Chapter 433: Xu Fat
"How does it feel?"
After Gou Moli and He Chunlai left, Zheng Fan spoke.
In the house, there were only people except him.
Chen Daxia shook his head, nodded again, and then, shook his head again,
Final Words:
"It's very complicated, but it's very transparent, especially the one that was confused before, suddenly like a flash of cold light, and it opened up in an instant, like a sword ........."
Chen Daxia waved his palm.
Marquis Zheng was a little helpless,
People really can't be compared, this product can have an epiphany like this.
Fortunately, Marquis Zheng is also used to it.
The Sword Saint's answer is even simpler, in the past two years, the Sword Saint has returned to the basics since the sentence of Marquis Zheng's sentence "You are only good at using swords, and you are not good at the rest".
He said:
"I'm here to use the sword, not the brain."
Simple
Direct.
But Hou Ye Zheng just wanted to talk to someone now, and said, "You can talk about it casually." ”
The Sword Saint was puzzled: "Gou Moli said, isn't it clear enough?" ”
"It's clear enough, but ......"
Zheng Fan got up from the couch, walked to the brazier, stretched out his hand, and brought a baked potato in his hand.
"However, the problem may be here, he may have said it too clearly, and he saw it too carefully, so he couldn't jump out."
A smile hung on the corner of the Sword Master's mouth:
"Looks like you're one level above him?"
"Because I'm stepping on his shoulders."
Zheng Fan peeled off the potato skin, took a bite, inhaled, chewed carefully, and continued:
"Anything, if you look closely, it's one thing, it's far away, it's high, and when you look at it, it's another.
This thing,
It looks like Prince Cheng's Mansion wants to be in power and wants to be loosened.
but
I don't think the current palace can have such far-reaching power. ”
"Are you underestimating the Jin people?" Juggernaut asked.
If you want to engage in regional discrimination, then my Sword Saint-sama will not be sleepy.
"I'm just going to take matters into account."
"The foundation of the Situ family is still there."
Zheng Fan shook his head and said: "It's different, Dachengguo, it's gone, let's take an analogy, when I was the garrison of Cuiliu Fort, there were thousands of people under my hands, and now, I am the Marquis of Pingxi, and all the soldiers and horses in the two passes and one city in the east of Jin have to listen to my dispatch, and even the four garrisons here in Yingdu will also listen to my dispatch;
But because of me?
Take off the hat of Pingxihou on my head, will the soldiers and horses on Yingdu's side listen to me?
So, the same goes for Prince Cheng's Mansion.
The background is there, after all, the imperial court didn't have time and was embarrassed to liquidate here, but if you want to say that the prince's mansion can still be more vigorous, it is not possible.
From Dacheng to the palace, the platform is different, you should think that it is all about ability, the general trend of the family and the country, and it is not your rivers and lakes, only speak with a sword. ”
"Then what do you think is the ultimate plot in the end?"
Marquis Zheng smiled,
Road:
"Aren't I going to Yanjing after autumn?"
"You told me."
This, Marquis Zheng let go of the wind in advance, and also made a schedule, after all, for the leaders of the secession clan towns outside, every time he enters Beijing, it is equivalent to going through the ghost gate.
The thorn-faced prince also left his Western Army and was imprisoned after entering Beijing.
It's just that during the autumn trip, I haven't negotiated the price with the Sword Saint yet, for example, to seek some benefits for the people of Jindong or something.
Marquis Zheng tore off a piece of potato skin,
I took a bite down there,
"Hoo ......"
Licked his lips,
Zheng Fan looked at the Sword Master,
Road:
"I'm the one who plotted it."
………
Gou Moli relied on the waist card of the Pingxi Hou Mansion to recruit the secret spy who had a good "eyesight" to take the helm, and asked him to give some background information about the family portal caravan on the grounds of the Hou Ye's order.
Whether it is for Gou Moli or He Chunlai, it has been some time since they left Ying.
Yingdu is a huge vanity fair, here, every once in a while, a family falls, and a new family rises;
Jin people, Yan people, cutting-edge, old, all kinds of forces are complex and intertwined, which new talent, which one stands on the right team first, which one recruits a capable and promising son-in-law, etc.;
Therefore, Gou Moli wants to update his background cognition of Yingdu.
Sometimes, doing things is not about the number of people, but about efficiency, and when the rooster crows at dawn, Gou Moli finally sorted out the list of people who died of poisoning this time.
"Hehe, it's really a bit clear." Gou Moli picked up the list and sighed at the rising sun outside the window.
He Chunlai rubbed his eyes, he also helped all night, and asked:
"I'm going to prepare breakfast for Master Hou."
After a pause,
He Chunlai asked again:
"This, do you want to bring it to Master Hou together?"
forthwith
He Chunlai added:
"You go and deliver it."
Gou Moli glanced at He Chunlai, shook his head, and said:
"When the Hou Ye asks, I'll talk about it."
"Is that okay?"
"How old are you, after just working all night, you can't help but want to ask for credit?
Where is this, besides, how to intervene in this matter next depends on Hou Ye's own intentions.
And ......"
"What else, you say?"
"I want to eat the noodles."
……
"This noodle is too badly cooked, and I don't chew it."
In the inn,
A large man complained to a bowl of noodles.
"My lord, why don't I cook it?" A guard beside him said.
Xu Wenzu nodded, pointed to the bowl of noodles in front of him, and said, "Any of you, give it food, don't spoil the food." ”
Another guard stepped forward and ate the bowl of noodles.
Xu Wenzu left the table, he just stuffed his teeth with a bowl of noodles, but first asked the people at the post station to make a bowl to see, since it didn't work, then it was better to make it himself, after all, he had to eat six or seven bowls of a meal before he would feel full.
"Ahem......... Too! ”
After clearing his throat, Xu Wenzu stretched his waist, walked to the window on the second floor of the post station, and said:
"Yingdu is away from here, and there are only two or three days left, right?"
"Yes, sir."
Xu Wenzu's face showed a little nostalgia.
"Your Excellency, are you reluctant to give up His Royal Highness?" The guard quipped.
Xu Wenzu is in Nanwangcheng, and the cooperation with the eldest prince is seamless, Xu Wenzu is in charge of logistics, the locality, and the eldest prince is in charge of the military, obviously Dayan does not have a Zhenbei Army or Jingnan Army in Yinlang County, but he still withstood the pressure from the three sides of the Qianguo.
After that, with the eldest prince beheading Zhong Wenmian, both of them were promoted.
"Hey." Xu Wenzu shook his head, "Now that we have arrived at this realm, we can also talk about what we think in our hearts, although the eldest prince is powerful, but when we get to Yingdu, we are partnering with that Brother Zheng, and that person's ability is really convincing." ”
Although the Pingxi Hou Mansion in eastern Jindong has been carrying out a series of production self-help campaigns such as large-scale land development and large-scale production, promoting development through commerce and trade, etc.,
But in the eyes of the outside world,
The Pingxi Hou Mansion in the east of Jin is still a relatively simple military town,
And Yingdu will be its bloodline.
Therefore, even Xu Wenzu felt that when he went to Yingdu to serve as Taishou, he actually gave him Zheng Fan to protect the logistics, so that Zheng Fan could suppress the savages and the Chu people, and by the way, the Jin people.
"It's also embarrassing to think about it, but my subordinates once talked to the Hou Ye of Pingxi, and the Hou Ye also gave his subordinates a golden melon seed to make tea money."
"Haha, then you can be considered proud in this life, and if you have a child in the future, no, after you have a grandson, you can also blow it with your grandson."
After Xu Wenzu laughed,
sighed,
Road;
"It's only been a few years, it's just Hou Ye, although I already knew that he was not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect to be able to get up so fast and so amazing."
Xu Wenzu still remembers the scenes when he met Zheng Fan;
He had sent someone to investigate, but he didn't find a family named Zheng Chenggong in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.
but
These have long been meaningless,
Isn't it?
"Huh? It smells so good. ”
Xu Wenzu sniffed, leaned out of the window, and saw someone in the courtyard outside with a pot, and meat was boiling inside, and the meat was fragrant.
"Go and ask which of your lord's entourages are below."
"Yes, sir."
The guards immediately went down and asked.
Then
The middle-aged man who had been sitting there quietly drinking tea and holding a linden stick next to him got up and walked over,
Road:
"My lord, don't be too troublesome, have you forgotten what happened to the post station outside Yincheng?"
Xu Wenzu was stunned for a moment,
Waving hands,
Road:
"Okay." Old friends Chinese network
After that,
He closed the window and sat back down at the table.
This post station is located in the west of the former Jin Kingdom Gyeonggi, and it can be said that it will enter the territory of the former Situ family.
The post station is very large,
Xu Wenzu brought more than 100 personal guards, all of whom were good in the army, and after staying at the post station, he couldn't help but say that he occupied the back half of the post station.
Originally, it was planned to completely empty the post station, but because there were so many guards, even if other positions were cleared, they would not be able to be deployed, so only the backyard was kept.
After seeing Xu Wenzu's identity documents, Yicheng immediately said that he would cooperate in an all-round way.
Although the window was closed, the fragrance still came in from time to time.
"Straight lady thief, how can it be so fragrant!"
Xu Wenzu knocked on the table, one of his biggest hobbies in his life is eating!
But he's not the kind of person who doesn't take things seriously.
In addition, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of grass ropes,
After being reminded, he could only hold his hands on the table and swallow his saliva incessantly.
At this time, the guards who had gone down to inquire came back and reported:
"My lord, it's Mr. Wen Xi of Prince Yingducheng's Mansion, after visiting relatives and returning home, he is now going back to Yingdu Palace."
"Someone from the Prince's Mansion?" Xu Wenzu wiped his mouth, a little surprised.
The man with the stick asked, "Is your identity accurate?" ”
"Back to Master Liao's words, the villain has just verified their documents and waist cards, and confirmed that they are from Prince Cheng's mansion."
Xu Wenzu immediately looked at Master Liao,
Road:
"Master Liao, since you are a person from Prince Cheng's Mansion, you will be my colleague in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to talk about some things about Yingdu and the palace first, and make some preparations in advance."
Master Liao knew what Xu Wenzu wanted to do, it was nothing more than coveting other people's food;
This reason is indeed tenable.
but
Master Liao still shook his head and said:
"Lord Xu, I promised you that I would ensure that you go all the way to Yingdu, so you have to listen to me all the way, and you will arrive in Yingdu in two days, and it will not be too late to meet and talk again at that time."
Xu Wenzu let out a low roar in his throat,
At last
Or sit back in your chair,
Head pillow arms,
Soon
There was a snoring sound.
Seeing this, Master Liao couldn't help but shake his head, this Lord Xu is extremely shrewd most of the time on weekdays, but sometimes he likes to play some children's tempers.
Of course, Master Liao didn't dare to despise him, because he had seen how this lord managed the logistics of the huge Nanwang City and the army of the Great Prince in an orderly manner.
Actually, the people didn't plan to rest at the inn;
The big guys are in a hurry all the way, basically just eating, drinking and resting casually on the side of the road, even if they are marching, they can't be as fast as this.
But here's the problem.
Lord Xu's pike beast, after holding on for so many days, finally pulled his crotch.
One of its hooves was lame, and it had to be handed over to the post station here to raise, plus Xu Wenzu and below, even the guards were very tired and needed to rest, so Master Liao agreed to enter the post station to rest for a day.
The most important thing is that he also has to consider that when everyone enters Yingdu, he can't let the new Taishou Lord who came to take up his post be embarrassed.
At this time, the guard who had cooked noodles before came in with a basin, but was stopped by Master Liao and said, "Put it on the side to cool first." ”
Xu Wenzu, who was lying on the table, muttered while snoring:
"If the noodles are left for a long time, they will be lumpy, and they will not taste good."
Master Liao was helpless, so he had to say, "Then adults, will you eat now?" ”
"Smelling the smell of meat, I can't eat other foods at all."
Xu Wenzu sat up again helplessly, looking at the basin of noodles in front of him, with a look of disgust.
"Master Liao, you say, this is bright and sunny in broad daylight, this official is an official of the imperial court, and one party is fiefdoming, how can he be like a thief in his own land?
Could it be that it can't be done,
My Dayan's officials are on the road, and they all have to tremble like this? ”
"My lord, if it were in normal times, I would definitely not dissuade you, if you are happy to walk in the city, you can go to the city, and if you want to go outside the city to hunt game, you can hunt game;
But this time, it's different. ”
"What's the difference?"
"This time, you are going to Yingdu, and you are likely to meet that Pingxi Hou."
"Hey, it's interesting, go see my brother Zheng, what's wrong?"
"Who did you see the last time you were assassinated at the inn?"
"Uh...... Brother Zheng. ”
"That's it, this time, when you go to Yingdu, it's very likely that you want to see him too."
"What does it matter? Could it be that if I didn't go to see him once, I would have to be assassinated once? ”
"The Marquis of Pingxi, Hongfu Qitian, in the past few years, several wars, meritorious achievements, and himself, safe and sound, it can be seen that he is a man of great luck."
"And then?"
"There are people with great luck around you, and sometimes, it's a good thing not to see it, just like people like to wear jade with them, and take the effect of jade to ward off disasters."
"Hehehe, hahaha."
Xu Wenzu laughed and said:
"Co-author, I'm specifically for my brother Zheng to prevent disasters?"
"Be careful."
"Master Liao, when did you learn this fortune-telling method?"
"Lord Xu, have you forgotten, before returning to the world, I was the unsigning monk in the temple."
Saying,
Liao Gang stood with a Bodhi stick and closed it with one hand,
"Amitabha."
"That's it, just listen to you, listen to you, be careful, be careful, come on, bring the noodle bowl to the window, Master Liao, if I don't go down, I'll just be under the smell of meat in the courtyard outside, okay?"
Liao Gang frowned slightly, but finally nodded.
The window was opened again, and the basin was brought to the window.
Xu Wenzu took chopsticks, swallowed a large mouthful of noodles, and then took a deep breath and chewed with his eyes closed.
"This meat is fragrant, thick but not greasy, thick with sweetness, sweet and astringent, astringent and sour, tsk tsk ........."
Xu Wenzu took another big mouthful of noodles.
Liao Gang stood by the window.
"Master Liao, guess what kind of meat is boiling in that cauldron?"
"I don't eat much meat, but I vaguely remember eating it a few times before I entered the temple when I was young, so I can't tell it."
"Okay, then I'll tell you, in this world, regardless of his beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck, fish, all poultry raised, all one domain breeds, if you don't go to that big ingredient, it is actually a single taste.
But in this world,
There is only one kind of meat, because it eats grains, eats what flies in the sky, walks on the ground, swims in the water, soaks in tea foam, smokes in stones, bakes on the warm kang, and covers cotton wool.........
Why is the roast duck in Yanjing City so famous?
Because it pays attention to the duck before entering the oven, it has to pass eighteen preludes;
But the meat I just talked about, not only eighteen, that taste, no need to add any condiments, just the well water boiled, a fine taste, the taste, absolutely. ”
Xu Wenzu said,
The more solemn Liao Gang's face became next to him,
even
The guards around him didn't realize it at first, but slowly, their faces began to change.
Xu Wenzu ate another big mouthful of noodles and drank a big mouthful of noodle soup,
His face suddenly turned cold,
Sprinkle the whole basin down,
Laughing at the bottom,
"I really don't know the number of etiquette, the official has chartered the backyard of the entire post station, and a sober person knows that the identity of the official is not simple;
Since you cook the delicacies of this world,
It's just that the official didn't go down,
Why don't you send someone over to ask the official what he means?
Straight sissy thief,
I don't believe it,
Jin people are officials,
are all so upright and honest, don't even bother to shoot Shangguan's sycophants? ”
Then
A white-haired old man walked into the courtyard, stood in front of the pot, and hugged his fist at Xu Wenzu at the window above.
Yell:
"My lord, it's not that the lower officials don't understand the etiquette, and it's not that the lower officials are high, but this meat, it takes a little more time to stew before the meat is really crispy and rotten, but it's not in a hurry.
Adults look at the figure,
I know that I am an expert in eating,
Please sir, later,
After the pot is boiling,
Xiaguan will invite adults to taste it again, in order to find the flavor of the world in my Jindi, you know, this meat, this water, this firewood, Xiaguan is carefully selected, if it is not for the purpose of patting your ass, I am really reluctant to take it out. ”
Xu Wenzu stretched out his hand and patted the window,
Yell:
"That's just like words, come, the official asks you, what kind of water is the water in this pot?"
The old man raised his head,
Answer:
"Look at the water of the river!"
"What kind of firewood is under this pot?"
"Firewood from the beams of a hundred houses!"
"What kind of meat is the meat in this pot?"
The old man's face turned pale,
With both hands behind his back,
Roared:
"In the river water, there is the flesh and blood of the unjustly drowned!"
