Chapter 42: The Capital

Zhuo Yihang still asked: "Today it all depends on the eldest brother to take precautions earlier and make arrangements in advance, or I really don't know what the result is." It's just, big brother, you do that, isn't there some?"

In the end, Zhuo Yihang was obviously a little hesitant.

Regarding Zhuo Yihang's hesitation, Zhuo Bufan just smiled and said: "If I don't arrange it like that, even if we are fine today, the next time the king will still come to deal with us." Now, that Wang Bingbei must be in a hurry, and he doesn't have the energy to deal with us in the future! ”

Zhuo Yihang was still a little hesitant: "Big brother, if you let people know that the person who assassinated Qin Cha is"

Zhuo Bufan said: "As long as we don't say it, no one will know, and we don't have the intention of harming others, just trying to protect ourselves!" ”

Moreover, the ultimate goal of those who want to kill the chincha is not the chincha. Now, we have to send the Qincha back to the capital as soon as possible, so that they will be safe. I'll leave it to you! ”

Zhuo Yihang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "Got it, big brother!" ”

Zhuo Yihang left, where was Zhuo Bufan still sitting quietly.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop!"

Zhuo Bufan felt for the first time that he was so helpless, could it be that everyone felt that he was a bully? Originally, he just wanted to quietly arrange a back road for the Zhuo family, arrange the young and old of the Zhuo family, and then pursue his own martial arts path.

Who knows, the affairs of the Zhuo family are constant.

"It looks like we're going to get a hot hand!"

After drinking the last sip of tea, Zhuo Bufan quietly left!

Location: Imperial Capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Characters: Zhuo Bufan, Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhuo Bufan, the surprise in his heart was beyond words, he really didn't expect that Zhuo Bufan would suddenly appear here without alarming anyone, if it weren't for Zhuo Bufan's appearance in front of him. He couldn't believe that someone would appear in front of him so silently.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, Zhuo Bufan said: "To be honest, I admire you a lot, you can come to this point today, no matter which way you look at it." You can be called the best of the best. It's a pity that I had to kill you! ”

Wei Zhongxian suddenly wanted to laugh, there were many people who wanted to kill him, but it was rare for someone to say this in front of him.

Although he didn't know how Zhuo Bufan appeared here, he didn't think that Zhuo Bufan could kill him.

However, Wei Zhongxian is still dead!

Died silently, and by the time his body was found, he had been dead for a long time.

No one knows how Wei Zhongxian died. No one even knows who killed him or why!

This has become a huge mystery, and it has become another big mystery after the case of the assassination of the prince.

When Zhuo Yihang escorted Qin Cha back to the capital, he heard the news of Wei Zhongxian's death.

A eunuch is dead, and no one will pay attention. But if it is a powerful eunuch, and it is still a very strange way to die, then it will make people pay attention and make people curious.

Wei Zhongxian died in the palace. But it was only discovered when he had been dead for a long time.

He did not die of disease, nor did he die of a sword.

Because Wei Zhongxian didn't have any wounds on his body.

But. He's still dead!

Such a strange way of dying makes it difficult not to pay attention.

For this matter, the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered Jinyi Weidong Factory to solve the case as soon as possible.

But a lot of time has passed, and neither Jinyiwei nor Dongchang have found any clues.

I don't know when, the archway in the capital began to circulate countless versions of the cause of Wei Zhongxian's death.

Some say that he died of death and incurable diseases, and some say that he died of ghosts and gods. It is even said that he died of heavenly punishment and retribution, and some people boldly speculate that Wei Zhongxian's death is related to the current saint

All kinds of speculations, but different!

When Zhuo Yihang first heard it, he just regarded it as an anecdote and didn't think much about it. I never thought that Wei Zhongxian's death was related to his eldest brother.

Sending the two Qincha back to Jingshi safely, Zhuo Yihang declined the polite invitation of the two Qincha, and planned to stay in Jingshi for only one day and leave the next day.

Zhuo Yihang was not in a hurry to be in Zhuo's Mansion in the capital, when that mansion left, Zhuo Bufan had already arranged for the housekeeper at home to arrange for it to be sold, and he didn't know if he had made a move now.

Zhuo Yihang just found an inn restaurant at random and asked for two dishes and a pot of hot tea.

He was already back in his room after the meal.

There is already a bath water prepared by Xiao Er in the room, which he ordered earlier, and now calculate the time, just right.

After a long time on the road, I haven't been able to rest well, even on the road, I am wary of this mind, afraid that someone will assassinate the two Qincha.

Now, finally relaxed, Zhuo Yihang took a hot bath.

Maybe it was too comfortable, Zhuo Yihang actually paused in the hot water for a while.

He may have thought of something, his closed eyes unconsciously relaxed, the whole person also relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved, as if he thought of someone or something!

When Zhuo Yihang woke up, the water temperature began to cool down a little.

Zhuo Yihang sighed unconsciously, then wiped his body, got dressed, and ordered Xiao Er in the store to clean up the water and the big wooden jar.

It was late at night, and Zhuo Yihang lay quietly on the bed.

But he couldn't sleep!

The night moon was silent, and a figure came to the head of the inn, but it didn't make a sound.

Until the figure stopped in one place, pulled in and took a look, it turned out to be Zhuo Yihang.

I saw that Zhuo Yihang seemed to be a little melancholy at this time, and he was still holding a small pot in his hand, and the aroma wafting out of the mouth of the pot knew that this was the fragrance of wine.

Zhuo Yihang drinking, this is a rare scene.

Leaning back on a wooden pole on the roof, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky with some blank eyes, Zhuo Yihang rarely used to taking a sip of wine with heroism.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Maybe it was because it was too urgent, or maybe it was because he wasn't quite used to the taste of this wine, Zhuo Yihang was choked by himself.

The stars dotted in the night sky are so dazzling, but it can't completely resolve the melancholy in Zhuo Yihang's heart.

There is no doubt that Zhuo Yihang's mind is no longer here.

He's thinking about someone. A person he shouldn't have thought about, but he couldn't suppress thinking about it all the time.

- Jade Rakshasa.

Zhuo Yihang no longer knows what his reaction and impression he had when he first heard this name.

But in his mind, it shouldn't be so good.

And when he first saw the real person, he still couldn't forget the man who said to him, "Yo, I'm scared." When I was scared, I wanted to take someone as a companion, and you ignored me. ”

The strong, stubborn, but lonely man.

Competitive she will make a little bit of a small saying when she finds herself letting her: "Humph! I don't want you to let me! ”

The pouting mouth is so cute.

Alone, she can also say calmly: "I have no friends!" ”

At this time, the loneliness in her eyes is so distressing!

She's mischievous and a little petite

She has a lot of personality and little temper.

However, it is such a person, but he has never forgotten it.

By the way, she also has a very beautiful name - Ni Dress, practice Ni Dress.

"If only she weren't a Jade Rakshasa. How nice that would be! ”

Zhuo Yihang sometimes thought about it, but then he would think: "If she is not the Jade Rakshasa, then she is not her anymore!" ”

In such thoughts, Zhuo Yihang got used to taking a sip of wine again.

The wine is spicy, it is prickly, yes

Only it is not sweet.

Take one sip after another, and the wine is endless. If a man is drunk, he has no sleep at night!

Finally, the wine runs out. And people do not return, Zhuo Yihang's confusion has not decreased, but increased.

It seems to be talking to oneself, and it seems to be whispering to oneself: "What should I do?" ”

Huashan Huanglong Cave, when Lian Nishang said to Zhuo Yihang: "Hmph, I don't need you to let me!" After that. The atmosphere of the two people in the cave also became a little subtle as the two of them changed.

When you hear the roars of the mountain beasts.

This delicate atmosphere was first broken by Zhuo Yihang.

Zhuo Yihang looked in the direction outside the cave and said, "I think the rain should have stopped!" ”

Now that all the wild beasts in the mountains have come out, the rain that wants to come outside has also stopped.

Lian Nishang seemed to feel that Zhuo Yihang was about to leave, but he ignored himself, and said unconsciously: "Yo." I'm so scared, I want to have someone as a companion when I'm scared, and you ignore me. ”

seems to have completely forgotten that he was playing petty with Zhuo Yihang just now.

When Zhuo Yihang heard this, he didn't know whether practicing Nishang was intentional or unintentional, but looking at her pitiful little appearance, he forgot for a moment that this girl also had light skills no less than his.

Just thinking that this girl was alone here, I was a little worried that she would run into the beast of the mountain.

He said, "If Miss is afraid, I'll send you home." ”

Zhuo Yihang blurted out these words, without going through his brain at all, as if he was instinctive.

After saying this, he was a little hot again, wondering if he was a little abrupt like this.

But there is some joy!

Lian Nishang did not answer Zhuo Yihang directly, but slowly approached the entrance of the cave and looked at the sky, the sun had come out outside, and there was no warm feeling shining on the body, because the drizzle had just stopped, and the outside looked as if it had just been washed, which was so refreshing.

Lian Nishang's nose wrinkled, he took a breath of air, and then said, "The rain has stopped, and there are people waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain!" I don't have to bother you. ”

Regarding Lian Nishang's answer, Zhuo Yihang's heart couldn't tell whether he was lost or happy, but just lightly "Hmm!" "Yes.

Lian Nishang said again: "Okay, I'm going home." ”

Zhuo Yihang thought that he would be separated from this girl, and he might never see each other again in the future, so he wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask.

When she heard Lian Nishang say that she wanted to go home, she wanted to ask her: "You have no father or mother, who else is there in the family." Where is home? ”

But seeing that Lian Nishang's words and deeds were secretive, and thinking that if she asked like this, she was afraid of arousing her sadness, so she didn't ask.

So he said, "Okay, I'm going down the mountain too!" ”

Lian Nishang said: "Then you go first!" ”

Zhuo Yihang walked out of the cave and wanted to turn back, but he didn't have the courage to go down the mountain, but at this time, he didn't use light skills to hurry. Instead, he walked at the pace of an ordinary person.

Suddenly, the sound of Lian Nishang came from behind him, calling him, Zhuo Yihang looked back in amazement, and there was some surprise in his heart.

I saw Lian Nishang say loudly: "I want you to rely on me for one thing." ”

Zhuo Yihang also replied loudly: "Listen to what you say, I will follow it!" ”

Lian Nishang said: "You met me." You are not allowed to say it to anyone. ”

Zhuo Yihang didn't know how, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, but he just smiled: "This matter is good, let's meet in Pingshui, and forget it after that." I said what it does? ”

Hearing this, Lian Nishang's eyes turned red, and he suddenly said: "It turns out that you don't reassure me at all." ”

Lian Nishang's reaction overwhelmed Zhuo Yihang, so he had to say: "I'm going back to my hometown, we may not be able to meet again in the future." "Speaking of which. Zhuo Yihang's heart didn't know why it was a little gloomy: "But if he can see him again in the future, I will definitely treat you as a good friend." ”

Lian Nishang waved his hand vigorously and said, "Okay, you go!" ”

I don't know if it's because it's her first friend or not

This time, Zhuo Yihang carried light skills, ran down the mountain, and when he reached the mountain pass, he couldn't help but turn around, and vaguely seemed to see Lian Nishang leaning in front of the rock.

Zhuo Yihang went down the mountain. I came to the house where the horses were being deposited.

Yesterday, Zhuo Yihang had already said that he would come back today to pick up the horse, and the family had already prepared. When Zhuo Yihang arrived, there was a strong man waiting there.

The man was quite strong, and his hands were covered with thick calluses.

There are some meager martial arts, but they are only stronger than ordinary people, and there is no comparison with people like Zhuo Yihang.

He is also a hunter in this mountain, and Zhuo Yihang's horses seem to be much more energetic than yesterday.

Visible. The family is well taken care of.

Zhuo Yihang wanted to give some compensation, but the man said that Zhuo Yihang had already given it yesterday, and today's one can't be accepted!

Zhuo Yihang also saw the seriousness in the man's eyes. He stopped insisting, led the horse, and prepared to leave

On the second day, when Zhuo Yihang woke up, he only felt a little dizzy in his head, and it seemed that his head was a little heavier than before.

After washing my face, I felt much refreshed.

"This wine, it seems that you still have to drink less!"

Zhuo Yihang felt that there was still the smell of wine left by yesterday in his throat.

made him wonder if he had a sip of wine that he didn't swallow and stayed in his throat.

After Zhuo Yihang washed up, the second child in the store had already prepared morning tea.

After using the morning tea, Zhuo Yihang felt a lot better.

Out of the inn, the outside is quite lively, although it is still early, but people can be seen everywhere.

It's just that most of these people are shopkeepers and business vendors who get up early to set up stalls and open their doors, and there are some who drive ox carts to deliver vegetables.

These people are busy for their livelihoods.

There are few people who want Zhuo Yihang to be so idle.

Come to think of it, those who have free time are still sleeping at home!

Zhuo Yihang came to a small shop in the city, saying that it was a shop, but there were only two middle-aged couples, one acting as a cook, and the other being a buddy and collecting money.

The store can only accommodate a fire room for making things, and it can't entertain customers at all.

So, outside the shop, there is a shed, a few bamboo poles fixed with stones, and a top that seems to be made of straw stalks, which may not be able to shelter from the rain, but it is still possible to hide from the sun.

It's just that at this time, the sun that has just come out is not stinging, and the sunlight emitted does not make people feel the slightest warmth.

"A basket of steamed buns, a bowl of soup!"

Zhuo Yihang likes the steamed buns of this house very much, and every time he used to go back to Beijing, most of them ate breakfast at this house.

"Okay! Wait, wait! ”

It didn't take long for Zhuo Yihang to ask for the buns and broth.

The buns, which have just been steamed and removed, are still steaming, looking full and clear, as soon as you enter the mouth, you will be full of fragrant, the taste is fresh but not greasy, and the skin is thin and filling.

The soup was also very refreshing.

These are all made from fresh pork that the owner had bought early in the morning and had bought from the owner.

Although there is not much shredded meat in the soup, it is made with pork bones, ginger and other ingredients in a unique way.

Eating a bite of steamed buns and drinking a mouthful of soup is really refreshing!

There are more and more guests, and there are more and more people eating steamed buns, and soon, a small shed is already full of people, some are late, and the people who sit without tables, chairs and benches can only hold the broth in one hand and the bun in the other, and sit on the ground directly on the side or by leaning or kicking or sitting directly on the ground, and eat like this.

However, these guests are basically ordinary people in sackcloth or neighbors in the neighborhood, but there is no one like Zhuo Yihang who came here specifically and looks like a rich child, he is the only one.

Maybe it's because of their shame that those who are dressed ordinarily, or who look like they know they are coolies, don't lean on Zhuo Yihang's table.

In the end, in addition to himself, there was only one person sitting at Zhuo Yihang's table, who looked a little rich and happy, and something flashed in his eyes from time to time, letting people know that he was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

This person Zhuo Yihang knows, is the shopkeeper of a nearby pawn shop, and often comes here to eat.

The other is an old man, an old pedant, who is dressed plainly, and his blue and white clothes seem to be a little pale and faded because they have been washed many times.

But this person is clean and clean, and his sitting posture is also standard and abnormal, and when he eats, his every move is impeccable.

Because this person is here, no one at the table dares to speak, and even the quick-witted child next to him is honestly eating steamed buns and drinking broth, so that people can't see that this child is still a naughty child king on this street.

Sitting next to the child was a lean man, who looked a little lean, but his skin was a little dark, and his eyes and the child were almost carved out of a mold, and they all revealed a sense of cleverness. He is the father of the child, he is not very old, only in his twenties, but he has become a bookkeeper of a large family, and I heard that he is very talented in abacus. (To be continued.) )
