Chapter 39: Boiling Beans and Burning Basket (2)



"Hehe, then get some vegetarian porridge and wild vegetables for the masters, and go." Zhu Wenyu smiled.

"Order!" Zhou Zaixing clenched his fists and turned away.

"Brother Wen Yu, you are so majestic." Seeing that there was no one next to Zhu Wenyu, Zhang Mingzhao secretly ran over, beckoned, and whispered in Zhu Wenyu's ear.

Zhu Wenyu smiled dumbly.

"Wen Yu, Master Abbot asked you to come over for a moment." Tang Yanxiong beckoned to the side.

"Hey, it's coming." This is the future old man, how dare Zhu Wenyu slack off, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Castle master, master abbot, what's the matter?" ”

"Master, say it." Tang Yanxiong said to Master Mu Yun.

"Amitabha, let's say it to the castle master, Lao Na listens." Muyun Heshi said.

"What's the matter? Guru? Zhu Wenyu saw that the two of them were mysterious and secretive, and he didn't know why.

"It's fine." Tang Yanxiong agreed, turned around and said, "Wen Yu, regarding our escape from the predicament, Master Abbot and I both suspect that it has something to do with one person. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"The hall master of Jiangxi Thunderbolt Hall, 'thunder is silent' thunder is silent." Tang Yanxiong said.

"Huh? How could it be him? Isn't he from the Central Plains martial arts? Zhu Wenyu was surprised.

"Master Abbot and I also guessed that once we came to Jiangxi Perak Hall to be famous for gunpowder, just like the Tang Gate and hidden weapon drugs, the use of gunpowder is superb, and only he can place gunpowder in the stone wall to blast the stone wall open, but he can control it just right, so as not to cause the rock to collapse. Second, in the tunnel of Tianyi Tower, I also noticed that the lamps on the stone walls are somewhat similar to the 'Millennium Lantern' of Perak Hall. ”

"Amitabha, according to Lao Na's guess, that lamp may indeed be a 'thousand-year-old lamp', Amitabha." Mu Yun whispered again.

"Also, we were almost killed in the tunnel of Tianyi Tower, and we also used gunpowder, at that time I suspected that Lei Wusheng had something to do with the Tianyi Alliance, as for what it had to do with it, I'm afraid no one knows."

"What does the lord mean? ......" Zhu Wenyu didn't know what Tang Yanxiong meant by this.

"I discussed with Master Abbot, no matter what the thunder silent has to do with the Tianyi Alliance, the Tianyi Alliance has disappeared, and it is difficult to cause trouble. And Jiangxi Thunderbolt Hall has always been a famous and decent martial arts in the Central Plains for generations, and the reputation of Lei Silent in the rivers and lakes is also acceptable, although he is withdrawn, but he is also a person who distinguishes between right and wrong, not an evil person, and I am afraid that there are other twists and turns when mixed with the Tianyi Alliance. This time, it is very likely that he will help us get out of trouble, and it is considered to be due to the grace of the Central Plains Martial Arts, so it is not appropriate to investigate the secret between him and the Tianyi Alliance, so we will pretend not to know about it. Tang Yanxiong said.

"I see, the castle lord means not to delve into this matter?"

"Not only don't go to the bottom of the investigation, but Wen Yu, you still have to take responsibility for this matter, just say that the officers and soldiers you sent in advance blew up the cave and helped everyone get out of trouble, so as not to let the disciples of various factions be suspicious and make unnecessary trouble in the martial arts. The abbot also wants to do the same, so he asks you to come and speak alone. We'll also say hello to the heads of the factions secretly. ”

"Hehe, yes, Wen Yu obeys, I'll make this lie true." Zhu Wenyu smiled.

"Well, that's good. It's been a busy day, and everyone is tired, Wen Yu, you can get busy with your going first, and the abbot master and I will rest. Tang Yanxiong smiled and raised his hand.

"Hehe, yes, castle master, then I'll go, master." Zhu Wenyu arched his hand at Master Muyun.

"Amitabha." Mu Yun called out and closed his eyes cross-legged.

In the official army led by Zhou Zaixing, the rest of the things are left to them to do, Zhu Wenyu and others are all people in the martial arts, as long as they take a short rest, plus a full meal, they will be in good spirits again. Because there was nothing else to do, he packed up and set off along the road out of the Yangtze River and turned back to Chongqing Mansion.

When I walked to the mouth of Tianyi Valley, I looked back and saw the words "the Han family and Kyushu are unified, and the world is called a minister in all directions", everyone's mood is very complicated, this trip to Tianyi Valley, all factions have good hands killed and injured, it can be said that the loss is not small, and the head of Huashan Zhu Weifeng was seriously injured, and the head of Wudang Qingfeng Dao died tragically, which made the two factions hurt their vitality, but in the end they found that the other party was actually to avenge the old feud to the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang 20 years ago, which implicated Chen Youliang's Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty dispute, who is right and wrong, and who can say clearly?

Tang Yanxiong shook his head and sighed slightly.

As soon as he returned to Chongqing Mansion, Sun Changxu, the Sichuan envoy who had already learned the news, had already been waiting in the pavilion at Chaotianmen Wharf, and when he saw Zhu Wenyu and the others' boats approaching from a distance, they all poured out, and there were officers and soldiers dressed in soldier costumes everywhere.

Lao Cui personally took charge of the penny, and the boat of Zhu Wenyu and Master Mu Yun and others leaned steadily towards the dock, and before he could dock, Zhu Wenyu stood on the bow of the boat and could see it clearly, there were two people standing on the dock wearing the three-grade civil official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, one was the old acquaintance Sun Changxu, the Sichuan envoy, and the other was actually Wei Zhengxing, the Sichuan political envoy who had met in Chengdu!

Zhu Wenyu suddenly, he was still a little strange, Sun Changxu came to Chongqing he knew, he originally wrote a letter to call him, but with his relationship with the old Sun Tou, there was really no need to come to the dock to pick him up with such fanfare, Sun Changxu naturally knew that Zhu Wenyu didn't like these, and Sun Changxu himself was not the kind of person who disturbed the people in order to welcome the constitution. Today, such a mobilization of the army drove all the people at the wharf away, and sent hundreds of soldiers to guard it, which was naturally the handiwork of Wei Zhengxing, the political envoy of Sichuan.

Zhu Wenyu didn't wait for the boat to dock, kicked under his feet, flew up, swept more than a foot, landed on the dock, and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, Lord Sun, it's so lively, why do you have such a big show?" Why? ”

"Deputy Commander of Jinyiwei makes Zhu Wenyu take the order!" Wei Zhengxing suddenly shouted solemnly.

"Divine decree?" Zhu Wenyu was taken aback. Although he has been in the palace for many years, he has seen Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, almost every day, and later he has been a "Qin Cha" for a few years, and the word "Holy Decree" has come out with calluses, but he went to Tianyi Valley and killed the Tianyi League. It's just that an accident is an accident, and he still has to receive the holy decree, so he naturally knelt down on the spot.

Wei Zhengxing took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, carefully unfolded it slowly, and recited aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The deputy commander of Jinyi Wei made Zhu Wenyu loyal to the country, shared his worries for me, and did his best to exterminate the Tianyi League bandits in one fell swoop. Zhu Wenyu immediately returned to Beijing to resume his life, waiting for the imperial court to reward him. The matter of local pacification was properly handled by Wei Zhengxing, the political envoy of Sichuan, and Sun Changxu, the envoy of the procuratorate. Chin!"

Sun Changxu knew that Wei Zhengxing had brought the holy decree to be read, but he didn't expect that the holy decree actually mentioned himself, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step, turned around and knelt side by side with Zhu Wenyu, and when he heard the word "Qin this", he kowtowed with Zhu Wenyu and shouted: "Minister Sun Changxu takes the order!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Fang just stood up.

Zhu Wenyu just stood up and took the holy decree handed over by Wei Zhengxing's hands, but saw Wei Zhengxing suddenly knelt on the ground again, bowed to the ground and said loudly: "The official Sichuan political envoy Wei Zhengxing welcomes Lord Qincha to return victoriously to suppress the bandits!"

Wei Zhengxing's move made Sun Changxu, who had just stood up, hurriedly bow down to Zhu Wenyu again, but it happened suddenly, and it was too late to say anything like "Xiaguan Sun Changxu greets", so he simply stopped talking, and he just couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

"Yo, Lord Wei, Lord Sun, what are you doing here? Zhu can't afford it, please get up, please get up. Zhu Wenyu hurriedly reached out to help. For Zhu Wenyu's temperament, he really doesn't like this set of extremely cumbersome officialdom etiquette, but he also knows that this is the old habit of court officials.

Mu Yun and the others were still standing on the boat, and the people on the boat were all martial artists. Seeing that Zhu Weisun and the three of them on the dock kept kneeling down and saluting, and read out some holy decrees in public, they naturally refused to flow into this kind of troubled water of the imperial court, and refused to get off the boat without a sound, just looking at it from afar, lest they avoid it, how could they jump ashore by themselves?

Zhu Wenyu is young after all, although he has seen a lot of officialdom scenes, but some taboos are still not very clear, after greeting Wei Zhengxing and Sun Changxu, he turned around and raised his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to the two adults, these are the master masters of my Central Plains martial arts family, this time I went to Tianyi Valley, if it weren't for them to sit in the formation, the result would be really hard to say." As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Master Abbot, Brother Bai, everyone should get off the boat." ”

Seeing Zhu Wenyu greeting Zhu Wenyu like this, Mu Yun, Tang Yanxiong, Bai Yuwei and others had no choice but to get off the boat in turn, walked to Zhu Wenyu and the others, and bowed to Wei and Sun, but they were still silent, only Master Mu Yun recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha." ”
