Chapter 28 A Visit to the Dead
When I went back to the carriage, I happened to meet Mu Ziqing and the three of them coming back together, and Sister Yun, who was walking in front, was still wearing a veil hat, and said with a shallow smile after seeing He Le: "He Le, I didn't expect you to become handsome overnight!"
"Ah, Sister Yun made fun of ......" He Le habitually let them debut and let them pass. He still has no way to deal with women, he just thinks it's best to escape.
Sister Yun left with a snicker, Mu Ziqing stood there with a smile, and she looked even more amiable after cleaning up. It's not beautiful, but it just gives people a feeling of being willing to be close. He Le smiled gently and asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten?" Did they bully you?"
"No, they're all very nice, that young lady is so beautiful, I've never seen it before. ”
He Le knew who she was talking about, but he didn't expect Mu Ziqing to comment on them. In He Le's impression, Sister Yun is quite average, but that girl is indifferent to the fireworks of the world, and she will be cold and glamorous thousands of miles away.
"It's okay, our family's Mu Ziqing is really beautiful, no worse than anyone else!" He Le said proudly.
"Childe doesn't study well!" Mu Ziqing blushed and got into the carriage. She didn't think she was comparable to that girl in terms of appearance, and that kind of beauty confirmed the parable that should only exist in heaven and that was never heard in the world.
Of course, He Le still remembers what he looked like when he first met, and it is indeed unforgettable, but so what. He felt that such a girl was destined to have nothing to do with him, so why bother. So since then, I have refused to keep her in my heart and just do my own thing.
Dispel the distractions in his heart, He Le sat in the carriage and prepared to leave. Now they have to drive their carriages by themselves, but fortunately, in the Northland, He Le has long learned to drive the carriage, and he can also ride horses. In He Le's words, the first thing he learned was the ability to escape for his life.
In the next few days, as expected, he drove out of Jiangxia Prefecture unusually smoothly, and the army at the state border stopped. He Le originally wanted to go over to thank him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go, the other party obviously didn't want to get things through for the time being, so why did he bother to highlight his IQ.
But when Nadu Kui was leaving, he shot a heavy arrow at the side of the army, and on the arrow hung a cloth bag embroidered with the character Cao, and there were ten taels of gold in the cloth bag.
After Jiangxia Prefecture, to the east is Guangling Prefecture. It is said that Guangling Prefecture is further east of the sea, He Le has not seen the sea, and does not know what the sea is like. Since entering Guangling Prefecture, the landform here is a little different, the mountains are bigger and higher, and the hills have become fewer. There are more flat roads, which also makes it easier to drive.
Because of the multiple attacks, the convoy remained vigilant and walked east for a day before continuing south. After six or seven days of walking smoothly, the convoy turned to a county seat. On the map, the county seat is named Qingzhu, and Qingzhu County is indeed famous for its abundance of moso bamboo. A convoy of only seven horse-drawn carriages got off the official road and headed for Qingzhu County along the slightly rudimentary Pu Road. Fortunately, Qingzhu County is not far from the official road, and everyone came to this remote small county town after walking for half a day.
Because this place is peaceful all the year round, the county town has not built fortifications such as city walls, and only the archway built of bamboo is the gate of the county seat. At the foot of the door stood a young man dressed as a scholar, looking left and right, when he saw the carriage coming, he immediately met him.
"Are you guests from Lin'an?" the scholar's voice was very soft.
Du Kui, who was in the lead, glanced back, and then nodded in response.
"I thought it was the master who punished me, but it turned out that there were really guests from Lin'an. The boy patted his chest, as if relieved.
He Le looked at the scholar from afar and thought it was very interesting. At the same time, he was also surprised, unless the Shang Gongzi had written with the gentleman beforehand, how could he know that they were coming.
"This little brother can lead the way. Du Kui dismounted, as polite as he could.
"Well, you come with me. The scholar led them through the small county town of Qingzhu, where they stood beside a bustling market.
"It's hard to get into the carriage further in, and the carriage can stop here first, and there's still a little way there. The boy pointed to the alley next to the bazaar, for there was no end in sight.
Du Kui frowned, although there were already officials in the county seat, but they could not ensure that the thieves were ambushed here. Compared to walking on guarded official roads, this kind of alley is more dangerous.
He Le got out of the carriage and looked around to see that this was a sparsely populated county town, and the few pedestrians walked very slowly even on the road, as if they were not in a hurry to do anything. If they could rest, they would definitely lie down. When I'm really hungry, I'll make myself something to eat.
"Just listen to him, it's true that you can't get into the carriage over there. "Without waiting for Du Kui to ask, someone has already come to agree.
After parking the carriage at the bazaar and leaving it guarded, the crowd walked into the alley.
He Le and Mu Ziqing walked to the back and followed behind Shang Gongzi, starting with the three puppet stand-ins. This alley is supposed to be a few years old, the stone walls on both sides are covered with moss, and the humid climate of the south makes the whole alley feel wet.
He Le walked very carefully at every step, but seeing Sun Tianyi's indifferent appearance, he also had a little more courage. After all, he still has Mu Ziqing by his side, so he has to be timid.
After walking for about half a pillar of incense, they stopped in front of a humble house made entirely of bamboo.
The host said that only two people could enter, and he hoped that the guests would choose by themselves. The scholar gave a sly expression. Apparently he had been instructed, but he probably didn't know the identity of the guest, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to say so.
The three stand-ins stood in front of the door, hesitating to go further. Shang Gongzi looked at Sun Tianyi and Zhang Zhichun, then turned around and patted He Le on the shoulder, and then walked inside alone. He Le took two steps to keep up, and he also admired Shang Gongzi a little. People often say that the appearance of the emperor and the bearing of the emperor are not so easy. For example, Shang Gongzi came to the danger in person, although he was protected by a master who could leave the country, but there were many assassination and poison schemes on the rivers and lakes, and if he had to come to the sea tactics, even the Guiyuan Realm would not be able to protect him. Just like now, the people in the bamboo hut are clearly testing his courage, and if it is really a trap, he will have to fill it with his life.
When he was about to step into the bamboo house, He Le stepped in one step ahead of time to make sure that he was okay before his whole body entered it. Shang Gongzi followed him without the slightest pause.
The bamboo hut is very simple, there is only one bamboo couch, and a middle-aged man is kneeling on the bamboo couch.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Shang Gongzi stood in front of the man and looked at it, not in a hurry to speak. The other party put on such a big formation, but knelt down on the bamboo couch to greet him, obviously setting up layers of bureaus.
"Li Qing's family, let's get even!" After seeing enough, Shang Gongzi said slowly.
"The sinners don't dare, there were many people who were not thoughtful before, and they didn't welcome people from afar, and they are still guilty of capital crimes. ”
"Li Yuan, don't pretend. I have never seen anything you fear, get up, and kneel to the ground. Shang Gongzi also took his sleeve to sweep away the dust on the bamboo couch and sat on the bamboo couch.
"Yes, thank you. That Li Yuan really sat on the bamboo couch as he said, and he didn't get off the bamboo couch from beginning to end.
"You're really still so slippery, it looks like you've been living comfortably in exile for the past few years. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince complimented. Li Yuan was not embarrassed at all, and nodded very sincerely.
"Then do you know what I'm here for?"
"There are two reasons why the prince will come here, one is to go south, and the other is to reinstate the guilty minister. ”
"Okay, you iron-mouthed god is a fatal officer, so how do you see him?" Shang Gongzi did not admit or deny it, but pointed to He Le and asked.
"Don't look at it, you can't say anything about him. "Li Yuan didn't tell people for the first time, which was unexpected by Shang Gongzi. Originally, he just tried it casually, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to not count.
"Why?"
"People have seven absolute and eight evils, and their lives are heaven and earth. I am walking on a small road, and he will take a high road, and it is against the norm to count the small as the great. ”
Shang Gongzi didn't understand here, but He Le understood, and instantly looked at this chattering man.
"You mean he's going to be very creative?"
"No, his fate is in charge, and he has to get through it first. Li Yuan's words changed sharply, and he no longer looked at He Le.
The originally thoughtful Shang Gongzi didn't bother anymore, after all, he didn't come here to ask about the future, but to let this person go out of the mountain to assist him.
"Tell me what you think about the world. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has looked up to him, and the guilty minister has been in the cage for a long time, and he has not asked about the world for many years. Li Yuan was lying on the bamboo couch, a little funny and a little scoundrel.
"It seems that Mr. still complains about not saying anything to save him at the beginning!" said Shang Gongzi Zhengse.
"The criminal minister didn't dare, it was right for His Highness not to speak out at the beginning, otherwise the criminal minister would have been in a different place. Besides, although it is not as prosperous as Lin'an, it is also leisurely. ”
"Isn't it time to invite Mr. Fudo this time?"
"The criminals need time, and they will meet in Lin'an City in three years. His Royal Highness will also have a day to ascend to the throne. ”
Shang Gongzi finally heard what he wanted to hear, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, this breath pressed all the way from Lin'an, almost making him breathless.
"But this situation?"
"The situation will not change for three years, and when it does, it will be the day when the world will meet. His Highness will also be the key to changing all this. ”
"Three years ......" Shang Gongzi remembered his father who was in Lin'an City and sang and danced all day long, what could he say as a son. It seems that he can only endure for another three years.
"Then is it useful to go to the south?" Although the prophecy itinerary was just a trail, Shang Gongzi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry. ”
"That's very good, you get up!" Shang Gongzi saw that he had a plan, and thought that it was his plan. This Li Yuan can be regarded as a strange person, his father was just an idle prince back then, although he was not drunk and dreamed of death, but he was also a prince who had done all kinds of bastard things. But when he first saw the prince, even if he was allowed to become the Ninety-Five Supreme. Soon there were rumors of the birth of heaven and man, followed by a great drought in the north and an invasion of the Jin people. Emperor Jianzhen died on the battlefield, and the southern clan stepped forward to carry his father out of the throne and become Emperor Jianlong.
Originally, Emperor Jianlong wanted him to calculate the national Zuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he said that he didn't count anything, and he also came up with a set of theories to say that the national Zuo should not be said lightly, which would damage the national fortune. Originally, he was also fooled by him, but one day Emperor Jianlong asked him to calculate who among the sons would inherit the unification, and he moved out a set of rhetoric to fool the past, who knew that this time Emperor Jianlong was furious and was ready to be pushed out and beheaded. It was still a few important ministers who had benefited from him who came forward to intercede, so he was only exiled for thousands of miles.
