After talking with Fang Gui and Li Ba, Yun Meng felt that the mystery surrounding him was becoming more and more complicated, and many of the original doubts had not been solved, but now his identity had also become a mystery.

Yun Meng's boat is from east to west, along the river upstream, and the hull is not large, so the travel does not feel very stable, up and down has become a common thing, Yun Meng also slowly adapted. On this day, Yun Meng was sitting alone in the cabin thinking about his next step, when he heard Li Ba say outside: "It's finally almost here, I've been tired enough in the past few days." ”

Li Ba said this, Yun Meng was also a little curious, so he got up and walked out of the cabin, but saw that the river was much wider at some point, and under the extreme view, he could see the rippling water on the left and right sides of the river, and there seemed to be many lakes connected. Then he asked, "Brother Li, why is this?" ”

Li Ba glanced at Yun Meng and replied: "I'm waiting for the ship to sail into the water surface of the Xunyang River, and then go up more than thirty miles, turn around a water inlet in front, and arrive at Xunyang City, where the big camp of Beifu is located." ”

It has been recorded in the "Book of Shang" about Xunyang, but Xunyang was ruled by Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty, and due to frequent wars in this dynasty, the people in the north moved south, and the definition of the state capitals has also changed.

Yun Meng was looking at the river and thinking, "I don't know what I will face when I arrive in Jiangzhou." Fang Gui didn't know when he walked to Yun Meng's side, patted Yun Meng with his hand and said: "Now that we have arrived at the boundary of Jiangzhou, the big camp in Beifu is full of detectives and secret sentinels, in order to reduce trouble, Gongzi is still aggrieved, please return to the cabin until we call you, otherwise you must not come out." Yun Meng understood, nodded in agreement, and stayed in the cabin as he had done at the beginning.

So Yun Meng returned to the cabin, leaning on a corner to close his eyes and recuperate, about an hour later, suddenly some sounds gradually came into Yun Meng's ears, and the sound became clearer and clearer, as if there was the sound of hunting with the flag dancing in the wind, and there seemed to be the crisp sound of the friction of the armor and armor leaves, and even the occasional neighing of horses, but there was no human voice. After a while, Yun Meng felt a slight shock from the boat, and then stopped moving, Yun Meng understood that this was the boat docking, and it seemed that it was to Xunyang Ferry. But the surroundings were still very quiet, not as lively and noisy as the docks in other places, and Fang Gui and Li Ba did not call themselves out. Could it be that he was waiting for something, Yun Meng also had no bottom in his heart.

"Have you arrived?" A loud but heavily nasal male voice came into Yun Meng's ears.

"Back to my lord, in, in, in the cabin." This is the voice of Fang Gui.

The man said "um", and then saw that the curtain on the cabin was lifted from the outside, and then Fang Gui poked his head in, and said to Yun Meng: "Childe has arrived, please come out." ”

Yun Meng calmed down, nodded, and slowly walked out of the cabin.

The scene in front of Yun Meng couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see two columns of black-armored warriors, about 100 people, standing on the bank of the river, the armor was shining with black light, the black flag was waving with the wind, one of the black flags was embroidered with two big golden characters "Beifu", and the other black flag was embroidered with a golden word "Xie", although hundreds of people gathered at the small wharf, it was silent, the scene was extremely solemn, and the heart was suddenly chilled. However, Yun Meng had already been mentally prepared, but he wondered in his heart, "Do you need such a big scene to arrest a powerless Yun Meng?" ”

Looking at the dock again, there was a white horse that was particularly eye-catching, and a warrior was sitting on the horse, not wearing black armor, but wearing a silver helmet and silver armor on his body, and this person was also squinting at Yun Meng at this time. Yun Meng didn't care too much, thinking that this person was just an officer who wanted to arrest him.

Unexpectedly, the silver armor general did not order someone to escort Yun Meng off the boat, but turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet and handed it to the sergeant on the side, and strode towards Yun Meng. Yun Meng also saw the appearance of the military general, only to see that the eyebrows of this life were clear and beautiful, the nose was straight and the mouth was square, and the face was like white jade.

This person walked to the boat that Yun Meng was on, clasped his fist at Yun Meng on the boat, and said in a thick nasal voice: "Yun Gongzi has worked hard all the way, and he will be waiting here for a long time. ”

Yun Meng was surprised in his heart, and secretly thought, "Looking at the situation in front of you, it doesn't seem that you want to blame me." What's the point? I wanted to think about it, but Yun Mengli didn't forget it, and he hurriedly said: "In Xia Yunmeng, I don't know the general's name?" ”

The general laughed, and then said, "I'm a nobody, so don't mention it." Behind Yun Meng, Li Ba quietly stepped forward and said in his ear: "This general is Xie Ping, Xie Shi'an, the commander of the Beifu battalion. ”

Yun Meng was shocked when he heard Li Ba say this, and hurriedly said again: "Foot is not because he was deeply appreciated by the famous man Wang Meng when he was a teenager, and he even said, 'This guest is in a hurry, in order to force people.'" 'Xie Ping'? ”

The military general smiled slightly and said, "It's not enough to be famous." It's a talented son, Xie has heard about it for a long time, and when he saw it today, he really had an extraordinary bearing. The cold air by the river is pressing, this place is not a place to speak, the son still gets off the boat, and follows Xie to the camp to talk again, how about it? ”

Yun Mengping's favorite favorite befriending celebrities in his life, as soon as he saw the famous Xie Ping in front of him, he didn't care what the reason for being sent to Jiangzhou was, but he was interested, so he got off the boat and followed Xie Ping into Xunyang City.

Xie Ping did not ride a horse again, but accompanied Yun Meng to walk into Xunyang City, Xie Ping introduced Xunyang City to Yun Meng while walking, the original Xunyang City in front of him, can only be called the old city, it is the old site of Xunyang City in the Han Dynasty, the new Xunyang City in this dynasty is still in the southwest of the ancient city eighty miles away. Yun Meng then understood, no wonder there were no people and shops here, and everywhere were army soldiers, it turned out that this Xunyang Ancient City was actually a big military camp.

After a while, Yun Meng was led by Xie Ping to the gate of a mansion, the gate of the mansion was open, the red plaque was hung high, and two golden characters "Xie Mansion" were written on it. Yun Meng only frowned slightly when he saw it, and he didn't say anything. Entering the Xie Mansion, both the courtyard and the hall are extremely frugal and low-key, without the slightest luxury. Entering the main hall, Xie Ping asked Yun Meng to sit first, he did not sit in the main seat, but sat down next to Yun Meng, and ordered someone to serve hot tea and braziers. Then, he stepped back and asked Yun Meng softly, "Does Childe have a lot of questions in his heart, but he doesn't know where to start?" ”

Yun Meng's face changed slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "Mr. Xie's contemporary celebrity, I heard that Mr. has always been arrogant, and he looks down on officialdom the most in his life, so he lives in seclusion in Dongshan and is unwilling to set foot in officialdom. ”

After Xie Ping heard Yun Meng's words, he laughed again, and then said: "Yun Gongzi is really powerful, he didn't answer Xie Mou's question, but questioned Xie Mou." Anyway, time was pressing, so Xie went straight to the knife and told everything to the son. When Yun Meng heard Xie Ping say this, he was even more puzzled.

Xie Ping pondered for a moment and continued: "When everything is said, the words are long. Indeed, as Gongzi said, Xie is really not interested in officialdom, and he really looks down on those sycophants in today's court, who fill their own pockets, fake public interests, and deceive the world and steal their reputation, and they are not willing to be with them. But when faced with the situation that the country's fortunes are like dangerous eggs, precarious, and prone to internal and external troubles, how can the people of the Great Jin Dynasty stay out of it? Isn't the same true of Childe's brother-in-law, General Yin Yuan? ”

When Yun Meng heard Xie Ping mention Yin Yuan, he seemed to have a sense of foreboding in his heart, but he didn't reveal it. Xie Ping continued: "Xie was also inspired to join the court in this situation, and I hope to do some work for the country. Xie guessed that Gongzi must have felt that Xie was pretentious at this time. So, Xie asked Gongzi a question, do you think Yin Yuan and Master Ling are true and false, right and evil, public and private? ”

Xie Ping's question is actually the last thing Yun Meng wants to face, and he can't answer it. Xie Ping didn't wait for Yun Meng's answer, and then said: "Childe doesn't have to answer Xie, in fact, Childe already has the answer in his heart. Although you didn't say it, your actions have said it all, Childe, what Xie said is right? ”

Yun Meng thought to himself, "What does Xie Ping mean, is he testing me, or is there something else?" Yun Meng smiled slightly and replied, "What does Mr. mean, can you make it clear?" It seems that letting Yun come to Jiangzhou is actually Mr.'s arrangement, right? ”

Xie Ping laughed, nodded again and said, "Oh, Yun Gongzi is really as wise as a torch, and he can see it so quickly." Indeed, it was indeed Xie's arrangement to invite the son to come, but it was also a last resort in order to save the son from fire and water! ”

When Yun Meng heard this, his brows tightened, and he asked, "What did Mr. say?" In order to rescue Yun, why is this? ”

Xie Ping took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, Childe, Xie will tell Childe about all this today." Before that, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Xie first had to make his position clear. ”

With that, Xie Ping got up and closed several doors in the main hall. He walked back to Yun Meng and said softly: "In the face of a loyal person like Gongzi, Xie will definitely treat him with sincerity." Don't hide it from the son, during the period of Xie Mou's seclusion, the Lingshi invited me many times to conspire with him, and now it seems that of course it is nothing more than those so-called Northern Expedition righteousness and so on. At first, Xie was also like a son, and was moved by his bold words. I gladly accepted, and slowly Xie found a lot of things that were becoming more and more abnormal, especially after I was transferred to the post of commander of the Beifu Capital, most of what I saw and did were a lot of shady deeds, either to eliminate dissidents or to assassinate secretly. Xie also raised objections, but they were all prevaricated by Lingshi for various reasons. That is, after experiencing the so-called Prince Qin of Jiankang, Xie completely saw the sanctimony of this general Huan. Later, the Queen Mother secretly summoned Xie, and the Queen Mother had a long talk with me with all her heart, making Xie realize that if no one could stop Huan Yuan, he would continue to let him dominate. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the tail will not be lost, and there will be no need for foreign enemies to attack, and the Great Jin will also die. Therefore, Xie is still nominally obeying orders under Huan Yuan, but secretly he is contacting the loyal and virtuous people in the DPRK and the rivers and lakes in order to revitalize the clan and fight against Huan Yuan. ”

After hearing what Xie Ping said, Yun Meng was still skeptical, and asked, "What does Mr. and Yun Meng mean by saying this?" Aren't you worried that Yun Meng won't be able to tell the truth? ”

Xie Ping laughed again: "It seems that Gongzi is still on guard against Xie, in fact, this is also human nature, even if you and I talk about it here for the time being, Gongzi is tired from traveling all the way, so I will go to the guest room to rest first, and then Xie will ask Gongzi to talk about it in the future." ”

Yun Meng really needed to sort out his thoughts, so he pushed the boat down the river and thanked him. He was led by the people of Xie Mansion to the guest room to rest.
