Chapter 3 Unexpected Encounters

Yuan Xun recognized that the man in the green shirt was Xu Ruyu, and also guessed that the man in the white shirt should be Fan Wenlong, the commander of the Qingfeng Guard. However, he was very surprised that Wu Qingyi could recognize Xu Ruyu at a glance, and the officials of the Honglu Division were on the side, and it was very rude to use Danxi to control his voice, and Yuan Xun could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and not ask.

The twilight is getting deeper, Wu Qingyi has not practiced the Dan Breath Technique, and he can't see the distance clearly, but when the eyes of the Qingyi man fell on his face, he really saw his handsome face, and the deep twilight between the two of them instantly melted in the light of the person's eyes. The moment their eyes met, Wu Qingyi knew that he was Xu Ruyu, his eyes fell on the carriage on the side of the road, and he said secretly: Who is sitting in the car?

Fan Wenlong also saw Yuan Xun and the others, his eyes turned to this side, looked sideways at the carriage that was dumped on the side of the road, showed a wry smile on his face, and said secretly: Let Mrs. Jue'er get off the carriage at this time, Mrs. Jue'er is afraid that she will not be able to drop her face.

The Baiyi army was transformed into a garrison army, among which the most elite two thousand soldiers were selected into the Qingfeng Guard, and two thousand Jianyong were selected from the military tuns from all over the country, forming a total of four thousand Qingfeng Wei elites, Xu Ruyu returned to Jiangning City not long after, Fan Wenlong also returned to Jiangning to begin training Qingfeng Wei, and Peng Muqiu returned from Jinmen after serving as the deputy commander of the Qingfeng General. Xu Ruyu said that he often traveled, and most of them were accompanied by Fan Wenlong and Peng Muqiu.

Build a city, often build another high platform in the city, and garrison elite soldiers, so as to control the overall situation in the city. Jiming Mountain is a natural high platform in Xinxi City, but Xu Ruyu did not build a military camp on Jiming Mountain, but gave Jiming Mountain to Jiang Lingtian's sister Jiang Yunuo to build a stacked smoke building. The Splashing Cloud Pavilion where Dieyanlou and Jue'er live are the two tallest buildings in Jiangning City, but standing in the Splashing Cloud Pavilion, the line of sight is blocked by a low hill, and you can't see the night scene on both sides of Neilongzangpu, let alone the lights on the side of Xinxi City. Jue'er likes to watch the lights in the city at night, and often begs Xu Ruyu to come to the Stacked Smoke Building together.

When it was late, Xu Ruyu heard the attendant say that Jue'er went to the Stacked Smoke Building, so he came out with Fan Wenlong in private clothes, and had a drink in the Stacked Smoke Building, thinking that the full case of documents would be left for tomorrow, so it was inevitable that Shao Haitang and the others would be counted down, so he and Jue'er and Fan Wenlong rushed back to the house, Jue'er took the car first, Xu Ruyu and Fan Wenlong were a little behind, and they didn't expect the young people on the street to fight, and the wheel was broken, and the horse escaped and left, and the carriage also fell on the side of the road.

Xu Ruyu's eyes swept over the six teenagers, and reprimanded: "Jing Luo went to find the startled horse, and the other five people came to pull the car and fight on the street, could it be that the school field of Yanwutang is too small?" ”

The five teenagers saw Xu Ruyu asking them to pull the cart on the street, stunned there, the five teenagers led by Mei Tierui's youngest son Mei Xiqing, today said that they surrounded Cai Jingluo on the street, with five around one, only a slight advantage, it was already a very humiliating thing, and then they were punished to pull the carriage, and they all thought in their hearts: This is going to be passed on to the Yanwutang, where is the face? But he didn't have the courage to open his mouth to beg for mercy, and squinted his eyes at Fan Wenlong, hoping that he could speak.

Fan Wenlong coughed lightly and scolded in a low voice: "Why don't you hurry up and save the car for your wife?" ”

Mei Xiqing couldn't help but snort, at this time, Mrs. Youli would not go out of the house at night, and it could only be Mrs. Jue'er in the car, and it was a great blessing that Mrs. Jue'er was able to save the car and be exempted from responsibility, where would she dare to think about losing face again? At this time, several Qingfengwei came over, gave Xu Ruyu and Fan Wenlong a salute, and then carried the coachman who fell and was injured to leave, Cai Jingluo did not dare to mention the matter of the fight, and chased in the direction of the startled horse, Mei Xiqing and others grabbed the broken wheel everywhere and dragged the car to Dongcheng.

Yuan Xun saw Xu Ruyu and the others leaving, and said to Wu Qingyi: "It's Jiang Jue'er in the car." Looking at the officials of the Honglu Division, his face showed disdain, and he said with a smile, "The world only knows wives and concubines, but Jiangning has two wives, and Yuan Xun has been taught." ”

Youli and Jue'er originally had the distinction of master and servant, but after marrying Xu Ruyu together and respecting the position of wife, it can be regarded as a shocking move in today's world.

Wu Qingyi's face was slightly lonely, and he whispered pity: "Only a daughter can know Xu Ruyu's heart." ”

Yuan Xun was slightly stunned, he didn't know what Wu Qingyi meant, he looked at Wu Qingyi a few times, but finally didn't ask.

The accompanying officer didn't expect Wu Qingyi to speak for Xu Ruyu, glanced at her bright eyes exposed outside the green veil, and said secretly: What kind of bone-eroding beautiful face is hidden under the green veil? Yuan Xun thought that Xu Ruyu, Fan Wenlong and others should have just come down from the Stacked Smoke Building, and they wanted to go up to the Stacked Smoke Building to have a look.

At this time, three people turned from the west cliff of Jiming Mountain, Wu Qingyi saw the face of the young scholar on the right side clearly by picking out the road lamp from the west cliff wall, "Ah" and exclaimed, and the people around looked at this side.

The young scholar saw Wu Qingyi with a green veil on his face, and was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the delicate face under the green veil, turned around and left, and the man in the middle grabbed him and said, "Brother Wu, didn't you say that you should go to the Stacking Tobacco Building to drink, why did you turn around and go back?" However, the person on the left was dressed in brown linen, staring at Wu Qingyi's eyebrows exposed outside the green veil in a daze, unaware of the movements of the two people around him, and muttered to himself: "I just thought that Ruyan was already the best in the world, and I didn't expect that there would be a face similar to it in the world." As he spoke, he strode towards Yuan Xun and Wu Qingyi, bowed and bowed, and said: "Boy Qin Zhongshu, I have seen the girl, I want to come to Jiangning for the first time, if you don't give up, please let the boy guide the way for the girl." ”

Wu Chengzheng asked Feng Ge'er to hold him and not leave, but he didn't expect Qin Zhongshu to step forward, and he had nothing to do, so he had to step forward with Feng Ge'er, salute for a long time, and said, "Wu Cheng has seen Miss Tsing Yi." His eyes were staring at Yuan Xun on the side, thinking about the identity of this person.

Wu Qingyi and Lu Zhi said, the Wu clan built Tsing Yi City on the bank of Lingshui, which was the daughter city of Wu Tsing Yi, and Wu Cheng served as the city guard of Tsing Yi with the birth of the son of Xiaozong. Wu Cheng thought that Tsing Yi City was located in the hinterland of Chengdu and Chongqing, and he could really worship the generals and lead the troops when Wu Tsing Yi came out of the pavilion, and he did not expect that Yuan Gongchen would lead a thousand tigers to attack Tsing Yi City at the beginning of May. Although Wu Cheng was able to get out, but Tsing Yi City fell, Wu Tsing Yi fell into the hands of the enemy, Cheng Yu had no place for himself, and returned to Yuzhou could only end up with a decisive end, so he sneaked out of Chengyu County, mixed with the homeless people, and fell into Jiangning, trying to make a living.

Qin Zhongshu was talking about war in Xuancheng, and Wu Cheng was also in Xuancheng at the right time, so he went to Xuancheng Dexiang Tower every day to listen to Qin Zhongshu talk about war, and Qin Zhongshu had a little nodding friendship. After Qin Zhongshu met with Cao San and Feng Ge'er, he was led to Liyang by Cao San first, and then went back to Jiangning from Liyang. Although Qin Zhongshu was keen on his career, Xu Ruyu finally refused to see him, and others didn't dare to use him anymore, so he and Feng Ge'er fought together in Jiangning City.

Wu Cheng admired Qin Zhongshu's ability very much, and he also knew that it was very difficult for a person like himself with an unknown identity and origin to seek a career in Jiangning, and he wanted to follow Qin Zhongshu or many possibilities, so he also went to Jiangning.

Wu Cheng has a generous hand, can also eat and drink, and has more insight than ordinary people, Qin Zhongshu has drunk with him a few times, he is already a brother, and he also introduced him to Brother Feng, Wu Cheng didn't expect that Feng Ge'er, who was inconspicuous at first glance, could be regarded as the number one person in Jiangning City, and the most important thing was that he could contact a character like Kou Zichan through him, and Wu Cheng was even more enthusiastic.

This day, the three of them also came to the Stacked Tobacco Building to drink, and met Yuan Xun, Wu Qingyi and others on the slope of Jiming Mountain, and suddenly, Wu Cheng was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to escape, so that Feng Ge'er grabbed it, and couldn't break free, and thought in his heart: It's okay to meet in Jiangning at this time, but I don't know why Miss Tsing Yi appeared in Jiangning City. Wu Cheng always thought that Wu Qingyi would be admitted to the house by a powerful general in Nanping.

Qin Zhongshu heard Wu Cheng call the beauty in front of him "Miss Tsing Yi", and suddenly opened his mouth slightly, and said, "Southwest Yaxiu Wu Tsing Yi? I didn't think about why Wu Qingyi appeared in Jiangning at this time, I just looked at Wu Qingyi's eyebrows like a bright moon.

The official of the Honglu Division waved to Feng Ge'er and said, "General Feng, Chen Minghang, the deacon of the Honglu Division, accompanied General Yuan Xun, the deputy envoy of Nanping, and Miss Tsing Yi on a night tour of Jiangning City. ”

Kou Zichan came out of the leading hall, he was a clerk, Feng Ge'er served as his chief of guard, only the position of a sentry lieutenant, and he could only be regarded as a shadowless official in Jiangning, and he could not describe his rank, although Chen Minghang was only a deacon of the Honglu Division, his status was much higher than that of Feng Ge'er, and he saluted Feng Ge'er, naturally for the sake of Kou Zichan's face.

Feng Ge'er is a person of interest, and he is busy returning the salute, and he also knows that he has found out the identities of the two of them, so that the three of them are far away from the deputy envoy of Nanping and Wu Qingyi. The truth in this, Qin Zhongshu can think through as long as there is a single hair on his body, but when he first met Wu Qingyi, he didn't see it if he didn't see it, but he didn't know, Feng Ge'er gave him a look, and he just didn't see it, and kept saying to Wu Qingyi: "...... Jiangning can be regarded as the place of Zhongxiu in the southeast, and the kid lives in Jiangning and has some words, please let the kid explain a thing or two to Miss Tsing Yi......"

Wu Qingyi's brows were slightly furrowed, hiding a little unhappiness, Yuan Xun saw that although the person in front of him was confused by Wu Qingyi's beauty, but his conversation was extraordinary, and he also pretended not to see the unhappiness in the eyes of the accompanying officials and Wu Qingyi, and invited Qin Zhongshu and the three of them to go to the Stacked Smoke Building together.

The government offices of the various government departments in Jiangning are located on both sides of Zhufeng Street in front of Qingfeng Mansion, and Qingfeng Mansion is separated by Rujiang Avenue, Si Wencao's government office is next to Rujiang Avenue, and the back door of the government office is across the street from the side door of Qingfeng Mansion, Tu Wenyong, Zhao Jingyun, Cao San and others can enter Qingfeng Mansion directly from the side door to Xu Ruyu without reporting.

Tu Wenyong walked out of the side gate of the front office of Qingfeng Mansion, crossed Qingshi Street, and entered the Si Wen Cao Office through the back door, followed by two Si Wen Cao's subordinate officials. Cao San stood on top of the atrium, and saw Tu Wenyong walking through the corridor to this side, and hurriedly greeted him.

Tu Wenyong said: "Zisan, what do you have to ask me to come over at this time?" The adults were also quite surprised, and asked me to come over and ask what was going on, and then I went back to reply. ”

Cao San said: "It was because I didn't want the adults to know that I didn't tell them the truth." He pointed to the subordinate officials sent to find Tu Wenyong.

Tu Wenyong looked at Cao San in surprise, I don't know what idea he has in his heart, he is asking Xu Ruyu to go to the inner mansion to assist in acting government affairs, Cao San asked people to invite him back, which is naturally a very urgent and very important matter, but such a very urgent and important thing has to be hidden from Xu Ruyu?

Cao San said: "Qin Zhongshu is drinking with Yuan Xun in the Stacked Tobacco Building, in addition to Wu Qingyi, Feng Ge'er, Wu Cheng and Chen Minghang, the deacon of the Hong Gong Division, Wu Cheng seems to have known Wu Qingyi for a long time. ”

"Ahh Tu Wen looked at each other abruptly, it was indeed very tricky, if Xu Ruyu knew, he would probably pout and smile, and not allow Jing'an to deal with it. Probably the princes of Jiangning didn't want to see Yuan Xun take Qin Zhongshu out of Jiangning.

"Rong Yanmen sent Yuan Xun to Jiangning to test the truth, we ignored it, and I didn't expect him to do anything, but we couldn't think of Qin Zhongshu's variable."

Tu Wenyong saw Cao San staring at him, he was slightly stunned, and said: "This matter has to be dealt with by the adult, and I don't dare to make an idea, so go and invite Lord Shao and Master Kou." I'll go to the back and postpone it first, so that the adults don't have any suspicions and ask about it personally. ”

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Fan Wenlong walking in under the guidance of the guard, Tu Wenyong was slightly stunned and asked, "Wenlong, what do you have to say?" ”

Fan Wenlong said: "Before Wen Yong arrived at Lixiang Courtyard, I was coming out of the Stacked Smoke Pavilion with my lord and Mrs. Jue'er, and met Yuan Xun, Wu Qingyi and others at the foot of Jiming Mountain. ”

Tu Wenyong asked in a low voice, "Did the adults guess?" ”

"Zisanshen mysteriously sent someone to ask Wen Yong to return to the government office to discuss matters, but he didn't let us know what was going on, the adults just met Yuan Xun not long ago, and it was difficult to guess it. The lord said that if Qin Zhongshu really wanted to go out of Jiangning with Yuan Xun, Jing'an Division's manpower was slightly insufficient. ”

Cao San said: "Send someone to detain Qin Zhongshu first, even if Yuan Xun sees the value of Qin Zhongshu, there should be nothing to be done." ”

Fan Wenlong said: "My lord, let me ask Zisan: Before Qin Zhongshu betrayed Jiangning, Jing'an Sike had a reason to detain him?" ”

Tu Wenyong was slightly stunned, Xu Ruyu had already guessed about this matter, and he couldn't hide it from him to deal with it privately, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Fan Wenlong said: "My lord said, what should happen between Rongyanmen and the old Linxiang Dynasty, it is particularly important to sort out the context here. "With the support of Tianji Xueqiu, Rong Yanmen has always been a monopoly in Nanping, more than three-quarters of Nanping's soldiers and horses belong to Rong Yanmen, Yuan Xun was sent by Rong Yanmen to test Jiangning's reality, and there should be no more Yuan Gongchen. When Zhao Jingyun saw Yuan Gongchen and Yuan Xun in Wuzhou, he was like a treasure, and knew that Nanping was not as seamless as it seemed on the surface. Fan Wenlong said again: "My lord said that Wu Qingyi appeared in Jiangning, but it is a very interesting thing, when my lord said this, he was looking at the Danqing sent by General Li Gonglin, and I can't guess what my lord means when he says this." ”

Cao San said: "The one who summons Wu Cheng may know something. ”
