Chapter 21: The Frontier of Longitudinal Horses (3)
Qinghe Town, after a war baptism, now there is a more historical precipitation, although the people who have migrated have returned to the town one after another, but, there are still few pedestrians on the streets of the entire Qinghe Town, every family is closed, everyone looks frightened, it seems that a war has brought not only the people to be displaced, but also the fear of war,
Fushou gambling house has long been reduced to rubble in the war, and at the same time, the imperial court also issued an arrest warrant, wanted Zhenshan Marquis Guo Ziyi and other rebellious, Guo Ziyi was seriously injured, he wanted to forcibly invade Yanjing City, and asked Chu Yuanmin to understand, but he was persuaded by his subordinates, so he could only temporarily hide in the shadows and wait and see what happened.
Chu Xiaofeng, Yu Wenlang and Xiao Xiao died to protect Guo Qingzheng, Yang Hu and others, which was a very big blow to Guo Qingzheng, and she suffered several laps in a month, which made Guo Ziyi heartbroken at the same time, but helpless, everyone had a young time, when she died, she didn't drink wine alone for three days and three nights, and she was depressed for nearly five years.
Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu never believed that Chu Xiaofeng was dead, they sneaked into Yanjing City afterwards, and there were no clues to find them, although there were no names on the arrest warrant, but this does not mean that they were dead, the two also went to the hill that day, except for a large area of scorched places, and found nothing else,
After Yang Hu returned to Qinghe Town, he informed Guo Ziyi of the change in things on the one hand, and led his henchmen to evacuate, they all hid their strength in the shadows, and only a few were still on the bright side, after all, Yang Hu, Guo Ziyi and others were not idle people, they had already made all the preparations, and they were advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
Coupled with Li Chunfeng's instructions before leaving, everyone left Qinghe Town in time and entered the deep mountains, while Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu were disguised to continue to find the whereabouts of Chu Xiaofeng and others, and keep an eye on the movements outside.
Fulai Inn, this is a newly opened restaurant in Qinghe Town after the Yongle Sect rebellion, the owner of this restaurant is a distant cousin of Liu Moren, the governor of Jeju, Liu Moren was originally just a small county order, just because he sent Pang Wen an extremely rare medicinal herb, and was promoted to become rich,
Some time ago, the Pang family was expelled by the imperial court, and many related officials were dismissed, Liu Moren was also worried and uneasy at that time, who knows, the world is unpredictable, and now the entire imperial court, the Pang family is the only one, he is also rising, and he has offered a few cherished herbs, and was directly promoted to the governor of Jeju, who is responsible for collecting and purchasing elixirs,
This cousin of his, is the elder brother of one of his aunts, named Wei Bei, because he has a tumor on his neck, and his appearance is also extremely obscene, and he likes beauty, so everyone calls him "obscene" behind his back, the reason why he likes this place, first, is that it is closer to Kyoto, and secondly, he is also good to mix up from a poor and remote place, in order to find a good family business in the future,
Although the Fulai Inn has been open for a while, but due to the war some time ago, there are few customers at this time, and the shadow is sparse, among the sparse guests, there is a table near the window, there are two people drinking, and there is a chat with or without a match, these two people are Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu who have just returned from Yanjing City,
"Well, today's business is okay."
Yang Hu picked up a bowl of wine, lowered his voice and asked, which means that he is asking, have you found anything today, Tang Fengliu sighed, a trace of tiredness appeared between his eyebrows, and said softly: "Business is still the same as before, it is a loss-making business." ”
He was also hinting at Yang Hu, and there was nothing new to discover, Yang Hu's eyes darkened, although he could guess the outcome of the matter, but when he really heard it, he was still very frustrated,
"The younger brother has a big deal here, I don't know if the two eldest brothers will appreciate it."
Just when the two of them got up and were about to leave, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the inn, and they saw a young man in black slowly walking into the inn, coming straight to the two of them, and sat down, Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu's pupils immediately shrank, and then they were ecstatic in their hearts, and several of them had been running around for more than a month, just to find the third prince Chu Xiaofeng, but now, he miraculously appeared in front of the two,
"It also depends on what you are dealing with."
Tang Fengliu was about to speak excitedly, but Yang Hu's eyes were quick, he grabbed his sleeve, and forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, but his expression was very calm and said,
"I have a jewelry business at home, and I don't know if you have the ability to do it."
Chu Xiaofeng cast an approving look at Yang Hu, smiled, and said softly,
"I'll tell you the truth, brother, that's what I do, my eldest brother and I are both Jiangnan merchants, I am responsible for jewelry and jade, and my eldest brother is responsible for gold and silver jewelry."
Tang Fengliu smiled awkwardly, and then immediately said,
"That's very good, it seems that I have found the right person, so you can come with me."
Chu Xiaofeng laughed, he was extremely happy, he put down ten taels of silver, got up and walked out, Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu also gave an order to the shopkeeper, and hurriedly followed Chu Xiaofeng out,
In the inner room of the inn, behind a small hole in the partition wall, Wei Rong was smacking his mouth, he looked at the direction where the three of them left, and seemed to see countless gold and silver treasures in front of him.
"It seems that the eldest cousin asked me to open a secret grid at that time and pay attention to the words and deeds of pedestrians, which was really prescient, so that I could kill people and sell goods at any time and make a fortune in a muffled voice."
Wei Ling smiled, and thought in his heart that in fact, the purpose of Liu Moren asking him to open this secret grid at that time was to pay attention to some special things, so as to be able to respond at any time, but this Wei Rong was full of money, and he didn't think about Liu Moren's intentions at all, he hurriedly picked up a dozen strong men from the backyard, and together with himself, quietly followed behind Chu Xiaofeng and the three of them.
In his opinion, more than a dozen of them dealt with the three of them, it was not a problem at all, the three of them walked forward slowly, and soon walked into a forest, in fact, they had already found out that someone was following them, but the three of them were inconvenient to do it immediately, after all, Qinghe Town was too close to Yanjing City, and it was not possible to have the dark line of the Golden Spider Guard here,
Walking into the woods, Chu Xiaofeng, Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu glanced at each other, the two nodded, their footsteps accelerated at the same time, and they disappeared into the forest in the distance in an instant, Yang Hu was a little surprised in his heart, it was not strange that he and Tang Fengliu could find someone behind him, after all, both of them had been practicing martial arts since childhood, but why could Chu Xiaofeng also find someone behind him,
In Yang Hu's eyes, Chu Xiaofeng almost does not use martial arts except for brute strength, but as everyone knows, today's Chu Xiaofeng has long been different from what it used to be, and has been reborn.
Seeing that the three of them disappeared without a trace, Wei Ling also hurriedly walked forward with a group of thugs, hoping to catch up with them, and directly arrest people, as long as they forced out the money on their bodies, they would be buried alive on the spot immediately.
