The bamboo is deep and the trees are densely chosen, and there is sometimes a slight coolness that is not wind.

The two rode side by side, walking leisurely on the official road.

Liang of the Mocking Wind Wei was an iron-faced man along the way, and he thought that he was the most talkative in the Mocking Wind Guard, and was even jokingly called the "tongue chewing woman" by a group of brothers under his hands. But when he met the white-haired and white-bearded middle-aged man next to him, who was called the "medical saint", Rao had a headache.

There are too many reasons for his question.

"Kuang Shentong, you shouldn't have a problem calling me that."

Sun Zhongjing held the reins in one hand, fanned himself with the hat in the other, and kept complaining in his mouth.

"Oh, you said that your emperor invited me to go back and didn't know to let you get a carriage over, although I don't want to have any expensive carriages such as pear blossom wood and Qiantang wood, but I can also get a reasonable mahogany carriage, this day is just hot to death."

"Kuang Shentong, this time the emperor is so anxious, and he even did not hesitate to send a mocking wind guard to come to me in person, what's the matter? Is something going on? ”

"Kuang Shentong, on such a hot day, are you wrapping yourself tightly and not hot? Could it be that there is ice in the lining? ”

"Kuang Shentong, you tell me, how is the cultivation of Lord Xue in your Liang Capital? It is rumored that he was already a master of the Upper Three Realms ten years ago? ”

"Participate in the same ......"

At first, Kuang Yi was willing to talk to him, but he didn't think that since Sun Zhongjing left Jiangnan Road, it was like a flood gate, gushing endlessly, nearly a hundred miles away, and he was stunned and kept talking.

"Sun Zhongjing! Mr. Sun! Can't you just have a moment to stop? I originally thought that a master of the three realms like you must have his own way of doing things, not to mention whether he is not smiling, no matter how bad it is, it is like gold, where is there a little bit of the master style shown in Jiangnan Villa that day? ”

In the end, Kuang Yi didn't know how to speak, and Sun Zhongjing on the side also quieted down, touching his chin and thinking.

When Kuang Yi saw him like this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I never thought that after walking a mile, Sun Zhongjing's voice sounded in Kuang Yi's ears again.

"Kuang Shentong, why am I now the supervisor of the Qin Heavenly Prison? The old man surnamed Feng has been in charge of the Si Tianjian for nearly a jiazi, and your Emperor His Majesty has asked his opinion? ”

Seeing that Kuang Yi didn't answer, Sun Zhongjing pulled the carriage, changed his previous playful expression, and said solemnly:

"Ask you not to say anything, is it true that Sun Zhongjing is such a good talker? If your emperor plots against that heavenly palace, I advise you to die that heart, and you won't be able to enter that city without Zun Shengyu. ”

Kuang Yi also stopped, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke:

"Five years ago, you changed the heart for Your Majesty, and the time limit has expired."

"This ...... No, a heart can last at least 10 to 15 years. ”

Sun Zhongjing's face was full of doubts, one of the most important reasons why the new Kandi retreated to the Qiankun Hall behind the scenes was because of his deteriorating body.

"Although the court is in the control of Empress Sun on the surface, all the folds and reviews are still done by His Majesty himself, even if it is stopped by the scholars of the four halls of the cabinet, there are still nearly 100 twists and turns sent to the Qiankun Hall every day, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes have always been His Majesty's heart disease, so ......"

Sun Zhongjing nodded, although he didn't like the new Kangdi Li Dai very much, but I have to say that he was a good emperor, at least under his governance, the people were able to have enough food and clothing, and they would not rebel because of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which was not easy for a dynasty that lasted for seven hundred years.

"My Sun Zhongjing adheres to the tenet of "there is no class to save me", as long as someone comes to me for medical advice, I am obligated to go! ”

"Mr. Sun is high-minded, and the official is obedient."

With a fist and a pull on the reins, the two horses galloped away and went to the best city in the world, Chang'an City.

Gangnam Road, Lingju City, Fuling Village.

A man walked out of the weeds on the side of the road, smiling awkwardly and scratching his head.

Wei Zigeng frowned, looking at his appearance, trying to recall something in his mind.

"Ji Hanlin? Scholar? What are you doing here? ”

Regarding his question, a chubby scholar named Ji Hanlin sneered and said:

"I can't be a real reader, I usually just like to read and write, and I can only be regarded as half a reader. Originally, I ate a lot of sudden wind and rain in the official road inn, but I didn't think about it, but a burst of thunder sounded in my ears, and I rushed here looking for the thunder. ”

Looking at the parchment booklet in his hand, Xu Yue came to him and asked:

"What is this?"

Ji Hanlin smiled and stretched out the parchment booklet that he regarded as a treasure, and said with some embarrassment:

"This is what I have seen and heard along the way, and I have recorded him in this travelogue of "Four Seasons Evergreen".

Xu Yue looked at Wei Zigeng and asked for advice, and the latter was the head, signaling that he had no problem.

Taking the booklet, Xu Yue turned the first page, only to see four lines of poetry written on the scarlet page:

"The withered leaves are sent in the autumn wind, and the flowers are red in the spring rain.

Visitors from other places in the rivers and lakes, hating goodbye is difficult to meet. ”

Wei Zigeng took a closer look at the content, and couldn't help but be attracted by the content.

This booklet writes about the humanistic scenes of the places where the scholar walked, including Jiangnan Road, Longguan Road, Jiannan Road and other more than ten places, there are grievances and grievances in the rivers and lakes, there are the hustle and bustle of the small people in the market, and the warmth and comfort of the tea garden and farmhouse, and even the fight just now has been vividly depicted by him.

"You've been to all of these places?"

"Of course!"

Ji Hanlin replied very affirmatively, and there was even a little pride in his tone.

"Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles. If our generation of scholars only stick to the principles in the books of the sages, they will definitely be dragged down by the books, and they will follow the example of the sage of Wen and travel around the world, and they have traveled since the age of ten, and now they have traveled two thousand miles. ”

Maybe he had never said such a bold statement to anyone else, but when he finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed.

Xu Yue heard the words of the scholar in front of him, his eyes were full of admiration, he patted Ji Hanlin and handed him back the parchment booklet.

Ji Hanlin took the booklet and asked timidly:

"I just watched you fight on the sidelines, and I couldn't help but record it, don't be surprised by the two young heroes."

Xu Yue laughed when he heard this, and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, remember to write me handsome and chic in your travelogue, by the way, my name is Xu Yue."

As he spoke, he introduced the people around him to Ji Hanlin.

"This young man's name is Wei Zigeng, and behind him is Chenghuang Niangniang, the eldest lady of Pinghu Villa, Cheng Qing."

Wei Zigeng couldn't help but laugh, and even felt a little apprehensive in his heart. He has liked this kind of travelogue since he was a child, and he is very yearning for the heroes in it, and he can't help but think:

"It would be nice if one day I could be one of them."

The dreams of teenagers are often buried deep in these books.

A moment later, Wei Zigeng wanted to invite this interesting scholar to drink with him, but he politely refused.

"The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, goodbye to the rivers and lakes!"

The two sides clasped their fists, saluted, and dispersed.

Looking at the backs of Wei Zigeng and Xu Yue, Ji Hanlin yearned, a sparrow flew over and squatted on his shoulder, and the reader turned his head to take a look.

"Sparrows, sparrows, how romantic the heroes of the rivers and lakes are, where do you say they came from?"

As if answering his question, the sparrow on his shoulder didn't know what to say, Ji Hanlin muttered, and looked at the "Four Seasons Evergreen" in his hand.

"Jianghu? From the rivers and lakes? So it is, the rivers and lakes are magnificent, where are the rivers and lakes, among which the waves are rolling, and they can't be confined to one person and one city, so naturally there are more Xu Yue and Wei Zigeng. ”

Thinking of this, Ji Hanlin squatted down, erased the words written in the parchment, and re-wrote six words.

"He's from the rivers and lakes."

The breeze blew through the thousand mountains, the sparrows chirped, and looking at the changed names, the young man was satisfied to put away the parchment booklet.

As the sun set, Cheng Qing lay on Wei Zigeng's back, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her heroic face, elongated their figures, and she smiled contentedly in a coma.

At the gate of Pinghu Villa, the little boy Cheng Xi squatted next to the stone lion, bored with a weed, slapped the stone lion twice from time to time, and lay on the top of the stone lion's head from time to time.

Seeing that a few people would come, Cheng Xi jumped down from the top of the stone lion's head excitedly, just about to have a seizure, seeing the desolate scene of a few people and Cheng Qing behind Wei Zigeng, the anger suddenly disappeared.

"What's wrong with you? What's going on with my sister? ”

Without waiting for Wei Zigeng to speak, Zhang Ruojing on the side said:

"Miss Cheng just fainted from her strength, and she is fine."

"Who is this?"

Cheng Xi pointed at Zhang Ruojing, and then looked at Wei Zigeng, who nodded and said:

"Let's talk about it first."

After entering the mansion, Zhang Ruojing handed over the medicine bag he brought to Cheng Xi, and after telling him the method of decoction, he quickly arranged for his subordinates to start decoction.

Wei Zigeng and Cheng Xi said:

"This is the apprentice entrusted by Mr. Sun."

Zhang Ruojing bent down very politely and saluted.

The Liangqiu brothers and sisters knew that the two had returned home and were both seriously injured, so they immediately rushed over.

After seeing the large pool of blood on Xu Yue's chest, Liang Qiu's whole heart couldn't help but tremble, but when he saw Xu Yue again, he was the same as no one, and his heart finally fell to the ground.

The news of the collapse of Jiangnan Villa soon spread throughout Jiangnan Province, and many of its industrial businesses, including silk, porcelain, and tea, which involved a country's important industries, were rightfully placed under the name of Pinghu Villa, while the rest of the waterway trade was distributed by Old Man Cheng to his sixteen chain docks, which were jointly maintained by them.

However, after three days of recuperation, Cheng Qing was able to get out of bed and walk quickly, although his face was still very pale, but he had recovered quite well compared to before.

On this day, the porter hurriedly came to report.

"There is an adult outside the door who calls himself Xuanjiawei Liu Weixuan, and he bluntly said that he came here to find Wei Zigeng, the shopkeeper of the Jianghu Inn."

Wei Zigeng smiled at Xu Yue when he heard this, and the latter touched his waist with a reluctant face.

When he came to the main hall, Liu Weixuan had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Wei Zigeng, Liu Weixuan smiled and nodded.

In his early years, he followed Yan Wang Jicheng around, and was the captain of his cavalry army, and his father Wei Zigeng, Wei Xian, the commander of the extravagant wolf army in the army in the past, also had a good robe feeling.

"Nephew Wei Xian, when I saw you in Yuzhou City that day, I knew that you would one day set foot on the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect that we would meet again in Jiangnan Road today."

For the person in front of him, Wei Zigeng was not impressed, that day it was the person in front of him who took away Xia Qingming's three souls, but Xia Qingming turned into the commander of the imperial court fish dragon guard Xia Qiudong appeared in front of him, and gave him a fatal blow behind him.

Although he couldn't talk about disgust, he wanted to ask the person in front of him who called him "good nephew", even if he knew about it, he might not get an answer.

Wei Zigeng stretched out his hand and motioned for Xu Yue to hand over the Jiangshan seal to him, although the latter was reluctant, he still took it out, and then threw it to Liu Weixuan, the calmer in front of him.

After taking the seal of the country, Liu Weixuan glanced at it twice, took it into his arms, and then Wei Zigeng asked out loud:

"Doesn't Lord Liu have anything to say?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and even the three Cheng family sisters and brothers on the side could feel the coldness in the air.

Wei Zigeng took the sword out of the sheath three inches in his hand, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him coldly, and was on guard, not daring to be careless.

On the other hand, Liu Weixuan was calm and composed, but somehow, Wei Zigeng actually saw a look of affirmation in his eyes.

After a long time, Liu Weixuan said:

"Virtuous nephew, whether you believe it or not, I don't know about Xia Qingming, and I have already received a reply from His Majesty after the news of Yuzhou City was transmitted to the Qiankun Palace in the capital that day."

"What reply?"

"Kill Xia Qingming and take the three souls."

Wei Zigeng frowned slightly, he didn't think about the truth of Liu Weixuan's words, he knew that Liu Weixuan would definitely not lie to him.

"At that time, the new Kandi had already decided to use Xia Qingming's three souls to do some unsightly deeds, on the one hand, it was to give Wei Xian enough face, and on the other hand, the imperial court would have one more sword cultivator who was at least in the Yuheng realm?"

Liu Weixuan didn't speak, he couldn't speak, he was just silent, and his silence often represented affirmation.

After a long time, Wei Zigeng's tone changed and said:

"Lord Liu, the imperial court knows that the 13 officials of Jiangnan Province and the Shangsheng Sect abducted and trafficked women, women and children, and collected and broken branches for their sexual pleasure, and I don't know how the imperial court should deal with it."

Liu Weixuan had long known that Wei Zigeng would have this question, in his early years in the capital, he had heard that the young shopkeeper of the Jianghu Inn helped the child to help the abductor Yan Jiu of the Fufa law, and who was the wealth of Yuezhou, after the fact, Wu Nan, the prefect of Yuezhou, was beheaded, and the whole family was exiled to the border of Rongzhou.

There are even rumors in the market that because He Rencai was sought revenge by the enemy, all seven members of the family were killed, and even the infant baby was never spared.

I don't dare to say whether this matter is related to the young shopkeeper in front of him, but this young man has always adhered to a nirvana attitude towards human abduction.

Thinking of this, Liu Weixuan raised his head and laughed and said:

"Don't worry about this matter, my Xuanjiawei supervises hundreds of officials, and Your Majesty asked this official to come this time to investigate this matter thoroughly, and it will definitely give Jiangnan Province a peace."

No matter what the result was, just seeing that the Xuanjia Wei Zhenfu Shi of the Dynasty was so patient in answering questions for grass people like them, giving them enough face, Wei Zigeng and Xu Yue also hugged their fists and respectfully bowed to their juniors.

Liu Weixuan smiled and accepted it calmly, he saw the person he wanted to see, took what he wanted to take, he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Under the leadership of the servants, he walked through the corridor, and when he arrived at the front yard, Liu Weixuan saw two people, it was the old man Cheng of Pinghu Villa and the drunkard Xu who was drinking with his head up.

Liu Weixuan came to the two of them and saluted with fists, Cheng Kongfang smiled and returned the salute, but the drunkard Xu didn't even look at him.

"Master Cheng, Jiangnan Villa has fallen, I'm afraid Pinghu Villa will become a veritable soil emperor in Jiangnan."

Although Liu Weixuan was smiling when he spoke, there was indeed a big pit in his words, waiting for Cheng Kongfang to jump into it.

Cheng Kongfang was not annoyed, nor did he answer Liu Weixuan's words, but said lightly:

"Lord Liu, do you want to move to the study and drink a cup of flower tea? Recently, the flower tea sent by Yuzhou City, the tea fragrance is pleasant, and the person who sent the tea said that this tea is a good product for prolonging life. ”

Liu Weixuan looked puzzled and asked with interest:

"Oh? When did Yuzhou produce flower tea? Besides, when it comes to flower tea, how can it be said to prolong life? ”

Cheng Kongfang smiled and said:

"Our Pinghu Villa sends monthly fruits and vegetables and silk to Yuyulou through the waterway, and this flower tea is just a gift from Yuyulou."

Liu Weixuan couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and secretly said in his heart:

"When did Pinghu Villa get in touch with Yuyulou? By the way, Wei Xian's youngest daughter is the personal disciple of Yuyulou Taixuan Zhenjun, and Wei Zigeng is ...... At this time, I have to report to Your Majesty, and I need to make a decision on the matter of Zunsheng Jade in Pinghu Villa. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Weixuan hugged his fists, and then said "there is something urgent to deal with" and left.

Today is really a very busy day, the front foot has just sent away Liu Weixuan, and the back foot doorman has come to report again, but the people who came surprised several people.

"Master Fan of the Scope of the Strategy? What is the matter with him? ”

Xu Yue said disdainfully:

"You must know that Xuanjiawei Zhenfu Shi is here, and he is here to turn in?"

When I came to the main hall, I saw that I was wearing a dark cyan robe, and my hands were in the hall at the moment.

Seeing Wei Zigeng, he stepped forward in two steps and said with a smile:

"You are Wei Zigeng and Wei Shao's shopkeeper, I am the master of the Children's Gangnam Dao General Helmsman Hall."

The Cheng family sisters and brothers didn't know what to do, and Wei Zigeng and Xu Yue were stunned.
