Chapter 31: Entering the City
Originally, Cheng Wangshu had already arrived outside Tongcheng two days ago with Xu Zhongyan.
Xu Zhongyan saw that he didn't mean to go directly to Qianlong County, so he was embarrassed to ask.
The dry food for the two of them had already been exhausted, so they should make a supplement first. But Xu Zhongyan was first taken by him and walked around the outside of Tongcheng, thinking that he wanted to explore the situation around Tongcheng first, and then find an opportunity to enter the city.
But he didn't want Cheng Wangshu to stop here directly, and it seemed that he had other scruples or arrangements.
In the middle, Cheng Wangshu also asked him if he was hungry, Xu Zhongyan was still reckless at the time, but now he regrets it.
In fact, even if Xu Zhongyan said that he was hungry, Cheng Wangshu had to let him endure it first.
Ordinary people can't see the clues, but Cheng Wangshu can recognize at a glance that the surroundings of Tongcheng have long been arranged without leakage. Whether it's a tea house or a road, it's all been watched by ears and eyes.
He didn't know that this was Wenliang's secret guard and "Li Mao's person", and his intentions were unknown, and the two of them had to hover outside the city for some time, so for the sake of consideration, they didn't dare to show up easily, let alone buy food.
At this time, it was already dark, and Cheng Wangshu was fine, but he was still worried that Xu Zhongyan was hungry, and he was hesitating to use his murderous sword to cut off a hare, snake and rat and the like to satisfy his hunger, when a strange sound suddenly sounded from the canopy not far away.
Cheng Wang Shu Deng reacted, slashed his sword horizontally, and faintly covered Xu Zhongyan within the reach of his long sword.
The four fields were originally quiet, but at this time, there was a gust of wind out of thin air, and immediately, several daggers turned into silver light, shooting at Cheng Wangshu one after another, and the swordsman's body did not move, but he lightly cut it horizontally or intercepted, and stopped the daggers one by one.
"I'm still in a hurry, I'm so close, you don't even notice."
On the canopy not far away, a girl's voice sounded first, and then a petite figure jumped down lightly, and the two of them could see by the moonlight who else could be if it wasn't the Pleiades.
Cheng Wangshu let down his guard, put his sword into the sheath, and replied, "Hungry." ”
The Pleiades spoke first, also for fear that he would not reveal his identity, in case Cheng Wangshu counterattacked, he would not be able to parry. Hearing him answer like this at this time, he was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "You are really honest." ”
As he spoke, he approached and handed two biscuits to each of them.
"Thank you, Miss Pleiades." Xu Zhongyan first saluted, and then took the cake, but he didn't dare to eat it first, and then asked, "Miss Pleiades gave the cake to Brother Cheng and me, I wonder if I have used it?" ”
Pleiades gave him a blank look and said, "I've given you all the bread, what else can I eat?" ”
"Where does this make! The girl has been working hard all the way, if the water and rice are not entered, I am afraid that she will break her body, so please ask the Pleiades girl to use it first. After Xu Zhongyan finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Wangshu again, "You said yes, Brother Cheng." ”
saw that Cheng Wangshu had already eaten half of the bread, and ignored him.
Xu Zhongyan was embarrassed and wanted to distinguish two sentences for Cheng Wangshu, but Zhu Xing spoke first: "Don't sell good people here, eat yours." ”
The scholar was about to excuse himself, but he saw that the Pleiades took out a small box from his sleeve, raised it to him, and then opened it, and there were only some delicate fruits inside: "I'll eat this." ”
Only then did Xu Zhongyan know that she was teasing herself. At the moment, he was also very hungry, so he was no longer humble.
The Pleiades divided the water between them, and sat down on a high place with little dirt, and when they had finished eating, he asked, "When are you going to enter the city?" ”
Cheng Wangshu replied: "Immediately." ”
"On my way here, I saw that people had been arranged around the city, and I don't know who they were aiming for, and whether there was a portrait of this idiot in their hands. Can you be sure of entering the city immediately? The Pleiades shook his legs, but there was no nervousness.
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Wangshu replied simply.
Zhu Xing smiled, simply jumped down, and handed the letter in his hand to Cheng Wangshu: "Lingguangjun has a letter for you, you can read it first." ”
Cheng Wangshu took it, removed the fire paint, and unfolded the letter.
These people didn't know that this one was much longer than the one given to Chu Yangguan.
"Can I see it?" Pleiades approached him, blinked his eyes and asked, although he asked, he also consciously stood in the perspective of the content of the letter that he could not see, and only waited for Cheng Wangshu to reply.
Cheng Wangshu didn't speak, his expression didn't change, and he handed the letter directly to the Pleiades, which was what it meant for her to read.
In the letter, Ling Guangjun did also arrange for Decides and Xu Zhongyan.
Nothing else, the scholar is responsible for seducing, the swordsman is responsible for killing, and the Pleiades are responsible for speaking.
Pleiades didn't understand what Ling Guangjun wanted her to mean, so he just wrote them down one by one, then burned the letter, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Let's go, kill people." ”
Xu Zhongyan didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask more, so the three of them came down from a high place and headed for Tongcheng.
At this time, Tongcheng was not yet chaotic, but Tongcheng's heart was chaotic first.
These two Lang Zhong are the most important people in Tongcheng in the past two or three years, and the banquet prepared by Liu Zhu is also quite grand.
According to the meaning of the past, Liu Zhu did not complain about the miserable behavior at all, but only said that in addition to the treacherous and evil Yang Wantang, he confiscated the money accumulated in his mansion and defeated the Liangzhou army that took the opportunity to seize the city.
All the property obtained was enriched into the treasury, and it was used to strengthen the city walls, reorganize the armament, and defend Beiyu from Liangzhou to the south at any time. At the same time, he also presented the detailed account book to the two adults.
Although Liu Shu didn't say it, these two Lang Zhong must also know whose power Yang Wantang can rely on to be in such a situation.
This move is nothing more than to ask for Song Xiang's approval.
For Yang Wantang, both sides can know it, Song Yu has avoided some small troubles, and Liu Shu has also sold his personal favor with this, and the money in Tongcheng can also be put on the bright side from now on.
But to Liu's surprise, these two adults, especially the leading driver, seemed to be unconcerned about this matter.
However, Li Mao, who accompanied him, noticed something abnormal.
The people who came to Tongcheng first to inform the progress of the trip were waiting for the two adults to drive in the mansion, and when they saw someone coming, they wanted to come forward to greet them, but when they saw the driver, their movements were obviously sluggish, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Immediately, several people from the group came out of the line, pulled them aside, and whispered to each other. During this time, everyone's faces changed several times, and finally quieted down, but their expressions were not so natural.
After all, it doesn't look like he's familiar with that shelf Langzhong.
Li Mao has been secretly observing them, and he also took this scene into his eyes.
Tonight's banquet is quite important, Liu Zhu was afraid that something would go wrong, so he didn't take Li Xun with him, Li Mao couldn't get out at this time, so he sent his cronies next to him, took the opportunity to leave, and went to tell Wen the matter to the old man.
