Chapter 380: Stepping on Autumn and Meeting a Distant Guest
Chapter 380
For several days in a row, Song Nan took leave and stayed in the house to enjoy a good time, Sun Xuan was also very interesting, and took care of all the chores in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, except for the things that had to be made by Song Nan, the rest of the things did not bother Song Nan.
But in fact, Song Nan's life was not easy, of course, it was not the busyness of the room, but after experiencing the matter of suppressing thieves, witnessing the ravages of thieves outside Beijing, he couldn't pretend to be casual no matter what. But Song Nan also figured out the old man's warning, in the here and now, it is a wise choice to choose to shut up and endure, maybe the Ming Dynasty really needs a huge trauma to make some people really wake up.
If you don't break it, you can't stand it, it's easy to say, but how much price you will have to pay between breaking and standing, how many heads will be lost, and how much blood will be shed, Song Nan really thinks about it.
The daughters of the Song family also knew that Song Nan was preoccupied, and knew that Song Nan could not completely relax herself, so Ye Fanggu mentioned yƬ, and the whole family went out for an autumn trip, and got everyone's response on the spot.
It's nearly October, and it's better to travel at this time than to go to the place where the autumn is drunk, and the best way to reflect the autumn mood in the capital is to go to Xiangshan to see the red leaves.
Mother Song, who rarely goes out with Song Nan and them to play, also rarely agrees to go together, Mother Song is naturally indifferent to what red leaves and autumn intentions, or Lu Qingli said in one word: "The Bodhisattva of Dayong'an Temple is very effective, and my mother-in-law must be going to the temple, either to ask for prosperity and blessings for her children and grandchildren, or to ask for the safety of the house." ā
The crowd agreed.
Chose a sunny and hazy day, the Song Mansion got up early in the morning to travel, several cars slowly out of the West City Gate under the escort of more than a dozen high-headed horses of the Jinyi Guard Flag School, Xiangshan is about more than 40 miles outside the West Gate, and when they arrived, they arrived at the market town at the foot of the mountain, everyone got off the car and found a tea shop to rest, eat some snacks and tea and slowly hike up the mountain from the stone steps on the east slope; Along the way, everyone was full of interest, pointing out the scenery in the mountains, chattering and laughing non-stop.
The crowd is bustling on the stone steps mountain road that covers the sun, and there are many dignitaries and nobles in Beijing who come to play and enjoy the scenery, looking at the beautiful mountain scenery, blowing the cool autumn breeze, Song Nan also feels that the mood is much more comfortable, and everyone has to talk and laugh, climb to the Pingshan Pavilion, and the Great Yong'an Temple is near the Pingshan Pavilion to the left.
Behind a turning rock, there is a smooth mountain and stone platform, seeing that Song Mu is a little panting, Song Nan and the little county lord helped the old lady to take everyone to sit on the platform to rest, at this time Wang Yong quietly came behind Song Nan, who was laughing, and said in a low voice: "My lord, borrow a step to speak." ā
Song Nan saw Wang Yong's stern expression, his heart tightened, he got up and followed him to the side of the rock and asked, "What's wrong?" ā
"My lord, I feel that something is wrong."
Song Nan was shocked and said, "Something is wrong." ā
Wang Yong said in a low voice: "From the town at the foot of the mountain, there are people following us, don't look back, there are two people dressed as scholars in the back, and there are four businessmen in silk in front of them who have been keeping a distance from the left, and it seems that they are keeping an eye on us." ā
Song Nan said in a low voice: "How can you see it? Maybe people also go up to the mountain to play, so they are naturally together. ā
Wang Yong said: "These people are vigorous, this mountain road is so steep, they are a little out of breath when they walk in a humble position, and these people don't sweat a drop; Just now in Yunqi Cliff, the blue-shirted scholar stepped on the empty space, and ordinary people must have fallen, but he reacted quickly, and concluded that he must have martial arts. ā
Song Nan bit his lower lip and said, "Can you judge their intentions?" Friend or foe? ā
Wang Yong shook his head and said, "I don't dare to judge, but I can be sure that they are staring at us; Adults, it is inevitable that the trip will be cancelled to go down the mountain, and the mountain road will be even narrower after passing the Pingshan Pavilion. ā
Song Nan turned his head to look at the excited Song mother and his wife and concubine, and thought for a while: "Let's not be busy, let's find out if they are following us and their intentions, after all, we have a lot of people, and they don't dare to do it on this road." ā
Wang Yong said: "Do you want to take someone to arrest and ask directly?" ā
Song Nan shook his head and said, "No, you take someone to protect the old lady and them, I have my own way to test it out." ā
Wang Yong nodded and said, "Be careful, adults." ā
Song Nan nodded, turned around and came to the mountain stone platform where the wives and concubines rested, and the little county lord smiled: "Husband missed the show just now." ā
Song Nan smiled: "What's the show? ā
The little county lord said: "Qingli wrote a poem just now, it's so funny that my stomach hurts." ā
Lu Qingli patted the rocks and said, "Don't say it." ā
Mother Song touched her head and said, "My son, what is there to be ashamed of, tell your husband, and he is not an outsider." ā
The little county lord laughed and said: "Yes, yes, what is the shame; Qingli girl saw that the two scholars sitting and resting on the stone steps below always glanced this way, so she made a dozen limericks to satirize them, and the poem said: Two sour talents, a pair of toads, are looking at this side, and ordered someone to knock out their teeth! ā
Everyone leaned forward and closed again, Dai Su'er covered her mouth with a silk scarf and laughed, Lu Qingli said angrily: "Isn't it good to write?" Why are you making fun of me? ā
Song Nan couldn't help but smile, his eyes looked down, but he didn't see any shadow of a scholar, so he asked, "Where is the toad?" Why didn't I see it? ā
Everyone looked down, and sure enough, there was no trace of the two people, and the little county lord said: "I was still sitting there just now and pretending to look at the mountain view, maybe I was made fun of by the Qingli girl and fled in shame." ā
Song Nan was puzzled, glanced at Ye Fanggu, leaned over to Song's mother's side and said, "My mother and daughters-in-law will rest here for a while, and I will come when I go." ā
Song Mu said: "What's the matter?" ā
Song Nan smiled: "It's okay, just go down and take a look at the scenery, the scenery here is good, I want to see more." ā
Mother Song smiled: "It's really good, let's stop here a little longer." ā
Song Nan got up and walked down the stone steps, Ye Fanggu got Song Nan's eyes and got up to follow, and the little county lord quipped: "It seems that the husband is looking for trouble with the toads, this is to take a glimpse of the Qingli girl, if he peeks at Su'er, then won't the husband mobilize the flag schools of the Jinyi Guard Yamen to arrest them all over the mountains?" ā
Dai Su'er blushed and said, "Don't get involved with me." ā
Lu Qingli said leisurely: "Then if you sneak a glimpse of the little county lord, not only will all the members of the Jinyi Guard Yamen be dispatched, but also the Fenwu Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the guards of the Father's Mansion will not all be dispatched?" ā
The little county lord chirped: "Dead girl, with a clever mouth, I'll pull it for you." After saying that, he reached out and pinched Lu Qingli's mouth, Lu Qingli quickly shrank behind Song's mother and stuck out her tongue, and the two girls laughed and became a mess.
Dai Su'er frowned slightly and looked down, seeing Song Nan and Ye Fanggu exchanging words on the stone steps below, Ye Fanggu obviously reached out and touched her waist, and her face was also a little stern, and she suddenly became alert.
saw Song Nan reach out and hold Ye Fanggu's hand, the two talked a few words, walked side by side to the bottom of the stone steps, and gradually disappeared.
ā¦ā¦
Song Nan quietly informed Ye Fanggu of Wang Yong's warning, Ye Fanggu stretched out her hand and was about to pull out the short sword on her waist, but Song Nan hurriedly stopped her, and said in a low voice: "These two scholars are set on the left, don't be impulsive, let's find them, arrest them, and force them to ask for their identity intentions." ā
Ye Fanggu nodded, looked down the stone steps, and the mountain road all the way down was unobstructed, and there was no figure of the two scholars just now, Ye Fanggu pointed to the broken branches and leaves stepped on by the narrator of the mountain stone and whispered: "It must be hiding, there are traces here." ā
Song Nan said in a low voice: "Pretend not to see it, let's go around from behind." ā
The two pretended to point out the scenery, walked side by side to the mountain steps, after walking a hundred steps, it was estimated that they could no longer see themselves above, the two of them drilled into the trees from the crack in the mountain wall on the right, and quietly climbed up the recess on the mountain wall, and after climbing less than dozens of steps, they saw a corner of their clothes exposed under a huge rock, and a head with a square scarf was poking out of the rock to peep at the Song family on the mountain road.
Song Nan made a gesture, and the two slowly approached a few feet away, and suddenly heard the sound of a few calls, and the two scholars noticed it at the same time, and turned their heads to look back; Ye Fanggu jumped down from the rock like a big bird, the short sword in her hand was unsheathed, and a dazzling flash of light slashed directly at the face of the blue-shirted scholar; The scholar had no choice but to show his original form, his body retreated, his footsteps were a little fast on the rock, the folding fan brush in his hand was opened, and he was in a horizontal gear, and he actually blocked Ye Fanggu's sword, and the folding fan was actually safe and sound.
Ye Fanggu was a little stunned, and Song Nan's voice came from behind: "The fan bone is made of stainless steel, and the fan surface is not made of paper. ā
The two scholars turned around and left, and Song Nan shouted, "Friend, do you want to leave now?" ā
The blue-shirted scholar turned around and said with difficulty: "How about you want to be respected?" We didn't provoke you. ā
Although the voice is official, it sounds strange and awkward.
Song Nan frowned and said: "You just peeped into my concubine's room, this is not the work of a scholar, in my opinion, this is an insult to me, how can you say that you didn't provoke me?" ā
The blue-shirted scholar and the black-shirted scholar glanced at each other, and almost at the same time arched their hands and said: "It turned out that it was because of this incident, I was offended, we didn't mean to provoke the family members of the respected driver, but we just looked at the scenery and inadvertently offended, and looked at Haihan." ā
Ye Fanggu frowned and said, "Where are you from, how can you speak like this." ā
The two scholars didn't answer, and the black-shirted scholar reached out and took out a silver ingot from his arms and said: "If there is an offense, these ten taels of silver should be reparation, and the honorable driver will not be unforgiving because of this matter." ā
After saying that, he threw the silver to Song Nan, Song Nan reached out and took it, and said with a smile: "What a big hand, I will give ten taels of silver after a glance at others, you must know that there is such a good thing, I want to ask you to take a few more looks." ā
The two scholars arched their hands and said, "Farewell." ā
Song Nan shouted: "Shall I allow you to go?" ā
The two scholars frowned and said, "You also took the silver......
Song Nan took a sip and said, "The silver is amazing? Lao Tzu is a lot, if it is so cheap, you go home and bring the female dependents of your family to let me watch it recklessly, and watch it for twenty taels at a time, how about it? ā
The two scholars frowned and said, "It turns out that the Venerable Driver is determined to find our stubble. ā
Song Nan sneered: "Phew, the young master is so free, come to find your stubble, you two sneakily staring from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, what are your intentions?" If you don't say it, you'll be in great trouble today. ā
The two scholars were taken aback, and the black-shirted scholar smiled: "You're too careful, we just came to see the red leaves of Xiangshan, not staring at you, we don't know each other, why are we staring at you?" ā
Song Nan shouted: "It seems that the two of you don't plan to explain honestly, so don't blame me for being polite." ā
The blue-shirted scholar said coldly: "What about the honorable driver? ā
Song Nan said: "It can't be anything, at most, I will arrest you and enter the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and the eighteen tortures will all be repeated." ā
The blue-shirted scholar sneered and said, "It's up to you? I'm afraid that ten more won't work. ā
Song Nan smiled and said, "Then try it." ā
The smile on the face of the two scholars gradually became cold, revealing a fierce color, the folding fan in his hand shook gently, and after the folding fan was unfolded, he listened to the sound of the waves, and the front end of the folding fan was more than a dozen keels each stretched out a blade as thin as a cicada's wings, just like a blooming blade flower, which was beautiful but also made people feel chills down their spines.
Song Nan was dumbfounded, this was the first time he had seen such a strange-shaped blade, but Ye Fanggu had a stern expression and said in a low voice: "Be careful, there are weirdness, follow me." ā
Song Nan smiled and said, "Thank you for worrying, but you don't have to worry, I'm enough for myself." ā
Ye Fanggu was stunned for a moment, then saw Song Nan stretch out his hand and throw the silver high in the air, and shouted, "Give it back to you." ā
The silver fell high from the air, the green-shirted scholar stretched out his hand to catch it, and the black-shirted scholar on the side hurriedly took his body with him, at the same time, he heard a loud bang deafeningly, and the silver was bombarded on the rock by a strong force, and suddenly the stone chips flew and the smoke and dust were filled.
The two scholars unfolded their folding fans to block the flying stone chips, and Song Nan's voice came from their ears: "No matter how high your martial arts are, I will blast you into meat with one shot, and I don't believe that you are beaten with iron." ā
