Chapter 548: Mountain Spring
When Yang Yuying arrived at the annex of the Liuguo Mansion, Xia Zhiming and Lin Guan were drinking under the moon.
"Should we change places?"
Lin Guan chuckled.
Xia Zhiming also said: "This is the dark spot of the Imperial City Division...... What's the point of covering your ears and stealing the bell? ”
What they have to do, once discovered, it only depends on Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty wants to protect their lives, then they are preparing in the palace, and it will be fine.
If Your Majesty is furious and really wants to punish the Nine Clans, where are they different? Could it be that they deliberately didn't stay in Liu Guogong's other courtyard, and Liu Guogong would be able to completely wash away the relationship?
Lin Guan sighed and muttered: "Unfilial son, unfilial son!" It's horrible! If I have a child in the future, it will be really fatal to meet such an unfilial son. ”
In other words, when he usually talks like this, Xia Zhiming scolded him in the morning, but today he suddenly smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were soft.
Yang Yuying was silent.
For a long time, the three of them did not shy away from the people who were sprinkling around, and gathered directly in the pavilion to piece together the mechanism maps they obtained.
After fighting, Lin Guan coughed and blinked: "I think, or we still ...... Washed and slept? ”
Xia Zhiming glared at him, and Lin Guan suddenly stopped.
Yang Yuying smiled: "You go to sleep, let's take a look." ”
She stretched out her hand to greet her, and several maids came over, serving Lin Guan to rest very considerately, obviously in the eyes of these maids, Xia Zhiming was not as likable as Lin Dagongzi.
Xia Zhiming didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
The map is eighty percent spelled, but the remaining two percent is not a trivial matter, and how many hidden mechanisms are there, who knows? It was the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong, which he repaired when his old man was alive, and the skilled craftsmen used were more than ten times more than those raised in the palace now, and some of them have become legendary masters.
Yang Yuying does not dare to guarantee that a Yongji Mausoleum will be safe and secure through the ages, but at least it is many times safer than other dynasties and various emperors' mausoleums.
His Majesty Taizong has countless strange and capable people around him, and I heard that those who were buried with Yongji Mausoleum were not only filial piety and gentleness Qitian Shengrong Empress Lin, but also the most trusted Wenchen military generals around him.
When Yang Yuying was reading history in the Imperial City Division, she thought that if the emperors of the underworld went to war, their Emperor Taizong would definitely be strong and strong, not inferior to the ancient saint Mingjun.
Maybe one day you can fight with the First Emperor and be evenly matched?
Yang Yuying thought that she should still be modest, the marshal always said that this person is too proud in the world, and it is not good for proud people to suffer.
Xia Zhiming drank a cup of tea with his head bored, and did not blink at the map, and looked at it carefully for more than an hour, then picked up a teacup and pressed it to the left of the center of the map.
Yang Yuying almost fell asleep, was woken up by a bang, and opened her eyes: "If we really want to rob the tomb, we need real professionals." ”
Xia Zhiming nodded, took out a box from under the table, and took out a stack of archival materials from the box.
Yang Yuying opened it and only glanced at it, then reached out to cover her forehead and sighed: "Brother Xia, are you ready to betray the Imperial City Division?" Where are you going to flee? Why don't I accompany you to the South Seas? The two of us are going to expand the territory for the Great Shun Dynasty? Before you go, why don't you prepare some supplies, manpower or something? ”
"Otherwise, contact the Mountain and River Festival in advance, the Mountain and River Festival is not as rigid as the Imperial City Division, maybe I don't care about your instigation, or the audacity of threatening the mausoleum keeper to rob the tomb for you?"
Xia Zhiming's forehead jumped for a long time: "...... I'll let you take a look at the information of our opponents first! ”
Yang Yuying stuck out her tongue, sat up straight, began to flip through it, and smiled seriously: "I know...... Wait for me for a while, and I'll memorize it. "It's best not to linger on evidence like this for too long in real life.
After turning two pages, she raised her eyebrows again: "Actually, my method is slightly more likely to succeed." ”
Xia Zhiming: "......"
He was speechless at first, then silently curled his fingers thoughtfully.
Yuying is actually right, if you can find a way to get those tomb guards to go to the tomb with them, you don't even need them to really know what they and the others are going to do, plus these mechanism maps, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, if this operation is not done well, it may also be self-inflicted.
Those mausoleum guards can be regarded as half of the masters in the tomb, at least their own people, they want to invade the cemetery this time, but they are equivalent to tomb robbers!
Yang Yuying's eyes flowed, staring at the information on the stone table and browsing from the beginning.
The Dashun Dynasty is still there, and the dynasty is even in its heyday, but the mausoleum guards arranged by Taizong's old man really seem to be no different from ordinary people.
There are two pillars of the mausoleum guards, one surnamed Fei and the other surnamed Yuan. Yuan Fei's two families are in-laws, and intermarriage is very frequent.
The Yuan family's attendants are all masters.
The Fei family is a martial heirloom, and the children of the family are good at rock climbing and retreat, and they are also good at hidden weapons, good at concealment, and their martial arts are extraordinary.
Their two big families live on the Taiping Mountain in the east of Yongji Lingdong, and have been mainly hunting for a living for generations, and also doing some leather business, and the family has extended to this day, and it was once two huge families, with hundreds of clansmen.
For a long time, not everyone from the two families has been trapped on the mountain, and occasionally the clansmen have come down the mountain, doing business, walking darts, and being ordinary Jianghu people.
There are even people who have taken the Xiucai exam, who have been admitted to the examination, and have entered the office seriously, although there are no high-ranking officials, but they can be regarded as changing the courtyard and shining the lintel.
However, the descendants of the two families must stay on the mountain, guard the family's secrets, and take care of the entire Yongji Tomb.
Only the descendants of the descendants can truly understand the secrets of the family.
In the troubled times a few years ago, there were also tomb robbers who had the idea of beating the imperial tomb, especially a hundred years ago, the Dashun Dynasty let the country besiege the capital, and the imperial tomb guards also poured out, and the imperial tomb was empty.
The Yuan and Fei families made great contributions to the Great Shun Dynasty.
Up to now, the descendants of the two families have withered, and they have long since lost the grandeur of the past, and the scattered children and grandchildren stick to the deep mountains and old forests, and the families live together, adding up to men, women, and children, a total of 247 people.
If she and Xia Zhiming's plan succeeded, it would be good if it was not exposed, but once it was revealed and alarmed the Imperial Tomb Protectors, the two families would probably face the real ...... The scourge of the Yi tribe.
Yang Yuying didn't hesitate much.
She has also been full of benevolence and morality all these years, and she has also been taught that she should be for the country and the people in life, but now she has to admit that she suspects that Yongjiling has something to do with the marshal, so she has to go in no matter what, and make sure that nothing goes wrong.
Even if she is willing to arrange a way back for these two families, is willing to help them minimize the danger, is willing to work hard to put them in a safer position, and is willing to let them always be in a state of being deceived and not fall into the tomb robbery turmoil, but the premise of all this is that she is calculating these innocent people.
If this story is presented on paper, if there is a protagonist in the Boss Clan, he will be the most hated and resentful villain.
Perhaps, she will become the kind of person who has been cut by a thousand knives, and some people feel that it is not enough to vent their hatred.
……
There is a mountain spring on Taiping Mountain, it flows down slowly from the crack in the mountain, the entrance is sweet, many people in the capital are the first day to send people to come and fetch water, to transport the water home before the first glow rises in the early morning, the first cup of tea in the morning, it is necessary to brew with this water, absorb the aura of the mountain, and keep the health of the high-quality.
Yang Yuying was a little thirsty, so she hurriedly went over and picked up a handful of water, and was about to drink it, when she looked up and saw that not far upstream, seven or eight little girls were sitting on the stones and washing their feet.
The white and tender feet were stained with water droplets, and they were quite shiny in the sunlight.
Yang Yuying silently threw away the water, endured the desire to wash her hands immediately, took a detour, and went around the stream next to her to wash it.
Although she didn't know if there was any other beautiful girl washing her feet, if it was just a beautiful girl, in case it was a sweaty young man......
A few men slowly descended from the path on the side of the mountain, all carrying backpacks, their hair beads flying, their arms exposed, and whistling loudly.
The little girl next to her screamed, and countless miscellaneous stones were thrown out, and the men laughed and strode away.
Yang Yuying: "......"
She thinks it's better not to think about it.
Taiping Mountain is only 200 miles away from the capital, but the atmosphere is very different.
Not to mention how conservative the capital is, at least the girls dare not take off their shoes and socks on the street, exposing their ankles, and even if it is hot, the men have to wear tight long shirts, and the buttons are tied from the neck.
Yang Yuying straightened her hat, and just saw a middle-aged woman coming down from the hillside, so she walked over and asked in a low voice, "Sister, dare to ask where is there a tea house nearby where you can rest?" ”
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and was very happy: "It's just right, my daughter's camellia is the best, see no, just below, with the mountain spring water, flowing down from this mountain, the tea boiled out is very sweet, the nobles in Beijing, to walk hundreds of miles to transport water, or in our place to drink tea is the most enjoyable." ”
Yang Yuying unconsciously thought of the little girl who washed her feet again.
"When I go back, whoever tells me again that he wants to use the spring water of Taiping Mountain to make me tea, I have to beat him with big-eared melon seeds."
"What?"
"I mean, thank you, big sister, I'm so thirsty...... I'm sorry for you to show me the way. ”
"Okay, follow me."
The woman immediately rejoiced.
All the way down the mountain road, most of the mountain roads on Taiping Mountain are trampled by herb pickers and woodcutters, at first glance, in addition to meandering, they are also very steep.
This woman walked very easily, her feet were very dexterous, and she passed lightly when she encountered a boulder, and she still had the strength to support Yang Yuying.
Yang Yuying just didn't pay attention, but in a moment, the two of them arrived at the tea house built in the middle of the mountain, and there were three mountaineers in the tea house, all of whom were dressed in strong suits, and they looked very capable.
Two of them sat in the doorway, the other by the window, and all three turned their heads from time to time to glance with interest at the woman at the counter.
This woman is only seventeen or eighteen, with a woman's hair in a bun, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and good facial features.
When the woman heard the voice, she slowly raised her head and saw the woman who entered the door with Yang Yuying, and her face suddenly showed a hint of joy: "Grandma, it's so early today." ”
"Bring you a guest, it's a distinguished guest, you must entertain well, and take out your ability to make tea."
The woman laughed.
The woman answered loudly, and soon carried a wooden bucket and scooped a bucket of water directly into the clear and bright pool water in front of the tea shop.
The mountain spring water gathers from the hillside, and a small stream winds its way into the pool, which is obviously the spring water of Taiping Mountain.
After a while, the tea boiled, and the woman carried a tall teapot in one hand and poured a pot of steaming tea for Yang Yuying.
The tea is just ordinary camellia, which can be fried, the color is slightly glowing with a little verdant light, and the whole cup of tea is full of luster and beauty.
Yang Yuying really didn't want to touch the teacup at all.
She pretended to hold a teacup, shook her head and looked serious.
In the Imperial City Division, they have all done all kinds of camouflage training, Yang Yuying, who doesn't like tea, pretends to be a tea ceremony master, which is also similar.
While sipping tea, Yang Yuying seemed to think of something, looked up and asked the woman who was also sitting at the counter, found a sewing basket out of nowhere, and began to make needlework: "Eldest sister, dare to ask if this Taiping Mountain backer has really found a 400-year-old ginseng king?" Who found it and is willing to sell? ”
The woman burst out laughing.
The woman who made the tea was also amused and shook her head: "The girl is also here to look for ginseng?" In the past few days, several groups of people have come one after another, all saying that they are looking for ginseng. “
"Yesterday, my brother came back from the capital, and said that he didn't know who was so boring, and spread such a clueless news in the capital and other places, saying that there was a medicine picker in the mountain tun, who went to the mountains to get an old ginseng that was more than 400 years old, and was planning to sell it to his son to marry a daughter-in-law."
"We have grown some ginseng in Taiping Mountain before, but where can we wait for four hundred years? But if there is twenty or thirty years, it will not be kept. ”
"Besides, there are only five medicine pickers on the mountain, and there is a woman, and the old man does have one, we all call him Uncle Fei, he is a mute, he has two sons, and he married a daughter-in-law at the age of thirteen or fourteen, this daughter-in-law is very easy to come, where is the need to sell ginseng and marry again?"
The woman's voice was crisp and vivid, and her voice was also high, and the three guests could naturally hear it, and they immediately looked disappointed.
Yang Yuying slowly relaxed her back, her face was quite low, and she muttered to herself: "I promised our family Xiaolin and Li Daochang to bring them good ginseng back for medicine, there is no good ginseng in Beijing recently, I don't know who is idle and has nothing to do to scavenge ginseng!" ”
The guest by the window poured a cup of tea and said angrily: "My father has been suffering from tuberculosis for many years, and finally invited Dr. Ge from the capital to come over, saying that he can prescribe a prescription for life extension, but he needs more than 100 years of old ginseng as medicine, but he can't see a single old ginseng recently, really, really...... Ay! ”
Yang Yuying said casually: "If it's just tuberculosis and it's not a big deal, it's fateful to see each other, I have a lung-clearing pill made by Li Daochang here, give you a bottle, take one with warm water every day, and it will get better in three to five days, if you want to break the root, it will take fourteen days." ”
