Chapter 200: The Art of the Emperor
PS: It's finally two hundred chapters, which is a major breakthrough in my career.
A small mountain village in the north of Jinling, here is very different from Jinling City, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the trees are shady, there is less copper smell, and more elegant.
It's just a very ordinary mountain village, there is not much special, a small mountain road, several cows are grazing, and seven or eight children are playing and scattering together, and they are very happy.
On this day, a group of people came to the mountain village, more than a dozen white horses, all fierce and vicious, led by a man in a suit, looking a little obscene and a little serious.
Unpredictable.
Next to the man, there was a woman, not tall, holding a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand.
"Tang Fei, what are we doing here?"
Naturally, it was Ding Dang who spoke, and the man in white was naturally Tang Fei.
"I'll take you to play." Tang Fei ordered to walk in slowly, "Give me a smile, what should I do if I scare the child?" ”
The men, led by the big dog, laughed, but the laughter was very lewd, and the children dispersed at once when they saw the stranger coming.
There is a dry well on the side of the road, next to it is a small pavilion, on which sits an old man, not very old, is watching the chess game, and on the opposite side is a middle-aged man, quite masculine, but also a little scheming.
"Liu Tong, you better admit defeat." The old man said proudly.
"I don't recognize it." The man shook his head and said.
This man turned out to be Liu Tong, who was rumored to be dead.
"I'm rubbing, I've seen a ghost." When Tang Fei saw Liu Tong, he hurriedly dismounted and walked towards Liu Tong, "Lord Liu, why aren't you dead yet?" ”
Didn't you say that Liu Tong was dead? How did it suddenly come to life?
Liu Tong turned around with a smile: "Old man, this chess game has to be rescheduled." ”
"What are you talking about? Would you love me dead? ”
"Not really, you old fox. Everyone said you were dead, but I didn't expect to disappoint everyone, it's really-"
When the old man saw Liu Tong meet an acquaintance, he didn't mind, just put away the chessboard and walked slowly to the house.
"Liu Tong is dead." Liu Tong said lightly, and then said, "What are you doing here?" ”
In fact, Liu Tong guessed a little.
"Nothing. I'm going to Shuntianfu soon, and I'm here to see what you said about the descendants of Jinyiwei, who else do I want to give the money to, you are the best here, give it to you. Tang Fei stuffed a large number of silver tickets into Liu Tong's arms, "If they want to go to Yangliuzhai to work, it's no problem at all, find Su San, or Yu Qian." ”
Back in the day. Liu Tong promoted Tang Fei to some extent, but what happened later. The relationship between the two slowly changed, and eventually became friends. Liu Tong has the grace of knowing Tang Fei, which Tang Fei does not deny.
"Okay. I'm not polite to you, but I'm going to go into seclusion here, I'm getting old. Liu Tong said with a sigh.
"I said Lord Liu. You're only about fifty years old, right? Many of the ministers in the court are already in their seventies, and they don't go to court every day, what are you talking about? Tang Fei didn't understand. Even if you don't dare, you don't have to pretend to be dead, do you?
"Hehe, do you know why I chose you to be Qiu Lao Wu's successor in the first place? Because you are smart enough to help me get more benefits, and I can't give the emperor any benefits now, this time King Ning is in trouble, whether it is the inner dynasty or the outer dynasty, there is a big blood change, and I, as the governor of Jinling, can hardly hold the blame. The emperor won't keep me, I might as well go by myself. ”
"You mean, the emperor also knows that you are pretending to be dead?" Tang Fei frowned.
"Of course you know, but you don't know, it's okay to have a good reputation." Liu Tong said, "Although I don't know where you come from, but your days in Yangliuzhai are not long, and the matter of Qiu Lao Wu alone is not enough for you to become the second leader of Yangliuzhai, but you have done it, this is because, with the support of the big boss, indeed, Yangliuzhai needs a brain like you, whether it is Liu Siyan or the big dog, they can't replace you." ”
"You are the big boss of Yangliuzhai, but you are not a bully. I heard, he's still your father-in-law? ”
"Yes, you say my father-in-law in front of me, a son-in-law." Tang Fei also felt that it was not the right way at the beginning, but he didn't think about it so much, because he also needed to gain a foothold at that time, and speaking of which, the big boss had only met a few times. Later, the big bosses all went to travel all over the world.
I don't know if it's true or not.
"You know my father-in-law well?"
"It doesn't count."
"Tell me about it."
"The time is not up."
"No more talking."
That night, Tang Fei and Liu Tong drank wine and ate some side dishes, while Ding Dang helped the people in the village check their bodies, prescribe medicines, and so on.
When he came back, it was almost dusk, and Tang Fei didn't speak all the way, not knowing if he was really asleep or pretending to sleep.
Liu Tong learned that he was going to Beijing, and told Tang Fei a lot about the interests of the capital, and Kyoto, as the foothold of the Son of Heaven, was far more complicated than Jinling. As for the big boss, Tang Fei also thought about it a lot, but he couldn't understand it, so he simply didn't think about it.
When I returned to Yangliuzhai, I bumped into Zheng He, Zheng Gonggong, Zheng He has been living in Yuelai Inn recently, but he was addicted to hot springs, and he ran over in the first two days.
But today I came to urge Tang Fei to go on the road, and Zhu Tong also wanted to go on the road together, I heard that the county lord of Jiangdu was also on the road together, and as for Geng Mao, the Marquis of Changxing, he returned to the northern battlefield.
And Li Jinglong's injury, after Zheng He's condolences, is much better. Li Jinglong, this guy is a typical type of person who has a stomachache when he encounters something, and he is in good spirits when he has nothing to do, and the emperor probably knows what is going on, and he doesn't mind, this kind of person is better controlled, just don't make trouble.
For this trip to Beijing, Zhu Xiang seemed more excited, because she grew up in the capital and was considered her own home, while Tang Fei was more apprehensive, after all, there was a mysterious Zhu Yunwen sitting in Shuntian Mansion, and Tang Fei asked himself if he couldn't fight Zhu Yunwen now.
Zhu Yunwen can arrange an undercover agent who has been lurking for twenty years by King Ning's side, and he has never been in contact during this period, which is no longer something that ordinary people can do. It seems that there is really a big difference between this Zhu Yunwen and the historical ones.
When Tang Fei came to Zhu Tong's room, this guy was packing up his things, and it could be seen that he was also very excited, but as his boss, he seemed a little bold.
"The second master, are you looking for me?" Zhu Tong saw Tang Fei and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm going to Beijing to see your father soon, how are you- father?"
"It's handsome." Zhu Tong said with his waist straight.
"I mean people." Tang Fei said angrily.
"Uh-huh."
"What do you mean it's okay?" (To be continued......)
