Chapter 42.Secret Visit to Wu (5)

Shi Lao is a thoughtful person, and after pondering for a long time, he asked, "I don't know the name of your uncle?"

"You mighty men will follow me and know that we have no malice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" replied the self-proclaimed son of Yuan Chong.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, Heihu and Xiao Zhuge are ready, let's go with this Yuan Gongzi and meet this Gongzi's uncle. Shi Lao glanced at Yuan Chong and then said, "Yuan Gongzi can wait downstairs, we will be there after a while." ”

"Okay. ”

Zhang Yifeng said softly to Shi Lao: "Shi Lao, do you think this is evil or auspicious?"

Judging from what happened in the liquor store, it may be true as he said, if he is a villain, he doesn't need to be so polite to invite him. Shi Lao replied.

"Shi Lao is really a master, brother, I admire your reasoning ability more and more. Zhang Yifeng said approvingly.

"Master, you're right, in this big man, our old man is an absolute master outside the world. Xiao Zhuge squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Hehehe, Xiao Zhuge don't brag nonsense, everyone hurry up, set off when you're ready, don't let that Yuan Gongzi wait too long. Shi Lao said.

"Alright, we could have left a long time ago. Black Tiger said.

A group of four people sorted out their bags, walked downstairs in turn, and came to the door of the post house to see two carriages parked, the carriages were beautifully decorated and atmospheric, all of them were pulled by two horses, and the four of them got on the car under the guidance of Yuan Chong, only to listen to Yuan Chong and said: "Let's go." ”

"Drive. The coachman shouted, and the carriage started slowly, slowly drove into the avenue, and quickened its pace, and through the curtains of the car, I saw the buildings on both sides of the road moving rapidly backwards.

After a while, I heard the coachman say, "Childe, it's here." ”

"Oh, everyone, please get off here. Yuan Chong said.

Shi Lao and the others got out of the carriage, a solemn deep house compound was displayed in front of everyone, two big red lanterns were hung on both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate swaying in the wind, and there was a golden plaque written on the top of the center of the door with five big characters - the Prime Minister of Wu State's Mansion, and there were guards guarding the door inside and outside.

At this moment, the middle-aged man he saw in the Yuelai wine shop walked out of the door, and when he saw Shi Lao and his entourage, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Welcome to all strong men, please come to the mansion quickly." ”

"It turns out that you are Prime Minister Yuan, and the old man is polite here. Shi Lao hurriedly saluted forward.

"The old strong man is polite, Yuan An, the prime minister of Xia Wu State, it is inconvenient to speak outside the mansion, please hurry up. ”

"Yuan Cheng, please. ”

Yuan Ang led everyone into the Prime Minister's Mansion, crossed the two-story courtyard, and came to a house in the middle of the backyard, Yuan Ang said to Yuan Chong behind him: "Nephew, you are guarding the door and not letting anyone in." ”

"No, uncle. ”

Walking into the room, sitting down according to the guests and hosts, everyone introduced their names to Yuan Ang in turn, Yuan Ang smiled slightly: "Where are you from, what is the matter with coming to Guangling?"

Shi Lao thought that Yuan Ang recorded in history was a person who was upright, selfless, kind-hearted, discerning, admired by important officials of the imperial court, and respected by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, so he did not shy away from saying: "Prime Minister, we are from Yunzhong County in the north, and we are here to find clues to a murder case. ”

"Oh, you're also an official?"

Zhang Yifeng also heard Yuan An's name early, and hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, I served as the head of the tun on the border of Yunzhong County, and I was appointed by the top to track down the clues of the murder case all the way to here. ”

Yuan Ang heard Zhang Yifeng's answer and hurriedly said: "You guys are right to stay in the post house, the black-faced son provoked by the black tiger that day is a tyrant in Guangling City, named Sun Dazhi, nicknamed the black-faced uncle, just because his sister Sun Rujun is the favorite concubine in front of King Wu, no one dares to mess with him in Guangling City, since he suffered a loss in the wine shop that day, he has been walking around Guangling City every day with a group of people for several days, as if looking for your whereabouts. ”

Zhang Yifeng turned to Shi Lao and said, "Shi Lao, it seems that we are staying in Guangling City for a long time. ”

"Listening to what the prime minister said, it seems that Guangling is indeed not a place to stay for a long time at the moment. Shi Lao looked at Yuan Ang and then said, "Prime Minister, there is something I want to ask about the old man, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Just talk about it. ”

"Prime Minister, I wonder if you know who in the country of Wu has the ability to travel to the future and retrieve things in time and space?"

"Hehehe, some of them are just hearsay, I haven't seen them in person, I don't know why Shi Lao asked this question?"

"Don't hide it from the prime minister, I, Black Tiger, and Xiao Zhuge are from the future, and they were brought over by Lord Liu Xinweng. ”

"Oh, there are really people in Wu Guo who know how to do this, last time I heard King Wu say that his granddaughter has mastered extraordinary skills, and it will be of great use when she encounters mountains and rivers, I didn't think so at the time. Yuan Ang thought for a while and said, "Lord Weng Liu Xin seems to have a Taoist dressed master. ”

"Oh, may I ask the Prime Minister where this Taoist lives?" asked Shi Lao eagerly.

It seems to be in a Taoist temple on the Yangtze River in the west of Guangling City, the Taoist name is Duobao Taoist, legend has it that he has a variety of treasures, some can steal the sky and change the sun, some can call the wind and rain, some can change the world, some can summon the undead, some can drive fierce beasts, some can cause fires and so on, but no one has seen it with their own eyes, they all think that he is bragging. ”

"Hearing what the prime minister said, it seems that we are going to meet this Duobao Dao person for a while. Shi Lao said this, thought for a long time, and glanced at Yuan An, "We found that Lord Liu Xinweng brought some steel knives from our time, and I don't know why they were used. ”

Yuan Ang pondered for a long time and said: " Don't hide it from a few of you, I asked my nephew Yuan Chong to investigate that you have nothing to do with King Wu before I dared to invite you to the house to talk, now I confide in everyone, I have been in Wu for a few years, King Wu has shown his dissatisfaction with the central government from time to time, I am the prime minister of Wu sent by the emperor, if the relationship with King Wu is not handled well, with King Wu's fiery personality, my head will definitely not be protected, if you don't come to be the prime minister of Wu State, it is to resist the decree and not obey it, and still kill your head, now you can only bite the bullet according to the idea of your nephew Yuan Chong, do not interfere in anything in Wu State, just drink and pretend to be confused, the emperor sent someone to ask, I answered that King Wu will not opposeIn the past few days, my nephew Yuan Chong is an investigator just sent by the central government, and the steel knife brought by Lord Liu Xinweng that Shi Lao just said must be used to equip the elite troops of King Wu. ”

"Could it be that this Wu Kingdom can't make a steel knife, so it has to go to our ancient city to carry it so hard?" said the black tiger suspiciously.

"Hahaha, the black tiger doesn't know, the iron-making technology of the Han is not the best, for example, the steel knives of the Huns are sharper than the knives of the Han, and it is obvious that the two sides suffer losses when they go head-to-head. Liu Xinweng mainly took the steel knife from the future, presumably the future ironmaking technology is much better than the current one. Yuan Ang analyzed.

"The prime minister's analysis makes sense. Shi Lao said.

At this time, Yuan Chong said softly outside: "Uncle, Wu Shizi Liu Zihua has come to the house and is waiting in the living room in the front yard. ”

"Oh, what is he doing here?" Yuan Ang said in surprise, "Could it be that King Wu sent him to check on something, nephew, you hurry up to the living room to accompany me, and say that I will rest in the backyard and go over immediately." ”

"No. ”

Yuan Ang turned to Shi Lao and the other four and said, "I'm really sorry, you guys wait here for a while, don't go out, I'll go to the front yard to see what's going on with Wu Shizi and Liu Zihua." ”

"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite, you just go to receive the prince, and we will wait here. Shi Lao hurriedly replied.

Yuan Ang tidied up his clothes, turned around and walked to the front yard, just walked to the front yard and found that there were two big boxes in the living room, Liu Zihua was sitting on the mat in the living room and tasting tea with Yuan Chong, Yuan Ang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Liu Zihua and said: "I don't know if the prince is coming, there is a loss of welcome, rudeness, rudeness." ”

"Prime Minister, we are all our own family, so you don't have to be polite. When the prince saw Yuan Ang enter the door, he immediately stood up.

"I wonder what the Son of the World sent today?"

"Hehehe, Prime Minister, there is nothing to do, just entrusted by my father, come to visit the Prime Minister, my father said, the Prime Minister has worked hard for Wu Guo day and night, and he should come to visit in person as King Wu, but he has too many things recently, and he can't get out, so let me come to do it for me. ”

"The minister was appointed by the emperor, and the king's trust came to serve as the prime minister of Wu State, and he was careful and diligent in the prime minister's affairs day and night, lest he live up to the king's trust, but because of my personal ability, I feel that I am not doing very well everywhere. ”

"Hehehe, the prime minister is modest, my father specially asked me to bring the gift he gave you, and please accept it with a smile. ”

"King Xie Wu, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose. As soon as Yuan Ang heard that Wu Shizi had sent a gift instead of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, he hurriedly fell to the ground and thanked him.

"Hahaha, the prime minister doesn't need to thank you, I conveyed my father's intentions to the completion of the task, then I will leave. ”

Yuan Ang bothered the prince and sent him off. ”

"The prime minister doesn't have to send it, do things well, my father won't forget you, hahaha. Wu Shizi walked out of the living room with a smile and walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his entourage escort.

After Yuan Ang saw Wu Shizi Liu Zihua walking out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hurriedly opened the box sent by the prince to check, and saw a box full of golden gold and a box full of brilliant jewelry, Yuan Ang was speechless for a long time.

Yuan Chong immediately said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Nephew, do you want this gold and silver jewelry?"

"Uncle, the treasure sent to the door must be accepted. ”

"If I accept it, it's hard to explain it to the emperor, this, this, this. Yuan Ang was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot.

Yuan Chong hurriedly said: "Uncle is still the right thing to put away these gold, silver and jewelry, the emperor is hiding it for a day, even if the emperor knows, he can't give his life, if you return it to King Wu, it means that you are not his person, and you will immediately worry about your life, don't be stupid." ”

Yuan Ang paced back and forth for a few steps, shook his hand suddenly, and said, "Okay, take it." ”

After putting away the gold, silver and jewelry, he returned to the courtyard behind, and saw that Shi Lao and the four of them were still waiting here, Yuan Ang said: "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time, I just sent the prince away." ”

"You're welcome, Prime Minister Calendar, we've already disturbed you to deal with things, let's leave. ”

"Hehehe, it's nothing, I'm afraid you'll encounter Sun Dazhi looking for trouble in Guangling these days, it's better to hide for a few days, this is the address of a friend in the north of Guangling City, you can go to where he live, wait for a while and you come over again, what do you think?" said Yuan Ang handed Shi Lao an engraved bamboo slip.

Shi Lao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we have already discussed what to do just now, and we will come to Guangling to visit in a month or two, thank you Prime Minister for introducing friends, we will definitely come to visit." ”

"Okay, be careful outside, and come to me when you need my help. ”

"Don't worry, we will definitely trouble the prime minister to help if we have something in the future. ”

Shi Lao and the four of them got up at the same time and walked out of the door, Yuan Ang hurriedly walked in front to lead the way, and when he saw Yuan Chong, he said: "Nephew, you send everyone back to the post house, and take the opportunity to send them out of Guangling City safely." ”

"No. ”

Then everyone walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of Yuan Chong.
