Text Chapter 119: A Taste Teahouse
Su Muwan and his entourage didn't know that the Taishou Mansion was already in chaos at this time, they drove all night, and they didn't even rest in the middle, and finally arrived in Dingzhou at noon the next day.
As soon as she arrived, Du Yueniang was about to say goodbye to everyone, but Su Muwan stopped her.
Because although Du Yueniang wanted to go to the nun temple, she only heard about it by chance and didn't know the specific location, so Su Muwan was not worried that she would leave alone, and decided to send her there before continuing to hurry.
After all, this is also Su Muwan's kindness, so Du Yueniang also agreed, and she also felt that getting along with this group of people made her heart feel a lot easier.
Especially Qingfeng, who is about the same age as her son, and has a similar name, so looking at him, Du Yueniang felt a little ironed in her heart.
Su Muwan asked Mo Yan and Mo Yu to find an inn to live in first, and after repairing it, she went to Shangguan Yu's people here to send a message, and also helped Du Yueniang find out the news of the temple.
In order to prevent their faces from being remembered, Su Muwan, Du Yueniang, and Xiaoliu put veils on their faces as soon as they got off the carriage, and they dressed up like this, which did not attract people's attention.
This is also related to the topography of Dingzhou, because Dingzhou is surrounded by water on both sides, and the roads and waterways extend in all directions, so it is a transportation hub of the Dazhou Dynasty, and it is naturally a state with the most prosperous trade.
Therefore, there are many people coming and going here, and there are people of all religions and nine streams.
It's just that there are more people, and there are more rights and wrongs, so many people's female dependents often hide their faces with hats when they go out to avoid trouble.
In this way, the veil on Su Muwan's face will naturally be inconspicuous.
After arriving at the inn, Su Muwan immediately washed off the birthmark drawn on her face and resumed her man's dress.
Let Xiaoliu take Du Yueniang, as well as Liu Mu and others to rest here, she took Mo Yan and Mo Yu out of the inn directly.
When Shangguan Yu established his own secret guard, he established contact points in several state cities for convenience.
This Dingzhou has a superior location and is well-informed, so it is natural to build one here.
If the secret guard has an emergency outside and can't contact him in time, you can use the code as a voucher to find someone to answer at the contact point.
Although Mo Yan Mo Yu didn't know who was in charge of the joint in Dingzhou, he also knew what the code was in its place.
Su Muwan followed the two of them left and right and walked around the street, and came to a teahouse next to the downtown area.
There are four big words "Yiwei Teahouse" hanging on it, and Su Muwan is a little familiar with these words.
It is a bit like Shangguan Yu's handwriting, although it is very different, but some details still look like his handwriting, so Su Muwan is a little confused in her heart.
"Why do I look at this word, it looks like the handwriting of your lord?"
Mo Yan saw that no one was paying attention around, so he nodded hurriedly, with some surprise on his face.
"The princess has very good eyesight, this is exactly the handwriting written by the lord with his left hand, I didn't expect it to be recognized in this way."
Left handed?
Su Muwan felt a little speechless, who would have thought that this dignified Yu Wang Ye would actually practice the technique of opening a bow with his left and right hands at the same time, and his ink was hanging on the teahouse in this downtown area.
The people who come and go on the street can't think of it.
She saw that this teahouse didn't look special from the outside, but after entering it, she found that there was a lot of things inside.
A small platform was built in the middle of this teahouse, and someone was talking about it at this time.
Instead of a few tables as in other teahouses, there are small cubicles separated by screens on the first floor, which are arranged in such a way that they do not interfere with the privacy of the guests, and are also very elegant.
"A few guest officers, how many of you are coming to listen to books, or to drink refreshments, if you are listening to books, it is most convenient on this floor, if you are drinking tea and chatting, there are private rooms on the second floor."
As soon as he saw Su Muwan and the others, the second child in the teahouse greeted him eagerly.
Mo Yan shook his head and handed him a silver ingot.
"We want a single room on the second floor, remember that we want a single room on Tianzi No. 1, don't make a mistake."
Hearing Mo Yan say this, Xiao Er's face showed some surprise, but he quickly put it away.
"Gotcha! Guests, if you go up this staircase, the westernmost room is the room of the first day. ”
"It's just that this room is not qualified for anyone to enter, and I hope to think twice."
The words of the shopkeeper sounded quite meaningful.
Mo Yan Mo Yu didn't respond to him, and went straight to the second floor with Su Muwan, walked to the front of the room, and pushed the door open.
Su Muwan glanced inside and found that there was nothing special in it, not even a figure.
After a few people sat down, a graceful woman came outside, and she laughed before she saw the three of them.
After coming in, Su Muwan looked at her unusual appearance, and what was even more rare was that she was in excellent shape.
The water snake has a plump breasts on its waist, and when it walks, it has a good demeanor and a variety of appearances.
"A few guest officers don't know what kind of tea they want to come, since they are going to come to this Tianzi No. 1 room, they should know what kind of tea they want to drink."
"Do you have the tea we want to drink?"
Mo Yan didn't answer her question directly, but asked.
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, like a peony on a branch.
"The guests are really joking, no matter what kind of tea you are, as long as you can name it, we have it!"
"Well, the tea I want to drink, the water is the snow water that fell on the pine and cypress branches in the heavy snow outside Dingzhou five years ago, and the tea is the new tea of the hundred-year-old tea tree on the top of Yufeng before the Qingming Festival last year, and the fried Longjing before the rain, I don't know if you can brew it for us?"
After speaking, Mo Yan stared at the woman deadly, with a fierce expression on his face, as if he was about to turn his face at any time.
Su Muwan didn't know what Mo Yan was talking about, it would be strange if the tea he asked for could be made.
When the woman heard this, her face was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed and shouted towards the screen in the room.
"Come out, come out! Your brethren are not to be fooled. ”
What?
Is there anyone behind this screen?
Su Muwan hurriedly looked over there, only to hear a sound like the door opening, and then a man in a white robe walked out from behind the screen.
As soon as he saw him, Mo Yu, who was originally sitting honestly, rushed up and hugged him.
"Seventh brother! It turned out to be you, I haven't seen you for several years, and I thought the Lord had sent you some task, but it turned out that you were nesting here in Dingzhou! ”
The man didn't pay attention to Mo Yu hanging on his body, but instead moved his gaze to Su Muwan, who was his only stranger in this room, with a vigilant expression.
"Thirteen, who is this? How dare you bring irrelevant people"
Su Muwan heard Shangguan Yu say before, this Mo Yan's code name is Dark Thirteen, so Mo Yu called him Seventh Brother just now, and I think he should be the one codenamed Dark Seven.
Hearing him call his name, Mo Yan hurriedly introduced Su Muwan to him.
"Seventh brother, this is not someone else, it is the princess of our lord, we are here this time for you to pass on something important to the master of Yumen Pass."
"Princess?"
Dark Seven muttered, I don't know why the dignified princess appeared here, not only was she wearing men's clothes, but there were only Mo Yan and Mo Yu by her side.
He looked at Mo Yu who came down from him again, and saw that he also nodded.
"I don't have time to explain to you more, the princess and our group came out of the lord's barracks, passed by Qingcheng on the way, and found a lot of things, and we need to report to the lord quickly."
When Mo Yan mentioned the matter, his expression became extremely serious, after all, he had accompanied Su Muwan all the way, and the things he encountered in this Qingcheng were really shocking even if he had experienced strong winds and waves.
"My subordinates visited the princess in the dark, I offended a lot just now, and I hope you will forgive me."
After confirming Su Muwan's identity, Dark Seven knelt on one knee and bowed, clasping his fists and worshipping.
Su Muwan made a posture to get up with him, those who don't know are not guilty, he is so cautious, and he should be.
"We encountered an assassination on the way, and we had to change the route, so we lost contact with your master, do you have a way to contact him now?"
Dark Seven nodded, he had just exchanged letters with Shangguan Yu a few days ago and reported some news, so it was naturally not difficult to contact him.
Seeing him nodding, Su Muwan finally put her heart down, took out a letter from her arms, and handed it to him, her face was very solemn.
"This is the letter, and the book in it is a matter of great importance to your master, so you must not let anyone else see it, and you must make sure that it reaches him."
The last person who confessed to the assassin he met in Jinzhou last time was Shangguan Yu's person in the barracks, so the barracks was not safe now, and Su Muwan was afraid that the last letter would fall into the hands of others and cause a big disaster.
Dark Seven took the letter and carefully placed it on his chest.
"Don't worry, princess, I will definitely hand over things to the lord, but since the princess has lost contact with the lord, she must not know about the major events at the border in the past few days."
"What's the big deal?"
Su Muwan only heard from everyone along the way that she had won the battle, and she really didn't hear anything else.
Seeing her confused, Dark Seven hurriedly said, they naturally have their own channels to learn the news as secret guards.
"The lord caught a Du Hu named Guo Feng in the military camp, he worked for Liang Zheng in the court, embezzled a lot of money, in order to cover Liang Zheng, he has taken all the charges on himself, hanged himself!"
Su Muwan was shocked when she heard this, how could she never imagine that behind this Guo Feng was the hussar general Liang Zheng?
