Chapter 424: Wang Mandu (2)

Suzhou, Wu County.

When it comes to Suzhou, it can't help but remind people of Tiger Hill.

As a landmark scenery in Suzhou, Tiger Hill was originally called Haiyong Mountain.

Legend has it that in ancient times, it was a sea with many islands in the sea, and Tiger Hill Mountain was the shortest. Every time the tide rises and falls, Tiger Hill sinks and floats, looming, so there is the name of 'Haiyong Mountain'. However, during the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu Lu fought with the Yue Kingdom and died of his wounds. His son buried him in Tiger Hill, and it is said that three days after the burial, someone saw a white tiger squatting on the mountain, so he renamed Haiyong Mountain Tiger Hill.

And in Tiger Hill Mountain, there are also two very famous scenes.

Sword Pool is one of them.

The reason why it is called 'Sword Pond' is also known in various legends.

If you look at it from above, the pool is like a long sword, so it is called the sword pool; Some people also say that after the death of King Wu Lu, 3,000 swords were buried, so it is called Sword Pool. Even, there is a legend that this sword pool is the entrance to the tomb of King Wu.

On the left side of the Tiger Hill Cliff, there is the word 'Sword Pond' in seal inscription, which is said to be the book of Wang Xi.

The moonlight is bright, reflecting on the cliff wall engraved with the word 'sword pool', and there seem to be three thousand sword qi permeating the vertical and horizontal in a trance.

In front of the cliff, there was a man standing.

She was dressed in black, but her clothes were slightly loose, which set off her petite figure and posture.

The wind blew, stirring the black-clothed hunter, bathed in the moonlight, like an immortal who wanted to ride the wind back.

"Amei, I've been waiting for a long time."

A soft, sweet voice rang out, and a woman approached from a distance.

She wore an aqua blue skirt with a waist under her chest and a half-arm over it.

If Yang Shouwen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that woman was the Su lady of the Su family in Wu County.

She walks delicately, like a willow in the wind. Plus she's petite. People can't help but feel pity.

The woman in black turned around and gestured to Su Niangzi.

"It doesn't hurt to be able to enjoy the miracles of the Right Monarch here, even if you wait a little longer."

"It's windy here, why don't we talk somewhere else?"

"Forget it, right here, I'll feel safer."

The woman in black fell silent after speaking.

And Su Niangzi was not forced. After smiling slightly, he said softly: "The treasure of Huangtai has been found, and there is gold worth 40 million guan inside, ready to be shipped to the divine capital." ”

"When?"

"Now they are counting, such a huge amount of gold, it is estimated that it will not be shipped at one time.

According to Alang's message, it is estimated that the first gold will be escorted away at the end of September. What Ah Lang means is to let go of the first gold and focus on the last gold. So. The risk will be relatively reduced. ”

"Doesn't that mean you have to keep waiting?"

"What, I can't bear your apprentice?"

When the woman in black heard this, a touch of warmth appeared on her originally cold face.

"If I delay too long, I will delay the foundation of the young lady.

This matter, it's better to end it as soon as possible, and I still have to go to Shuzhou. Please Azhu help...... Can't you make it earlier? ”

"I'll discuss this with Alang."

Su Niangzi finished speaking. The conversation suddenly changed and said softly: "Ah Mei, aren't you really going to consider Ah Lang's suggestion?" ”

"What advice?"

"It's just a young lady's business......"

The woman in black suddenly became excited, and said sharply: "This is absolutely impossible!" No one should try to snatch the young lady out of my hands, she is my child. ”

"But you have to know that you were the young lady who snatched it from Yang Shouwen."

"What?"

Su Niangzi was stunned for a moment. said: "If Yang Shouwen is only the son of the governor of Changping County, you will snatch it away."

But the problem is that Yang Shouwen has now become famous and has won the favor of the saint...... Moreover, his Lao Tzu is no longer the unliterate Changping County Lieutenant. He is a son of the Hongnong Yang family. If you don't hand over the young lady, you will have to face the Zheng family, one of the five surnames, and the Hongnong Yang family. Amei, I'm here for your sake. ”

A Yang Shouwen can't make the woman in black frightened.

But if you add the Zheng family and the Yang family, she has to be cautious.

After a long silence, she shook her head and said, "Alain, you don't have to persuade me anymore...... I will never hand it over. It's great that after the young lady got my mantle, I took her to Yang Shouwen to make it clear. If Yang Shouwen still wants to trouble me, how can my Mei Niangzi be afraid of him? That's all I have to say, in short, I won't hand over the young lady to His Highness. ”

Seeing that Mei Niangzi was resolute, Su Niangzi no longer persuaded her.

She smiled: "I knew that you wouldn't change your mind, as proud as Amei, how could you be frightened by that Yang Shouwen."

Alright, I'm going back!

Regarding the matter of gold, I will discuss it with Ah Lang again, and you can wait for my news. ”

"Well, I'll stay around here.

If there's any news, tie a red ribbon to the ancient pine tree next to the sword pond, and I'll be waiting for you here. ”

Su Niangzi nodded, and after a slight blessing, she turned around and left.

However, the moment she turned around, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

Amei, I've already given you a chance...... Since you are stubborn, when Ah Lang wants to trouble you, don't blame me for being ruthless.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At dawn, a light rain fell in Jiangbei.

The rain was not very heavy, but the rain was cool...... An autumn rain and a cold, sure enough!

Yang Shouwen walked down from the boat, and he already had an extra piece of sheath on his body.

On the dock, there was a group of people and several large cars, quietly lined up there. When Mingxiu appeared, a big man led by him stepped forward, bowed to Mingxiu and said, "Shiro, Ah Weng heard that you are going to Luoyang, and ordered me to accompany you." ”

"Do you want such a big scene, so many people?"

"Shiro went to the Shendu this time, representing the face of the Ming family.

Xiao Langjun is not in Luoyang now, the house has long been deserted, Shiro is going, and someone needs to take care of him, and please don't embarrass me. ”

"I can live in the Green House."

Mingxiu muttered, but didn't insist too much.

He turned his head to Yang Shouwen and said, "Oh, you're happy...... But. My uncle's house is not far from Tongma Mo, and I can still harass you often. By the way, remember to prepare more Lumenchun and Qingping tunes when the time comes, and I will give them away at that time. ”

Lumenchun and Qingping are two kinds of wine, mainly concentrated in the Central Plains and Youzhou regions.

Among them, Lumenchun is dominated by the Central Plains. Qingping tunes are mainly sold in Youzhou. In the land of Jiangzuo, these two wines are less common. But when Mingxiu learned about these two wines, he became interested. It's just that his attitude made Yang Shouwen a little unhappy, and he took it for granted...... Do you have a half-dime relationship with me when you give it away?

"Humph!"

Yang Shouwen snorted and scolded in a low voice: "When I came to Suzhou this time, the biggest mistake was to know you, a ruffian. ”

"Hehe, my biggest gain is getting to know you."

Mingxiu said. Pointing at the big man, he said with a smile: "This is the twenty-eighth night of my Ming family, and their parents followed their uncle to the divine capital. His name is Mingli, and his skills are not bad. If you go one-on-one, it is estimated that your Yang Jasmine is not an opponent. ”

"Who called me?"

Jasmine Yang was leading the horse down from the boat, and when she heard someone mention his name, she said yes.

Yang Shouwen glanced at the strong man. The light in his eyes couldn't help but stare at it.

This strong man looks very ordinary, and his appearance is not very conspicuous. But on his body. But there is an unspeakable temperament that makes Yang Shouwen feel very dangerous. Mingxiu is not wrong, if it is just a simple competition, Yang Jasmine will definitely be able to beat the other party. But if it is a life-and-death fight, although Yang Jasmine is powerful, I am afraid that she is not his enemy.

It's an experience.

A person who came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. It is by no means comparable to those who simply practice martial arts.

Just like Li Yuanfang...... At the beginning, Yang Shouwen and he did it in the Great Maitreya Temple, and Yang Shouwen did not fall behind. But in fact, the nature of the exchange was even greater. Both sides left some strength and did not really lay a dead hand.

If Li Yuanfang and Yang Shouwen fought to the death that time. Yang Shouwen is estimated to be difficult to survive.

This is also the reason why Abu Sijida thought about leaving Luoyang after meeting Yang Congyi.

It was a land of right and wrong, and all kinds of prosperity were dazzling. You can live, you can enjoy ...... But for warriors, Luoyang is a gentle township that is easy to make people depressed. After all, there are too many temptations out there! Jeddah later left and realized this. Thinking of Jeddah, Yang Shouwen suddenly felt a little worried.

It's been a long time since Jeddah left Luoyang, and I don't know how he's doing in Tingzhou now?

Is it still like him in Changping, struggling with life and death every day?

Yang Shouwen decided that after returning to Luoyang, he must write a letter to Tingzhou to inquire about the situation in Jeddah.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There are a lot of people sent by the Ming family, in addition to the twenty-eight nights in the mouth of Ming Xiu, there is also a retinue, there are as many as thirty or forty people.

Coupled with Yang Shouwen's subordinates and Zhang Jiuling's entourage, the number of people in this team is nearly 100 people.

In addition to their horses, they had six carriages. If you add Yang Shouwen's two, there are eight cars.

Eight cars, nearly 100 people, this team marched, mighty, quite spectacular.

Fortunately, these servants of the Ming family have obviously undergone strict training, whether they are riding horses or driving, they are very proficient. The team galloped along the official road, and the speed was not very fast, but it was not a problem to travel two or three hundred miles in a day.

On top of that, because of these carriages and horses, they don't have to go into the city to stay overnight.

Tired, take turns.

Some people rest in their cars, others drive the vehicles.

Walking before dawn every day, and sleeping in the wilderness after nightfall, Yang Shouwen experienced a different taste.

"At this rate, we will be able to reach Luoyang on August 12."

Mingxiu smiled and said to Yang Shouwen: "Am I not very smart, I am a genius to rush by the method of rotation." ”

"Born a waste."

Yang Shouwen replied coldly, which immediately provoked laughter from Zhang Jiuling, Lu Chengzhi and others.

Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu are simply a natural comic combination. Since the beginning of Taibodu, the two of them have not stopped bickering. Mingxiu is repeatedly defeated, defeated again and again, and there is no discouragement at all. As for Yang Shouwen, he has the attitude that as long as you Mingxiu agrees, I will definitely oppose it. often one or two sentences make Mingxiu speechless.

In this way, it adds a lot of fun to this monotonous journey.

Everyone also got to know each other more while they were on the road......

This time, Yang Shouwen did not take a detour or hide his whereabouts, but chose the nearest road, and after getting off the boat from Sizhou, he went to Bianzhou through Xuzhou and Songzhou, and went straight to Luoyang. The whole journey, about 1,500 miles, is not very close. However, under the rush of everyone day and night, they entered the territory of Bianzhou on the tenth day of August.

After entering Bianzhou, a heavy rain suddenly came.

The rain was heavy and blocked the road.

According to the original plan, they were going to cross the chasm before dark, even if they entered Zhengzhou.

But the sudden heavy rain caused the water of the chasm to swell.

The flash flood from the upstream washed away the ferry of the chasm canal, making Yang Shouwen and his party can only look at the flood and sigh.

"Zheng Shilang, this rain is not small, and if you don't get it right, there may be a second wave of flash floods.

We're in a bit of a danger here, there's a hill there, it's higher, and there's a pavilion just right to shelter from the rain and the torrents. ”

Gao Lishi put on a cloak and ran to Yang Shouwen and shouted.

Looking in the direction of his finger, there was indeed a hill not far away, and the pavilion on the hill could be faintly seen.

"What is this place?"

Yang Shouwen jumped off the horse, muddy water splashing.

Gao Lishi said: "The name of this place is Wang Mandu, the mountain is called Octagonal Mountain, and the pavilion is called Octagonal Pavilion...... We can wait for the rain to stop before we cross the river. From here to Luoyang, it only takes three days at most, and we will definitely be in time. ”
