The Road Back to Beijing (IX) (Part I)

"Leader Long has an order, let us go to the dock and guard Tang Sanshao's boat, he just took the woman on the boat. The dragon leader said that no matter what, even if the boat was scuttled, he couldn't let them leave today. "Someone went to Aoki Besanin to give an order. More than a hundred mountain guards, in an orderly and silent manner, left the Aoki Annexin from multiple directions and rushed to the docks.

"What the hell is Longshan doing, didn't you tell him to keep people, why did you go to the dock?" The spy didn't hear what they were saying, but saw them retreat to the dock: "Our princess and prince are still on the way, and it will be at night. How is it good? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? The above just let us follow, didn't let us shoot. And what Longshan can't do if it's so powerful, do you think it's up to us, what can we do? ”

"But if we don't do anything, we'll all be taken by the princess to feed her snake."

"That can't be helped, now I have to keep up."

By the time they arrived at the dock, the Yamanbe's subordinates had already guarded the place, and they could only watch from afar, unable to get close.

Soon after they left the courtyard, six people quietly entered the northwest corner of the Aoki Annex, which was already a small courtyard in the Locke Mountain, each carrying a burlap bag, and the people of the Aoki Society quietly prepared a cauldron for them and filled it with boiling water. The men poured the contents of their burlap bags into the cauldron and soaked them. When it was dark, the potions were packed in leather bags and disappeared into the night.

In the secular stack, the movement of the sacrificial garden on the day did not attract the attention of others, but Jin Jiu's eyeliner did not slip out. He was just passing by this time, but he didn't expect to meet him, and after inquiring about it, he found out that it was so lively here these days, and even the emperor sent someone here. In the past few days, in Luojia Town, for the emperor to send someone to stuff the woman for Tang Sangongzi, the major wine shops and restaurants have been talking about it very lively. Jin Jiu stayed by himself in the secular stack every time he came, so he didn't report to his subordinates, and he really didn't know. Interestingly, he listened to the report of his subordinates and thought, this person's life has even paid attention to all parties in the palace. It seems that he has been too focused on the Jin family's business recently, and needs to pay more attention to the imperial court.

After reporting these gossips, the subordinates looked at Jin Jiu, who was a little distracted, although it was not good to interrupt the master's thinking, but after staying in front of him for a long time, the subordinates felt panicked, and just wanted to finish speaking and quit early: "Young master, in addition, there is a message from the South Road, The prince of Nanyue and the honor guard of Princess Qianhua passed through Jiuyang, and the old owner specially set up a banquet to entertain him, but the prince and the princess did not show up. The old owner said that this matter is strange, the business of Nanyue does not care about the Jin family now, but the old owner promised the old lady that he must take care of the Nanyue side, not to mention that the prince and the princess are the blood of the eldest aunt and grandmother, if the Nanyue prince has an accident in the Great Zhou, it is not easy to explain to people, the old owner instructed that the affairs of Jiangnan should be postponed, not busy with the past, and let the young master deal with the affairs of the Nanyue prince in Gyeonggi Province as appropriate. ”

Jin Jiu frowned, the prince of Nanyue came to Da Zhou to ask for relatives, they had already gotten the news earlier, but thinking that the prince had a letter of state, and there was a guard of honor, this was what the court was worried about, and Jin Jiu didn't care. Now that there is such a moth, will the prince and Princess Qianhua leave the team without permission? If so, you're in trouble. There are still five or six days to go from Luojia Town, Jiuyang, and three days to go to Beijing. And that Qianhua has not been a fuel-efficient lamp since she was a child. Since Jin Jiu met Qianhua and the prince of Nanyue at the age of five, this princess of Qianhua has done her own thing to give her mother and concubine, how much trouble has the king of Nanyue and a group of related people found, and even the Jin family has twice poured out for her in the Great Zhou. In order to remember the old love, my grandfather married my eldest aunt into the South Vietnamese royal family, and in the past few years, he invested a lot of money in assisting the prince and consolidating the status of the eldest aunt in the palace. Now that my grandfather has passed away, the Jin family is headed by Jin Jiu's own grandmother, the stepmother of Mrs. Jin, and the stepmother of the eldest aunt. Although the old lady is gone, there is less family affection to move around, but the Jin family has not contributed less money and efforts than when the old lady was there.

The Jin family is thin, men do not live long, and the past five generations are all men who died early, and the women in the family are in charge. If Mrs. Jin has adult grandchildren like her, she can be regarded as having a long life. Mrs. Jin only has one son and one daughter, the eldest daughter married to Nanyue, and the eldest son was trampled to death by a frightened horse three years ago, and now there is a grandmother in charge of daily housework. All the affairs outside fell on Jin Jiu, he was really annoyed, and now he had to deal with this matter.

Jin Jiu sighed, irritably threw aside the ledger he was rummaging with, dragged a piece of paper, and began to draw. The subordinates didn't understand what he meant, and they didn't dare to ask, so they could only wait by the side.

Fortunately, his mother has been strict since he was a child, and in addition to his obsessive piano skills, Jin Jiu's calligraphy and painting are also first-class, and with a stick of incense, he traced the portraits of Qianhua and the Prince of Nanyue, and handed them to his subordinates: "Let people copy them overnight, distribute them to the people of our branches, and ask us a few big merchants, Yuehuaxuan and Qianbeitang, and notify us immediately when you see them." As soon as there is news, I will immediately send people along the way to secretly protect and wait for me to pass. ”

The subordinates have to be convinced, the young master is not very old, and this ability is still incomparable to ordinary people. Just about to go out, I heard Jin Jiu say again: "Slow, Qianhua may like to change appearance." As he spoke, he drew another face, like a thousand flowers, but in men's clothing. There are hundreds or thousands of guys in various places, and you can't expect everyone to have sharp eyes and see the female companion's men's clothes, or draw them more clearly. Most people are unimaginative.

After a few strokes, he threw it to his subordinates: "All three are sent out, most of those stupid people will be deceived by women disguised as men." ”

The subordinate twitched his face, okay, what the master said is right, many people are not aware of women pretending to be men, but the key is that the people who are pretending to be too realistic are good. Some women imitate a man in both their voices and walking movements, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.

He was thinking about men disguising themselves as women, and the master had already jumped to another topic: "Go and prepare a generous gift for the shopkeeper of the Aoki Courtyard in Luojia Town, and ask him to help ask their master, and let the brothers of the Aoki Society help us find someone and help protect them." ”

"Tang Sanshao is in Luojia Town, why don't you go and see him in person and ask him for a favor?"

"I don't want to see him." The subordinates listened to the tone of a little special, looked up, how did they think that the young master was a little girl awkward when he said this. He rubbed his eyes, Maybe he was tired from running back and forth this time, He was dazzled, and now the young master was obviously cold and arrogant. The subordinates sighed a little in their hearts, Let's ask Tang Sanshao for something, can you put down your arrogance and lower your posture to ask for it. The young master is very shrewd in receiving people and things at ordinary times, why is he stupid when he encounters Tang Sanshao's affairs? I want to socialize with people more, and I always hold a shelf, how many opportunities have I missed, originally the aunt and grandmother of the Tang family are also good friends, and the two sides have so many business contacts, how easy is it to find an excuse to talk more? But there are few main ends, and they have been anxious for so many years. Forget it, he can only muttered in his heart, If he really said it, it annoyed the young master, and sent him to that corner to be stunned, then he would be depressed.

Wake up in the morning in Locke's Town to the sound of sprinkles, hawkings, and busy cars. Early in the morning, Long Shan, that is, Li Shanshan, took his brothers out of the fairyland courtyard, the only place of fireworks in the town, walked to the stall around the street to buy breakfast, patted a large piece of silver on the table for the shopkeeper, ordered a bunch of oil cakes, fried cakes, tofu brains, and devoured them.

"A few masters, the meat buns you ordered, just steamed, be careful to scald." The owner was busy and hospitable. It's early in the morning, it's big business, and I'm happy.

"What's more, give the brothers a whole head up." Yongshan commanded. This day and night of detoxification, not only did he not eat or drink, but also consumed physical strength, and he and his brothers had already collapsed.

After detoxifying, Sanshao hurriedly led the white girl to rest. The white girl has not stopped for a day and a night, she is tired enough to choke, thinking of the beautiful woman, He is a little grateful in his heart, Although he has some resentment when she and Sanshao forced them to defect to Sanshao, but as the poison is unraveled and the pain disappears, this resentment also disappears. Besides, although Ichitodo used to be loud in the rivers and lakes, it is really nothing compared to Aokisha. It may be a good choice to have a backer to give the brothers a good future.

The boss brought over a basket of steamed buns and fried pancakes, and the late customers at the front door of the stall had to wait in line for the next round. The next round is good, the boss will discuss with them, first sell to other customers, and then give them to do it again, a few brothers have something to cushion their stomachs, although they are still far from being full, and after a day and a night of escaping death, they are in a good mood and they should be. The guests immediately had a good impression of these people, and some of them enthusiastically accosted them.

"Brothers, where did they all come from, looking at the pile of steamers and bowls in front of you, how long has it been since you eat?"

There are brothers who directly refer to the Wonderland Temple.

The guests suddenly were all bold and rough men, and a group of people laughed and joked, so lively.

Long Shan looked at the smiling brothers, while eating a rough breakfast, while chatting with the surrounding people, it looked quite peaceful, yes, it is the word peace. Maybe that's the life the brothers want. No one wants to be born for the dark. San Shao said that the biggest purpose for him to take over Pingluan Pavilion was to reduce the chaos in the imperial court. Once the snipe and the clam fight, the most unlucky is the people, as a person who practices martial arts, the master has told them chivalry when he got started, and it is within his duty to deal with a bad guy and fight grievances, to ensure the safety of one party, and to protect the peace of the world is the real chivalry. Maybe their surrender is right.
