Chapter 50: The Storm is Coming
Because of the edict of Ling Guangjun, one of the two saints of Southern Chu, Xu Zhongyan and Xu Sanlang, a student of Qianlong County, Tongcheng, were spoken in the Zhaohua Hall of Lianzhou, the capital of Southern Chu.
There is a cloud in the city of Lianzhou, and the wind is everywhere in the four realms.
This biggest wind blew alone to Tongcheng, a small border city seven hundred miles northwest of Lianzhou.
In Tongcheng, the daughter of Liangzhou general Wen Zong, Wen died, stepped forward in times of crisis, and the soldiers took risks to steal Liang and change pillars, and hid 6,000 Liangzhou soldiers in Tongcheng openly.
Inside, Taishou Liu was only an alliance of advance and retreat, but he did not return to his heart.
There are also big clans in the city, or through Beiyu, or Liannan Chu.
Jin Xuan, the female county lieutenant of Qianlong County under the rule of Tongcheng, because of the tragic death of her friend Li Xun, attributed the culprit to the body of Dutong Zhoutong under the command of Wen, and was looking for an opportunity to take revenge at this time.
These three are internal worries.
In addition, a man who claimed to be "Tang Mingming" led a group of men into Tongcheng and was temporarily detained in a courtyard behind the government office, and his true identity and purpose are not yet known.
At the same time, another group of twenty-four strong men, coming from the direction of Dingyi County in Southern Chu, was wandering outside the city. Dingyi County is the territory of Dingyi Halberd Chuyang Pass, and this group of people is afraid that it is not good to come.
According to common sense, the Southern Chu Imperial Court will send people to Tongcheng to ask questions in the near future in order to show Liu's merits. This matter, like a sword hanging around the neck, does not know when it will be over.
These three are external problems.
At the same time, the young heroic Nan Yijian Cheng Wangshu was ordered by Feng Xian'er, the right minister of the Southern Chu Guifei, to escort Xu Zhongyan back to Qianlong County, which was difficult and unknown yet.
And what the real murderer behind killing Li Xun and luring Jin Juan to seek revenge on Wen Gu and others is, it is difficult to guess for a while.
Tongcheng is not dangerous, but now it is being stirred up by various forces.
And there are a lot of parties involved, and any slight movement in Tongcheng is related to the survival of the 6,000 Liangzhou army.
Since Zhou Tong entered the barracks, Wen Liang kept an eye on "Tang Mingming" and dismissed the guards until now, and another seven or eight days have passed.
Jin Xuan did not appear, Tang obviously also lived peacefully in the courtyard arranged for him, and the strong men outside the city still had no intention of entering the city, and even the Tongcheng clans who had made several troubles in the previous public inspection were also silent.
Only the courtyard where the old man is located is still lively today.
"A little to the left. Be careful not to loosen it anymore. ”
Zhixia stood outside the door, commanding several family members to carry the door to the main entrance of the courtyard.
The forehead of the door is black and gold, and the dragon and the phoenix dance are written with the three big characters of "do not lose your home".
It was still the matter of Jin Xuan that reminded her.
Ever since she found an identity, others have been calling her "Aunt Taishou" or "Mrs. Liu". And if you want to come to her mansion, it sounds even more troublesome, after all, the word "Taishou" is eye-catching, and "Mrs. Liu" is not the only one in Tongcheng. Others asked, is it inconvenient.
Because he still has to be "related" with Liu Zhu, it is absolutely impossible to use "Wen Mansion", so after thinking about it, he simply gave this house another name.
Wen thought in her heart that she had many more opportunities than others, but she didn't want her to waste it, so she wanted to use "the opportunity must not be lost" as the reason for her residence in Tongcheng, and she also reminded herself from time to time.
She briefly discussed this idea with Zhixia, but only said that every step after that would be difficult, and she must not miss the opportunity.
Zhixia immediately came up with a name, since "the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again", the first half of the sentence is fine, but the second half of the sentence does not sound so pleasant, it is better to call it "come to live again", which is also a good omen.
Wen Su laughed for a while after hearing this, and secretly thought in her heart that this name was in line with her situation, but she always felt that it was not so serious.
Also, Zhixia had a past with the name "Whole Fish Wonton", presumably she couldn't be found on this errand.
In this case, Wen Gu pondered the word "do not lose" by himself, and asked Taishou Liu to inscribe the words by himself in his busy schedule, made the door forehead, and hung it on this "do not lose the house".
Zhixia in the front yard was busy, but in the back, Li Mao came over in person.
Li Mao first filled in the gap of the main book in the past two days, he already has the ability to wear what to look like, and at this time, he is wearing an official uniform, but he has just the right amount of majesty.
It's just that the matter is urgent at this time, and the words are simple: "Miss, just stopped a person at the South City Gate, claiming to be Xu Zhongyan, but before he said a word, he fainted." ”
Leaning on the front of the collapse, Ben was still a little sleepy, but he was sober because of this sentence: "Xu Zhongyan? He's the only one? ”
Li Mao replied: "Exactly, there is still blood stained on his body, and it looks like he has fought several hard battles along the way." ”
Wen Gu nodded, as if he understood, but his brows were still furrowed: "I haven't heard from him since I scolded the palace, and I thought he was detained in Lianzhou, but he came back?" I'm afraid this journey will not be easy. ”
Li Mao said: "The medical officer gave him a brief inspection, and there were many wounds, but none of them were fatal. ”
"He is a scholar, and he will definitely not come back alone. Presumably, the people who sent him were more than lucky. Wen Gu said, and simply got up from the couch, "Tongcheng can't keep him, no matter if he has an accident or not, Nanchu will send someone to investigate or arrest him, these people can't live in Tongcheng." Send some people to send him back to Qianlong County, so that the Gong County Order can also identify it clearly. ”
Li Mao said yes, he should take the order, and was about to say something else, but he heard Wen Gu and said: "You can't let him go back by himself, let Uncle Wen send it, send it secretly, don't show traces, you must let him return to Qianlong County alive." ”
Li Mao responded, and said, "Miss, I was about to talk about Yu Hou's side." As soon as Xu Zhongyan appeared at the gate of the city, Tang obviously moved. ”
"Where are you going?" ”
"My people were out to answer Yu Hou, and they got the news, except for Tang Mingming, eleven people acted separately, and I don't know which place is the purpose." After Li Mao finished speaking, he paused, and said, "In addition, the twenty-four people outside the city were originally resting in the forest outside the city, and we have been staring at it from a distance, but we didn't dare to approach, but today we found that there were twelve people missing. ”
After Li Mao finished speaking, he did not answer immediately.
It seems that these people are all coming towards Xu Zhongyan.
"Don't let Uncle Wen go, find some reliable sends, cover up, and set off as soon as possible."
Li Mao naturally knew how to mix things up, so he bowed and went out, and when he went out, he happened to meet Zhixia.
Zhixia walked into the room briskly: "Miss, the door is hanged, do you want to take a look." ”
But I heard Wen Gu say: "I don't care about the door first, you can go to Qianlong County for me." ”
Wen explained the matter briefly and said a few heavy words before Zhixia was willing to leave her temporarily.
After the crowd left, there was nothing else to do.
It wasn't until the night that he was troubled and went to sleep in the second half of the night. These days have been dreamless for a long time, but tonight I dreamed.
In the dream, Liangzhou Tongcheng was connected to one place, and there were swords and soldiers in front of him, and there was always a golden sound in his ears. All kinds of chaos gathered in one place, and I felt that cold sweat soaked my whole body.
Then everything faded, and I felt that I was in the vast darkness, and I couldn't distinguish the road in front of me and behind me.
Suddenly, I heard a "boom" sound. I heard Xia Zhao's own voice again.
Waking up dazed, he finds himself sleeping in a carriage. The person was not fully awake, and he got out of the car with Zhixia.
In front of him, I saw Li Mao hurrying up and saying:
"Miss, Lianzhou Emergency!"
