28. Go north to the capital
Zhili Baoding Mansion, known as the three passes of the north control, nine provinces in the south, has always been the thoroughfare of the north; From the eighth year of Kangxi, after the governor of Zhili moved to Baoding, it was also known as the important place of Gyeonggi, and its status was extremely important.
There is a Wenchang Pavilion in Baoding City, because there are four holes under it for people to walk through, as the saying goes, it is also called the heart building; And the road is often said to be inserted into a hole with a knife, three knives and six holes, which comes from this heart-piercing building, which means "opening your heart to others".
In view of the fame of this heart-piercing building, as long as the high-rollers of the rivers and lakes come to Baoding City, they all come to pay their respects, and more are to worship downstairs as an alliance, implying that they will take care of each other and please a good fortune.
Even with a few restaurants on the side, the business is also very hot, you must know that the people on the rivers and lakes are all spending a lot of money, and they are bold and righteous, how can they care about this little thing outside the body.
Yiqi Winery, just listen to the name, you can know what the store has in mind, it is nothing more than to let the heroes of the rivers and lakes pay more money. There is a private seat inside, and there are six people sitting around the table, all of them are extraordinary, and they know that they are people in the rivers and lakes at a glance.
An old man in his sixties was sitting on the upper seat, talking to a blue-robed young man next to him, who was sitting respectfully, listening carefully to the old man's instructions, and looking very kind; The two men of about 30 years old on the side are very similar in figure and appearance, and they are twin brothers; The other two are both strong and middle-aged, their temples bulging high, and they are extremely good at kung fu.
This old man is very famous in the rivers and lakes, he is the person who is in charge of Niu Er, and he is nicknamed "Eight Faces Majestic", and his name is also very imposing, called Feng Nandi, the head of the Huashan faction and the leader of the three provinces in the north of the "Hoe Annihilation League".
The young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and good-looking eyes is naturally Liu Meng. As a representative of the Hengshan faction, Liu Meng followed Feng Nandi's father and son all the way north, and after meeting the two Taishan faction lay brothers in Taizhou, he entered Zhili through Dezhou. In Baoding City, Feng Nandi dealt with a few things in the alliance, and planned to go west to Datong, Shanxi, where many good men from all walks of life gathered to discuss the important matter of hoeing and annihilation.
After coming to see the piercing heart building, he was about to set off, but he overheard someone discussing on the street what "Ao Shaobao was imprisoned by the emperor", and several people couldn't help but be shocked, so after a search, they figured out the reason.
It turned out that the Manchu Emperor Kangxi was already in power, and the first thing he did was to take down the auxiliary minister and the crown prince Taibao Aobai on the charge of "holding power and forming a party for personal gain", confiscating his family property, and exiled his relatives for 3,000 miles, implicating countless people for a while.
Hearing such an incident, although it was the hand of the Manchu Emperor, several people hated Ao and worshipped, and they were all happy, so they called a banquet to celebrate.
Liu Meng knew it in his heart and understood that as it was said in the book of Lu Ding Ji, this worship was designed by Xiao Xuanzi and Xiao Guizi. It seems that Wei Xiaobao has taken root in the palace like in the book, and he is friendly with Kangxi, which is the moment when the left and right meet.
But then, because of the forty-two chapters, Mao Dongzhu, who pretended to be the queen mother, almost died at his hands.
I have to start acting, rush to Wei Xiaobao's side as soon as possible, and do my best to help him get rid of Mao Dongzhu first and obtain four scriptures, otherwise after the people of the Shenlong Sect arrive, there will inevitably be more trouble.
Coming to this conclusion, besides, being so close to Yanjing City, Liu Meng wanted to go to Wei Xiaobao to do the thing of stealing the scriptures, how could he be willing to follow Feng Nandi around again.
When he was sitting worried about how to find an excuse to leave, Feng Nandi proposed that there was an old man in the capital, Ma Borenma, who was the head of the Tan Leg Sect in the north, and was extremely prestigious in the rivers and lakes of the north.
It was really sleepy that someone sent a pillow, and when Liu Meng heard this news, he immediately jumped out and took it, saying: I haven't been to the capital since I was so old, and I often hear people say that the weather in the land of the real dragon is extraordinary, so I just took the opportunity to send an invitation to see it.
Feng Nandi understands the curiosity of such a young man, and although the capital is the center of Manchu rule, it looks dangerous and abnormal on the outside, but the more dangerous the place, the safer the truth. What's more, Liu Meng is just a debutant, and no one knows him on the rivers and lakes at all, so it's just an invitation, so where is the risk.
When even if he handed over the matter of delivering the invitation to Liu Meng, and was afraid that he would not understand the etiquette of the rivers and lakes in the north, he told him some rules that needed to be paid attention to, and Feng Nandi insisted that he must meet in Datong, so he was relieved to let Liu [***] go to the capital by himself.
Bidding farewell to Feng Nandi and his party of four, Liu Meng led a yellow horse out of the north gate of Baoding with the people, and went north along the official road.
Autumn is crisp and the sky is blue and cloudy.
Liu Meng only felt very happy all the way, alone and alone, a horse and a sword, when he was tired, he would find a place to rest, and when he was hungry, he would find a clean restaurant to get two delicious meals, he would go if he wanted to, he would play if he wanted to, he was happy to sing with his neck, he was happy to be arrogant, no one was restrained, and he was unspeakably chic and calm, this is the feeling of the game Jianghu.
As for the cost of entanglement. Don't you allow us Liu Daxia to do chivalry again? As the saying goes, "robbing the rich and helping the poor" is the duty of people like us who practice martial arts......
So, when Liu Meng walked through Guang'anmen and entered Yanjing City five days later, he was already dressed as a rich son.
In the early autumn of Yanjing, there was already a chill, Liu Meng wore a royal blue silk flower tuan robe, tied with a black leather silver button, pedaled lambskin riding boots, and wore a gold-rimmed black cloth melon skin hat, and the hat was also inlaid with a piece of red coral, which looked full of luxury.
The fat and strong tall yellow horse with a good saddle, sitting in a handsome brother with rich and beautiful eyebrows, facing the soldiers who greeted and dismounted for interrogation, his face was full of impatience, and he reached out and threw out a piece of five taels of silver, so that the officer with the squad was overjoyed, and the sharp-eyed ones saw a piece of green and green jade wrench on his thumb.
Pretending to be blue like this, if nothing else, is to experience the chic of those brothers and belles in various Qing Dynasty TV dramas. We also came to the Manchu ruling era, and if we don't pretend to be the favorite master of the rotten girls, are we worthy of people?
Besides, with our handsome appearance, isn't it better than the Manchu nobles with small eyes, circles, thick legs, round lips and round noses? Isn't it more in line with the white horse brother in the minds of modern female surnames?
Therefore, nearly a thousand taels of silver were spent like flowing water in Gaobeidian, Liu Meng put on a full swing, and even the long sword brought down from Hengshan was replaced with a shark skin scabbard, tied around his waist with a white silk belt, and changed from a murderous weapon to an ornament in a flash, and swaggered and wore a horse into Yanjing City.
