why there is such a luxuriously decorated restaurant in Tongshan County, which is almost a poor country, even if it is a rare business traveler passing by, there is not enough silver taels to enter this restaurant. According to rumors, the backstage of this restaurant is Jia Yufeng, the magistrate of Tongshan County, relying on this luxurious restaurant, Jia Yufeng again and again let Jiang Wanli's party officials who wanted to find fault drunk and dreamed of death, and finally left satisfied, leaving behind the fact that Jia Yufeng's nail was nailed on Jiangnan West Road, where Jiang Wanli's party was based.

Even the centrist wall grass and even the officials of Jia Yidao's party will be invited by Jia Yufeng to this Youmenglou, and when these officials come out one night later, they naturally praise Jia Yufeng without a mouth, plus Jia Yuqing is quite trusted in the court, so that Jia Yufeng has been fishing for the people in the township for so many years, and there is no superior official to play the emperor.

Officials who come to Tongshan County will inevitably be invited to Youmenglou.

Jiang Ho and Wang Jin are naturally no exception.

Standing outside the gate of the palatial Youmenglou with a few murderous soldiers, Wang Jin and Jiang Hao took a breath gently, the air was not the wind, rain, mud and bloody breath that they were already familiar with, it was full of the long-lost smell of rouge.

It seems that they have returned to the days of the 36 flower streets and willow alleys, and they are still the invincible clean street tigers of the entire Lin'an.

Wang Jin held down the waist knife with one hand, and said softly: "I want to see what kind of moth this Jia Yufeng can make." ”

After all, he was a general who had experienced killing, and although he was still young, an irresistible chill emanating from Wang Jin's body still made the maids standing at the door tremble slightly. Jiang Ho on the side swept his eyes on the plaque with the words "Youmenglou" written on it, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed:

"Between the lines, I don't know how much blood and tears."

Jia Yufeng had already greeted him with officials of all sizes, Jiang Hao and Wang Jin glanced at each other, and they both found that there was undisguised disgust in each other's eyes. At that time, I didn't notice it when I met for the first time in the Shili Long Pavilion outside the city, but now I suddenly realized that all the officials looked the same fat head and big ears, as if they were moths sucking blood on the dying giant beast of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Two generals, the lower officials came out a little late, and I ask the two generals to forgive their sins." Jia Yufeng still had a sneer, but several henchmen who were familiar with him knew that this magistrate, who had some means, must have clenched his teeth at this time.

Jiang Hao glanced at him coldly: "Lead the way ahead, this Youmenglou in Tongshan County can be regarded as a long-term admirer, so you have to appreciate it." ”

Jia Yufeng's eyes did not have any expression change, he just clenched his fists slightly, the smirk on his face stiffened, and then became very vivid again: "The two generals are willing to come to Youmenglou with their faces, it is indeed an honor for the lower officials to come to the third life, so please invite the two generals to follow the lower officials inside, and the last greeting outside is not the lower officials' inconsiderate hospitality?" ”

Before the words fell, he made a gesture of invitation respectfully, and then walked into the Youmeng Building first. Jiang Hao and Wang Jin held the hilt of the knife expressionlessly, and took a step, followed by several guards behind them. Jiang Hao, Wang Jin and their guards all looked lightly armed, just brought a waist knife, and did not wear armor at all, but insiders could see that they must have hidden hidden weapons such as sleeve arrows and other unprepared weapons in their slightly wide sleeves, and although the formation of several people standing was a little messy, it could quickly form a defensive formation, as long as Jia Yufeng dared to play any tricks, this few people could also make Jia Yufeng pay a heavy price.

What's more, there are two elite soldiers of the Tianwu Army stationed outside the city, even if they are not enough, they can't be underestimated, at least they can't be stopped by relying on those officials and township soldiers in Tongshan County.

There were no other guests in the entire Youmeng Building, making the palatial lobby seem a little empty.

Passing through the main building, there is a deep courtyard behind it, and no one would have thought that here is separated by a wall of bustling towns, as if the gods had drawn a barrier between this courtyard and everything.

The smell of fat powder in the air has faded a lot, and there is more of a faint fragrance of flowers, and the smell of flowers in this kind of restaurant shows the amount of money invested in the restaurant and the depth of the owner's intentions.

Wang Jin swept his gaze in the darkness around him with a little uneasiness, except for the lantern that Jia Yufeng personally lit in front, there was hardly any light, only the small building in front of him that was transcendent from things, still exuding a faint light, as if it was the only shining star in the darkness, tempting all travelers who traveled thousands of miles.

Such an arrangement can only be seen in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Lin'an City, and only the real nobles are qualified to set foot here. Wang Jin and Jiang Hao are both in the Thirty-six Flower Street Willow Lane in the king and hegemony, looking around there is already a conclusion in my heart, although it seems to be quiet and prosperous coexist, but in fact, the surrounding layout is still difficult to compare with the high-end Qinglou Chu Hall in Lin'an, can only be regarded as a medium level, but so the restaurant appears in a small county under this Xing**, but it is definitely tall.

Before the people entered the building, the ethereal singing had already penetrated the night, echoing above the starless and moonless night sky. This is followed by a bamboo flute and silk pipe, which adds a more elegant and calm feeling to the ethereal singing.

Taking a light breath, Wang Jin and Jiang Hao walked into the small building one after the other.

The light yarn of the curtain is all pink, hazy and hazy to tug at people's heartstrings. Above the hall of the small building, two tables were placed in front of it, and there was only one table on one side, and it was obvious that only Jia Yufeng was qualified to sit under Wang Jin and Jiang Hao in the entire Tongshan County.

Wang Jin and Jiang Hao didn't shirk and sat down directly, while Jia Yufeng bowed slightly, and then clapped his hands gently, and the officials sitting below seemed to be used to it, and sat up straight and didn't move. The singing gradually drifted away, replaced by two rows of dancers, only wrapped in light veils, dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo, even a few officials who had seen it many times still couldn't help but stare at their eyes, and their saliva was about to flow down.

Jia Yufeng nodded with a smile, and looked at the reaction of the two young generals with the corner of his eye, this is only the first move, I don't know how many people fell into this fat powder array, it stands to reason that Jiang Hao and Wang Jin are both young people with strong blood, and it is almost impossible to resist the temptation of this red fruit.

But the two of them sat upright like that, as if they didn't see the song and dance in front of them at all, ignoring the gloomy atmosphere that slowly spread in the air.

Jia Yufeng took a light breath and glanced at the henchman sitting by the incense burner, who nodded slowly, and then threw the sachet in his hand while Jiang Hao and Wang Jin's eyes were gone.

Jiang Hao and Wang Jin are both kings and hegemons in the Willow Lane of the Thirty-six Flower Streets in Lin'an, Jia Yufeng really didn't think that just a glamorous dance could make the two of them lose their souls, but if they add a little aphrodisiac now, I don't know if they can hold on.

In this Youmenglou, there is no one who does not miss it, and there is no one who does not speak to Jia Yufeng!

Jiang Ho didn't even look at the dance in front of him, but he was a little bored with the food in front of him with chopsticks, and Wang Jin next to him still respected the master and occasionally looked up.

For them, the front is just some vulgar powder that can't be put on the table, and it doesn't look good at all. As for Jia Yufeng's instructions to his subordinates to sprinkle medicine into the incense burner, Wang Jin and Jiang Hao also noticed it, but they really didn't bother to care about those, in some low-grade hook columns, this method is often used to achieve the purpose of staying guests, after so many years of experience, Jiang Hao and Wang Jin are completely immune to this kind of aphrodisiac that is only a trace amount.

"What exactly does Yuan Lie want to do this time?" Wang Jin frowned slightly and said softly.

Jiang Hao lazily drank the wine in the cup: "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, anyway, he doesn't ask you and me to do anything at all, as long as you do what you want." Judging from today, Jia Yufeng has no idea of escaping at all, since this is the case, you and I will stare at him to death. Don't think that you can't see it, your kid is like a mirror in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have stationed his subordinates directly on the official road that must be passed through in the south of Tongshan County. ”

Wang Jin smiled bitterly: "In this case, can you and my brother indulge themselves tonight?" I just don't know how Jia Yufeng's richly decorated Youmenglou can only have this kind of vulgar powder that can't be on the table? I'm going to see if this guy has anything to do with it today besides a little medicine. ”

Before the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Jia Yufeng, who was not far away, couldn't help but shiver lightly.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The night is hazy, and the distance is light and misty.

The shadows of the trees on both sides are swaying, and the long mountain road stretches into the distance, as if there is no end.

The fine and dense rain shrouds the infinite rivers and mountains, and also shrouds the winding bluestone path. Halfway up the mountainside, the courtyard shimmered with a faint light, like a fishing fire swaying in the wind, guiding pedestrians in the night.

Ye Yingwu held the oil-paper umbrella in one hand and Qiqin in the other, fortunately, the oil-paper umbrella was quite large, so there was still a lot of space for the little lady of the Lu family to shrink there. The servants in front and behind are all in green coats and hats, with lanterns in their hands, like a little starlight.

"It's almost there." Ye Yingwu said with some embarrassment, with the little lady of the Lu family and so many family members, Ye Yingwu didn't dare to do anything to Qiqin, so he naturally endured it very hard.

The little lady of the Lu family who walked beside Ye Yingwu looked at the deep love between the two, and couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, she didn't know where her Ruyi Langjun was, and those clan elders in the family would not refuse to push themselves out to marry that wealthy family, so as to exchange for their support, and her husband could only be seen on the wedding night, and she didn't know whether he was handsome or ugly.

The little lady of the Lu family walked on the steps absentmindedly, but unexpectedly there was a small puddle in front of her, and if she didn't stand firm when she stepped on it, she was about to slip. Ye Yingwu on the side was quick-eyed, grabbed the wrist of the little lady of the Lu family, and dragged it hard, the little lady of the Lu family was like a milk swallow throwing into the forest, and the whole threw herself into Ye Yingwu's arms, Ye Yingwu did not stand firm, and sat down on the slippery steps fiercely, even the oil-paper umbrella fell to the side, and the cold rain flowed down the cheeks of the three people.

Qiqin was smiling, and the little lady of the Lu family quickly stood up from Ye Yingwu's arms, if it weren't for the cover of the night, the blush on her pretty face couldn't be covered at all: "Ye Yuanjun, I'm really sorry・・・・・・"

Ye Yingwu waved his hand, smiling a little embarrassed, obviously he was full of nephrite jade to take advantage, and he was naturally embarrassed to be cheeky at this time.

For this kind of scene, the servants who followed from afar were very clever and did not come together, but stood quietly in the wind and rain, as if they did not know anything.

"Go, go, go!" Ye Yingwu glared at Qiqin, who was smiling evilly, as if to say, "I'll clean you up tonight", and then didn't care about the clothes that were already wet when he sat on the steps, picked up the oil-paper umbrella with his hand, and smiled awkwardly at the little lady of the Lu family.

The wind and rain became more urgent, covering the figures of the three people.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, and they are as quiet as a dream.

Only the lanterns lit by the servants in the distance were still swaying in the wind and rain.
