Jiang Youli's peerless appearance is dazzling, although she became famous for her wonderful piano skills, but her fame also spread far and wide. When she entered the building with a veil, Miaoman's posture had already made everyone have a lot of reverie. Now that everyone saw her true face, they were still shocked all of a sudden, and they were silent for a while, and all kinds of tastes came to their hearts. Looking at Xu Ruyu beside her, she only felt that the person in the green shirt was bland, and all kinds of chilling eyes such as envy, jealousy, hostility, and hatred shot at him.

Xu Ruyu ignored these complicated gazes, attached his lips to Youli's ear, and said softly: "Marrying you can offend all the men in the world." ”

Youli quickly glanced at him, and then lowered his head delicately, his cheeks were full of redness. After a pause, he said to Liu Tingshan under the hall: "Please gather in Mr. Liu's private room." Then he took Ru Yu's hand and went straight into the private room.

Liu Tingshan was about to go to recognize Xu Ruyu, how could he push back, he bowed his hand and thanked everyone in the hall for a week, and said apologetically: "Everyone Jiang is called, you should understand Liu Mazi's mood." Someone said rudely: "Your face is full of pockmarks." laughed at the class, and they were very envious of him, how could they blame him for quitting halfway. Liu Mazi made another gesture before striding upstairs.

Liu Tingshan walked into the elegant room in half a step, and the beautiful voice of the magnetic surname sounded: "Liu Mazi has seen the Jiang family, Cai Ye, and uncle and grandson. Cover the door casually, and then greet Xu Tingyi: "Xu Er's family is not guilty, Liu Mazi will greet everyone Jiang first." ”

Xu Tingyi said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Liu Mazi is a personal essence, your bookstore is about to open, and you dare to stay here, so you are not afraid that Ji Da Fat will deduct your salary?" Xu Boying explained to Xu Ruyu and others: Ji Da Fat Man is the owner of Yuanju Tower.

Liu Mazi laughed and said: "Everyone in Jiang is performing here, Yuan Julou is only afraid that it will be ten points more popular than in the past, Ji Da Fat doesn't thank me for my kindness, how dare I come up and nag?" Youli said: "Mr. Liu, let's call me Youli." Liu Mazi's calligraphy is rumored all over the world, and what he said is the legend of Junjie, and Youli Fuqin is just a small skill of carving insects, how dare you call everyone? Xu Tingyi said: "Liu Mazi's comment is really everyone, Tingyi is a rough person, four years ago, I listened to the young girl play a song in the Fenjun County Palace, and now I still remember it vividly." ”

Xu Ruyu has a very shallow impression of what happened four years ago, and now that he thinks about it, he can't remember seeing Xu Tingyi. At that time, he was seriously injured and had just recovered, and he was indifferent to the outside world, so he naturally did not pay attention to the ordinary guests in the Fenjun County Mansion at that time. I thought to myself: He probably didn't notice that I was the little guy standing beside Youli at that time.

Xu Ruyu was distracted and recalling the past, when he suddenly heard a sharp voice coming: "The bad words of Xu Ma Bandit and Liu Mazi have reached my ears, and I am not afraid that I will add a few more handfuls of salt to the dish?" ”

Xu Boying opened the door, and a short and fat man stood at the door, full of crowds of the entire door frame, carrying a jar of wine to Jiang Youli and Xu Ru and smiling: "I am the big fat man Ji in their mouths, just call me Ji big fat man by Jiang family and Cai Ye." After that, he shook the wine jar in his hand, looked at Liuting Mountain, and said: "This altar is the best 'Pingcheng Autumn Dew', Liu Mazi asked me to bring it up to Xie Jiang Everyone agreed to perform in Yuanju Building." ”

Xu Tingyi was shocked when he heard this, looked at Liu Tingshan in disbelief, his eyes quickly swept over Xu Ruyu and Jiang Youli, hurriedly left his seat and pulled Ji Da Fat in, covered the door of the elegant room, and said to Liu Tingshan in a deep voice: "This is not a joke. ”

Pingyi produces fine wine, its name is "Pingcheng Autumn Dew", the surname is Lie, ranking first in the world. Xu Ruyu only drank this kind of wine in Yongchang, which has spread all over the world. Liuting Mountain asked Ji Da Fat Man to offer this wine alone, and the deep meaning can be imagined. Liu Tingshan pouted and smiled, turned to face Xu Ruyu and said solemnly: "Visitors from the East China Sea, Xinghua old people." ”

When Xu Ruyu met Shao Haitang in Yizhou, Shao Haitang said this sentence. Xu Ru was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that his horse gang, Yuanju Lou and Liuting Mountain were all related to the Xiangfan Society, so he could know the conversation when he met Shao Haitang, and he hurriedly got up and revealed his identity, and said: "I am Xu Ruyu, Mr. Shao can be in Funiu Mountain?" ”

Xu Tingyi was also overjoyed, and said to Ji Da Fatty: "Jingtang, go to the backyard to rearrange the banquet, and we will go over immediately." ”

Youli said to Xu Ruyu: "Uncle and Aunt Sun are here to accompany me to play the piano, you can go to the backyard to discuss." Xu Ruyu was right to think about it, seeing that Liu Tingshan was also a confidential person, he thought: His status in the Xiangfan Association is not low. Opened his mouth and asked him, "Is your bookstore tight?" ”

Liu Tingshan said with a smile: "When they listen to Youli's piano, they will forget that there is still Liu Mazi." What's more, General Qingfeng is right in front of me, how dare I continue to talk about it here if I don't interrogate all the details clearly? ”

Xu Ruyu and his uncle Fang Wu followed Xu Tingyi and others downstairs through the secret passage of Yuanju Building, and came to a fine house in the backyard.

Xu Tingyi said: "There is a secret door in the northeast of the courtyard, and through the secret door is the backyard of the entrance of the caravan. ”

Xu Ruyu saw that he told him the secret of the Ma Gang, and knew that he wanted to win his trust, and thought: I came to Shangnan to find an opportunity to help the Xiangfan Society, so naturally I will not be detained with your Ma Gang, but what does the Ma Gang have to do with the Xiangfan Society, let the Ma Gang be willing to violate the family taboo to help the Xiangfan Society?

Xu Tingyi seemed to guess what Xu Ruyu was thinking, and said: "When the Xiang Gang and the Fan Gang formed the Xiangfan Association, my Henan Ma Gang also participated in it, but the Xiang Gang and the Fan Gang were in the light, and the Ma Gang was in the dark. At the time of the uprising, Shao Junshi did not support the proposal of the uprising, but the big boss insisted, and Shao Junshi had no choice but to ask that the horse gang, which was not strong, continue to hide in the shadows. It was this move that left a way out for the Xiangfan Society. After the defeat of Xiangzhou, 160,000 congregations of the Xiangfan Society were slaughtered by the Xun family, and the remaining more than 40,000 congregations were scattered in Qingzhou, Yongning, Jinyang and other counties. With the help of General Qingfeng, most of the congregations in Qingzhou and Yongning were successfully moved to Donghai County, waiting for the early spring of next year to move to Qingjiang Mansion in Yue County. The congregations that were originally scattered in Jinyang County are now gathered in Funiu Mountain, and there has been no way to cross Yongning County to the East China Sea. Tingshan is a good friend of Shao Junshi, although he is not a member of the Xiangfan Society, he has been running for the Xiangfan Society. ”

Xu Ruyu had long thought that he had gone to Donghai County a month ago, but he was afraid that it was not just to find out about his deeds, but he didn't think that he was so old-fashioned, so he was in awe, and said: "Mr. Liu contacted Donghai County for the Xiangfan Society, and the journey was tiring. ”

Liu Tingshan said with a smile: "Compared to General Qingfeng's exploits, what Tingshan has done is not worth mentioning. If General Qingfeng can tell me only about the matter between you and Miss Youli, let me go back and forth in the East China Sea again. ”

Xu Ruyu saw that he couldn't get out of his profession in three sentences, although he didn't want others to publicize himself, and he didn't want to reject him, he smiled apologetically, and turned to Xu Tingyi and asked, "Master Xu, how many people are gathered in the mountains now?" ”

"Twelve thousand. But there are less than a thousand people who can go into battle, and the rest are old and weak women and children who are powerless, and in the past few months, they have been hiding in the Funiu Mountain, and the food supply is insufficient, and they have become even weaker. ”

Xu Ruyu gasped and thought to himself: If the Ma Gang wants to hide the eyeliner set up by the family, it is naturally impossible to provide a large amount of support to the mountains, and the predicament in the mountains can be imagined how difficult it is. Xu Ruyu saw Xu Tingyi and the others looking at him eagerly, knowing that they were helpless now, and pinned their hopes on him. Xu Ruyu not only smiled bitterly, but thought to himself: Funiu Mountain and Donghai County are separated by Nanyang, Qinghe, and Yixing for nearly 1,400 miles. More than 10,000 people have to travel thousands of miles without a word, even if they fly with wings, and they must be deliberated. I couldn't bear to look at their disappointed expressions, so I changed the topic and said, "How can Mr. Liu see my identity at a glance?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Tingshan to answer, Xu Boying said on his behalf: "In order to be able to tell the characters alive when Mr. Liu is telling stories, he inquired about Ru Yu's living habits, appearance and temperament, and often talking in Donghai County. ”

Xu Ruyu laughed and said, "It's all Jue'er who is eye-catching, and I can't do it if I want to be invisible." Then call me foolish. Oh, Luo Qiu caused trouble in the horse market at noon, but it was purely his personal factors? ”

Xu Boying replied: "The Danjiang Cao Gang and our horse gang have always had some friction, Luo Qiu was worried about the Jue'er girl at noon, just taking the opportunity to provoke trouble, after the Jue'er girl came and went, I asked people to follow, as long as they don't go to their sphere of influence in the southeast, it should be fine." ”

Xu Ruyu thought for a while and said, "Brother Boying, take me into the mountain tonight, I want to see Mr. Shao." ”

Xu Tingyi said: "It's no problem, Bo Ying is going to send a batch of grain into the mountain tonight." Miss Jiang, did they move here? Ru Yu's identity can't be hidden for long in Shangnan. Back then, General Wu had assassinated Zhang Dong in Jiangjin, and Su Qian would be the power of Zhang Dong's bereaved clan, if they knew the relationship between Ru Yu and General Wu, I am afraid that there would be actions against Ru Yu. ”

Xu Ruyu naturally knew the truth that hidden arrows were difficult to prevent, so he didn't push back, and said, "Then trouble Mr. Xu to arrange it on your behalf." Seeing that he respectfully called his father-in-law Wu Chu as General Wu, he felt very comforted in his heart, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

Xu Tingyi hurriedly said that he didn't dare to do it, so he called someone in and asked him to go to the Songling Inn with his uncle and grandson Fangwu to arrange the matter of moving to Yuanju Tower.

At this time, the clear sound of Youqin came, Xu Ruyu was silent, although it had been a month since she met Youli, she had been unable to listen to her sound again. Youli played the ancient song "Yangchun White Snow", the sound of snow and bamboo, showing the artistic conception of all things knowing spring, and the wind sweeping, and being clean.

Xu Tingyi, Liu Tingshan, and Xu Boying were all silent, immersed in the soft and joyful misty piano sound.

When Uncle Fang Wu led the people to carry the luggage to the backyard of Yuanju Building, Jiang Youli, Jue'er and others also came to the backyard. Xu Duanguo Xian knew Xu Ruyu's identity, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't know what to say when he walked in front of Xu Ruyu at first glance.

Although Xu Duanguo and Xu Boying are cousins, their surnames are very different. Xu Boying is diligent and resourceful, young and old, and has helped his father Xu Tingyi to run the affairs of the horse gang for many years, and he is very relied on by the horse gang. Xu Duanguo's surname is restless, although he has a good cultivation, he still needs to think more about it if he wants to become a big tool.

Xu Ruyu followed Xu Tingyi and Xu Boying to meet the important leaders of the Mabang in Shangnan, and when he came back, he saw that Jue'er was decorated with the fly-winged hair ornament on his head that he had exchanged for jujube red horses with Xu Duanguo, and knew that Xu Duanguo had returned it, and when he saw the smug look on Jue'er's face, he smiled and said: "The best horse in the horse farm has made you white." ”

Ji Da Fat said on the side: "Miss Youli promised to perform in Yuanju Tower every night, which is not in vain. ”

Xu Ruyu remembered something, and said to Xu Tingyi: "Mr. Xu, who is in charge of the Chen clan in the East China Sea here?" ”

Xu Tingyi said: "When Donghai County was in a crisis last year, all the forces of the Chen clan in Shangnan Ming withdrew from Shangnan, and the hidden power level was not enough to participate in the secret of Donghai County, so we don't know who is in charge of Donghai County here. ”

The dominant family has established fast and safe communication channels in various places, and if it is not used to send the letter back to Yongyang with the help of the eyes of the Chen clan in the East China Sea, and let the Ma gang send the letter to Yongyang quickly, I don't know how much time it will take. Xu Ruyu thought to himself: I still have seen Shao Haitang and then discussed.

On the third watch, Xu Ruyu and Youli were eating tea and chatting in the room, and Jue'er knocked on the door and said that Xu Boying was all ready. Xu Ruyu opened the door and saw Xu Tingyi, Xu Boying, Xu Duanguo and others standing in the courtroom.

Xu Ruyu followed Xu Boying to lead a caravan of more than 40 carriages and more than 100 warriors to the north. Xu Ruyu pointed to the carriage and asked Xu Boying: "This cart is full of grain sent to the mountain?" ”

Xu Boying smiled: "Half of it is grain, and half of it is forbidden iron tools." We carry grain during the day and iron tools at night, so that they think that we are using grain to cover the iron transporters, but in fact we are using iron carriers to cover the grain transport. ”

"Then there is a lot of work to be done in southern Henan."

"Don't worry, you can hide people's eyes and ears, and make dots up and down, Bo Ying doesn't dare to have a trace of negligence."

Although it is the main road to southern Henan, it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and has been deeply rutted by the loaded carriage. From time to time, the mountain owl roared loudly, and the driving horse neighed again and again.

After two hours of walking, they gradually turned into the mountain road, when there was no starlight, and the first torch in front of the convoy was lit to lead the way.

Xu Ruyu's senses are not limited to external objects, as long as a trace of light, it is regarded as bright day. Seeing that Xu Boying looked slightly nervous, he asked, "Are you going to the joint location?" ”

Xu Boying couldn't see anything in the night, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "There is a col ahead, and you will arrive after the col." ”

Xu Boying quietly ordered, and more than 100 warriors immediately dispersed into the mountains, and the convoy continued to move forward. Xu Ruyu knew that more than 100 warriors were there to ensure that there were no suspicious people within a radius of several miles.

After crossing the mountain pass, Xu Boying ordered the grain on the cart to be placed on the side of the road, and then some stones were moved between the mountains to fill the carriage, so as not to show the obvious depth of the ruts.

Xu Boying said with a smile: "The Mabang General Hall of Henan Mansion is just building a rockery, and these stones are just in use. ”

Everything was arranged, the caravan continued to move forward, Xu Ruyu and Xu Boying led more than a dozen people to wait on the side of the road, waiting for the people in the mountains to come out to respond.

After a while, a strange scream was heard from the dense forest on the left. Xu Boying took out the whistle from his arms and let out an equally weird scream. In a few moments, a group of people emerged from the forest. The leader is Ji Ziheng, who has a slight gap with Xu Ruyu on the shore of Bashui.

Xu Ruyu thought that he would stay in Wanling to preside over the borrowing of the Tao, but he didn't expect to meet him here, and his expression couldn't help but hesitate. Ji Ziheng is thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a narrow jaw, no beard, his upper lip covered with thick short mustaches, and a pair of cold eyes shining slightly in the night, giving people the impression of being determined and almost stubborn.

More than seven months ago, on the shore of Bashui, Xu Ruyu asked him to talk to Shao Haitang, wanting Shao Haitang to let the old and weak women and children break away from the Xiangfan Association and live in peace. didn't want to be severely rejected by Ji Ziheng, which made Xu Ruyu feel very uncomfortable, and now seeing him walking towards him step by step, he had to pretend that he couldn't see objects at night, and left it for Xu Boying to introduce.

Ji Ziheng asked, "It's the leader of Boying." ”

Xu Boying lit a torch and said, "Uncle Ji, Boying has brought a distinguished guest to the mountain. ”

Ji Ziheng had already recognized Xu Ruyu by the firelight, and his face changed slightly, and it was fleeting. Xu Ruyu looked at it in his eyes and thought: He also has a mustard in his heart.

Ji Ziheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "It turned out to be General Qingfeng." ”

As soon as Ji Ziheng said this, there was a sigh behind him, and it turned out that the news in the mountains was not closed. If it weren't for Ji Ziheng's reprimand, everyone behind him would have hugged him.

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said, "Farewell to the water, Ruyu misses Mr. Ji very much. originally thought that Mr. Ji would stay in Wanling to preside over the borrowing of the road, and he didn't want to meet him in the mountains, which made Ru Yu overjoyed. ”

Ji Ziheng exchanged a few words with Xu Ruyu, and then led Xu Ruyu and Xu Boying to the depths of the mountain pass. It was followed by a long line of ration-bearers. More than 100 warriors who had originally come from Shangnan with Xu Ruyu gathered and returned to Shangnan. Xu Ruyu saw more than 200 warriors behind him carrying heavy loads through the forest and crossing the slope, but his voice was quiet, knowing that this was the most elite combat force that Xiangfan would leave in Funiu Mountain.

Ji Ziheng whispered: "How is Bo Ying going to Jinyang County to investigate? ”

Xu Boying sighed: "It is not a wise move to take Jinyang, the Donglin Society has been completely driven out of the Jinyang section of the river waterway by the Two Lakes Society, if there is no Donglin Society to help, so many people cross the river, don't think about it." At present, there is only one way to go to Tokai-gun. Oh, Shao Junshi Qinghe and his party, can you gain something? ”

Ji Ziheng sighed: "Li Yisun closed the door and disappeared, and the military advisor returned to the mountain, anxious in his heart, and his sideburns turned a little whiter. After saying that, he glanced at Xu Ruyu and said, "General Qingfeng can come, and the military advisor will definitely share a lot of worries." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Mr. Ji values it. ”

Ji Ziheng said solemnly: "What General Qingfeng said on the shore of Bashui, I have conveyed all the words to the military division. The leaders of the congregation also decided to let the old and weak congregations stranded in Tokai County decide to stay at their own discretion. A few days ago, news came from the East China Sea that General Zhang Zhongdao had donated all the 100,000 yuan that General Qingfeng had left in the East China Sea to help the Xiangfan congregation who were willing to stay in Donghai County to purchase land. Ziheng asked General Qingfeng for forgiveness at the place where he had collided before. ”

Xu Ruyu smiled: "Mr. Ji is also good at thinking about Xiangfan, how can you not understand?" ”

Xu Boying was surprised: "Ru Yu was so rich, and he still relied on our jujube red horse? ”

Ji Ziheng didn't know why, Xu Boying told Xu Ruyu about buying horses. Only then did Ji Ziheng understand that when Xu Ruyu left the East China Sea, he was still penniless, bowed down deeply, and said: "General Qingfeng's high wind and bright festival are better than the six jun back then, which makes Ziheng's heart broken." ”

Ji Ziheng is half a generation higher than Xu Ruyu, Xu Ruyu saw him give this big gift to himself, hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said: "You don't dare to be, Mr. Ji don't fold your life." ”

Ji Ziheng said: "It is really difficult to endure in the mountains, and it is not enough for 10,000 people in the mountains to rely on Boying to secretly transport food. There are only two cents of grain in each porridge, and the rest are wild vegetables and grass stalks. If the more than 10,000 congregations could not be moved to Donghai County before the onset of winter, I don't know how many people would starve to death in the mountains. ”

Xu Ruyu frowned tightly and remained silent for a long time.
