When he returned to Luliuzhuang, it was late, and the heavy snow still hadn't stopped, so Zhao Ta ordered someone to prepare mutton shabu.

In fact, this way of eating has been around since ancient times, but because of the different seasonings used, the taste is also very different.

At this time, the mutton shabu is also cut into small slices, but there is no dipping sauce, but various herbs are added to the soup pot, and then the taste is mixed evenly, and it can be eaten directly.

Of course, you can also put something on the side of the soup pot, but it is mainly fresh and tender, and there is no limit to meat dishes.

The charcoal fire in the room was warm at the moment, only Xiao Min and Fu Jin were on the table, and the eagle eagle was on the ground, its beak half open, staring at the soup pot with good eyes.

The window lattice was slightly opened, and the snow outside reflected the light through, because of the wind and snow, there were no lanterns in the Zhuangzi, but at the moment it was white and hazy, three points brighter than usual.

Zhao Ta picked the chopsticks mutton for the eagle, and after the eagle swallowed it, he still kept his eyes on the soup pot.

Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "You are a bird, you can't eat cooked food." ”

The eagle eagle was dissatisfied, and called out twice.

Xiao Min pursed his lips and smiled: "I often fed it cooked things when I went to Beijing, and I never got sick. ”

Zhao Ta sighed: "You know how much it eats just by looking at its size, and if it is fed with cooked food, how many meat slices do you need to cook?" Whether we want to eat it or not, we all serve it. ”

Fujin said: "It turns out that the second brother is the ...... of this idea."

Zhao Ta "snorted", ate by himself, a few mouthfuls of mutton with a sip of wine, so anxious that the eagle jumped straight on the ground.

Xiao Min and Fu Jin had to take turns feeding it, but after a while, it came to Zhao Ta's side again and screamed.

Zhao Ta looked at it, picked up the wine glass, the eagle eagle hurriedly opened its beak, Zhao Ta poured a glass of wine directly into its mouth, the eagle swallowed it all a few times with its throat rolling, and then excitedly ran to the side to turn in a circle, but after a while it came over to call again.

Zhao Ta touched his chin, then got up, grabbed the base of the eagle's back wings, lifted it up and walked to the door to open it, and then kicked the eagle eagle out......

On the couch, Zhao Ta was lying with his head in his hands, Xiao Min pillowed on his chest, Zhao Ta said: "I seem to have seen the woman in black in the tea shop during the day, but I didn't see the face, and I can't remember who it is." ”

Xiao Min said faintly: "It's because Erlang has seen too many women, so he can't remember, right?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "What does it have to do with that? I just feel that Thirteen Niang is right, it should be that the woman saw me when she opened the store, so she hurriedly turned around and left. ”

Xiao Min pondered: "Isn't it the enemy? ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while: "It's not very similar, if you talk about great hatred, there is only one Mingjiao, but Mingjiao...... Not many people have actually seen me, let alone women. ”

Xiao Min said: "I see that the woman in black is tall, not much better than me, Erlang can think carefully about how many of the women he has seen are so slender, can't he remember it?" ”

Zhao Ta smiled when he heard this: "This is a good way, but how tall is it......

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand from the back of his head and went deep into the covers.

"Ah, Erlang, what are you doing......" Xiao Min's face suddenly turned red.

"How high is the volume?" Zhao Ta said righteously.

"Don't, don't ......"

Early the next morning, Zhao Ta stood in front of the door to watch the snow with his hands in his hands, and the eagle was hiding in the fine house not far away, half-revealing his brain and secretly looking at him.

Zhao Ta had already remembered who the woman in black was, it was Hu Sanniang, although he didn't see the woman's appearance at that time, he was 100% sure that it was Hu Sanniang.

Because Xiao Min was right, there didn't seem to be many such slender people, he just made a slight comparison in his impression, and he affirmed that it was Hu Sanniang.

Why is Kehu Sanniang in Tokyo?

At that time, Song Jiang told him that Hu Sanniang fled with Lin Chong, and then Song Jiang sent a lot of people to chase and kill, but later sent him a message, saying that none of the people who chased and killed Lin Chong and Hu Sanniang came back, and the two were nowhere to be found.

Since he didn't come back, he must have been killed by the two, and since then, he has not heard from the two of them.

Zhao Ta looked puzzled, Lin Chong was not recruited that day, he should have been afraid of Gao Yu's personal revenge, but shouldn't he go away and fly away, how could he still come to Tokyo to be dangerous?

Or Hu Sanniang and Lin Chong were not together and came to Tokyo alone?

But that's not right, what did Hu Sanniang do in Tokyo by herself?

Zhao Ta was puzzled and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

There is not much work in the winter, and at this time, the villagers start to practice martial arts after cleaning the snow on the road.

Ouyang Beiquan was the head of the sect, Luo Jinshui was on the side to correct, Zhao Ta looked at it for a while, then ordered to prepare the horse, and then went to the Broken Jade Building alone.

When he arrived at the Broken Jade Building, he immediately summoned everyone to discuss the matter, and then drew a few images of Hu Sanniang with his own hands, and asked people to look around in the city, especially Zhu Xiaoyi, and asked all the beggars under him to go out and look for Hu Sanniang's traces.

Zhao Ta always felt that something was wrong in his heart, this Hu Sanniang appeared for no reason, if something is abnormal, it is a demon, but the person who is most unlikely to appear in Tokyo appeared, and it appeared in a place like a vegetarian tea shop, there is definitely something in this!

Looking at the situation at the time, Hu Sanniang should have gone to buy hot drinks, which proves that Hu Sanniang should have lived in Tokyo for a period of time and had a good life, otherwise, she grew up in a Zhuangzi, and then fell into the wild girl of Caoliangshan, how could she know about a place like the Red Fish Tea Shop? Still buying it in the snow? This is obviously addictive.

After sending people out, Zhao Ta thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out the joints, so he went back to the palace first.

In the following days, he waited for news, but Hu Sanniang seemed to have disappeared completely, and there was no trace of him, even if the beggars under Zhu Xiaoyi trampled all over Tokyo City, knocking on doors from door to door and pretending to eat, they didn't see Hu Sanniang.

As the New Year approached, there were more and more things, and Zhao Ta couldn't do it, so he had to order a slow investigation, but it was definitely not to give up on this matter, and if he couldn't find it for a day, he had to continue to look for it.

This year's New Year is more lively than ever, and it is celebrated with great fanfare because of the addition of Ding in the house.

And Lu Jiang also played chess with Zhao Ta according to his words, but he didn't even reach the middle game, so he was defeated and signed a deed of sale for the whole year.

There were also more people who came to the Qin Palace's mansion to give gifts than in previous years, and the gifts were more valuable.

Then it was the Shangyuan Festival, and after the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Ta took the outline of the two plays to Zhang Zhenniang and Zhao Yuannu, and asked the two to write the play accordingly.

One of the plays is called "Outwitting Qinglong Mountain", and the other is called "Sea Killing".

"Outwitting Qinglong Mountain" tells the story of the general Chen Qingzhi sitting in Jianghuai during the Liang period of the Southern Dynasty.

At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan revived Buddhism, but some people distorted Buddhism and rebelled in his name, which swept the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiao Yan ordered Chen Qingzhi to quell the rebellion, Chen Qingzhi led his troops to sweep the south and north of the Yangtze River, and finally forced the thief army to Qinglong Mountain, Qinglong Mountain is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and finally Chen Qingzhi used a strange plan to break it and annihilated the thief army in one fell swoop.

Later, he also wrote that Chen Qingzhi opened a warehouse to release grain to relieve the victims, and the people wrote to request some plots of praise for Chen Qingzhi's tree monument.

"Sea Killing" is legendary, probably happened in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, which wrote a folk boy Li Erlang, who has borne a family feud since he was a child, provoked humiliation, raised obscurity, worshiped one of the three heroes of the wind and dust, and learned a tall and strong martial arts, and avenged his parents.

Because his enemy finally fled to the island, Li Erlang crossed the sea to track, and finally broke all kinds of mechanisms on the island and stabbed the enemy, so it was called Sea Kill.

These two plays, Zhang Zhenniang and Zhao Yuannu ended from the Shangyuan Festival, and they were not completely written until March 3.

In many of these places, the two of them couldn't write at all, so they had to catch the pen himself, and then their own opera garden began to rehearse, and the bookstore also carved and printed, and in early April, the opera and the embroidered words came out together.

As soon as the two major dramas of "Outwitting Qinglong Mountain" and "Sea Killing" were staged, they immediately caused a sensation in the city of Tokyo, almost 10,000 people empty the alleys, and the houses and trees outside the theater were all full of people, even if they were farther away, there were people looking into the theater from a high place.

And there are a lot of people who buy books, at this time, many officials in the court know that the opera garden is opened by Zhao Ta, and they are embarrassed to go to see it, so they bought the embroidery book to see, at a glance it is indeed fascinating, and people can't stop, but all of them are not stupid, how can they not see it, this outwitting Qinglong Mountain is actually about the Jiangnan conquest and suppression of Fang La, the so-called Qinglong Mountain is just a fake name for helping the source cave, and Chen Qingzhi is just Zhao Ta comparing himself.

As for the sea killing, what kind of folk boy Li Erlang went to sea to avenge his family and slashed the enemy, it is just a rewrite of Zhao Ta's pursuit and killing of Fang La overseas, but it just changed the original story and reshaped the synopsis.

Although the book is fascinating and the play is good-looking, it has also attracted a lot of discussions, after all, this kind of thing that implies himself into the play, Zhao Ta is not the first time to do it, the previous two kings attacked Luzhou City, and they got it, but no one knew that the opera garden was Zhao Ta's at that time, and the script also came out of Zhao Ta's mansion.

But in the past two or three years, more or less people have known about it, and now when I watch these two plays, I can't help but talk about it.

Zhao Kai was furious in the mansion at this time, he bought both books, and even finished reading them, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel it, and at this moment he threw the book to the ground and roared: "What does he want to do?" What does he want to do? Famous teachers and generals Mo Zijiao, thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes, Chen Qingzhi is so literary and martial arts, how can he be compared, how can he be compared......"

Cai Jing sat on the leisurely chair, listening to Cai Yan read to him the script of outwitting Qinglong Mountain, his two snow-white eyebrows kept trembling, and he muttered in a low voice: "Wolf ambition, wolf ambition!" ”

Gao Yu was in the study, tearing the two books to shreds, then grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it all......

Zhao Ta naturally doesn't care what others say about "Outwitting Qinglong Mountain" and "Sea Killing", he has been going to the opera garden almost every day to watch these two plays recently, pondering the things that are not exciting enough, and polishing and revising.

This morning, he was just about to leave the house and go to the opera garden, when suddenly Bai Ao came from the broken jade building to deliver a letter, and took it and saw that it was Huang Gu's secret report.

Since sending Huang Gu to Hebei, although there are occasional letters sent back, most of them are not painful, what has entered Tian Hu's army, what is the mighty Heshuo heroes, what Qiong Ying admires him to the extreme, and obeys his words......

Zhao Ta doesn't care much about Tian Hu, although Tian Hu occupies a favorable location, but in the future, when he is caught in the middle, it will be difficult for him to protect himself, or fall to one side, or be destroyed, in short, it will not become any climate.

The purpose of letting Huang Gu go to Hebei was to tell him a mother-in-law, and he didn't want him to be like the fake surname Dugu he changed when he went to Jinguo, and he would be lonely for the rest of his life.

However, when he opened the letter, Zhao Tan's face suddenly became ugly, and finally frowned and scolded: "Bastard thing, don't bring Qiong Ying back to get married, you actually worship over there, and let this king go to your house to report the news, you yourself won't write to Old Master Huang, I'm really angry, I'm angry." ”

On the letter, Huang Gu said that he and Qiong Ying had been married in the church at Tian Hu, and his family was also given the official position of a lieutenant of the horse, and then he wanted to tell his family about this matter but didn't dare, so he asked Zhao Ta to go to Huang Shangyan to say.

Zhao Ta's face turned dark and dark, where is this so easy to say, Huang Shang's temper he doesn't know, Huang Jue's incident almost beat the eldest son half to death, and now the younger son is like this again, he became a relative among the thieves alone, and he married Tian Hu's goddaughter, which is worth it, but once he comes back, he will be strange.

Bai Ao saw that Zhao Ta's face was not good, and asked in a low voice: "Childe, is there anything wrong with the landlord?" ”

He naturally knew that the letter was from Huang Gu, and he heard Zhao Ta scolding him for getting married just now, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhao Ta snorted coldly: "Your landlord married a daughter-in-law outside. ”

Bai Ao was stunned and said: "The landlord used to say that there was no woman in his heart, and he could only be a god when he used to use a sword, so why did he go back on his word?" ”

Zhao Ta touched his chin when he heard this, looked at Bai Ao and said, "You don't think the same way, do you?" Seeing that the three of you brothers are not married, weren't you deceived by your landlord with this? ”

"Huh?" Bai Ao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, how can the three subordinates believe such words, the three subordinates just don't want to get married too early, and they definitely won't believe this kind of absurd words." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him for another moment, and then said, "You don't need to go back to the Broken Jade Building, follow me to the opera garden." ”

Bai Ao said yes, seeing Zhao Ta turn around and walk forward, he stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and scolded secretly in his heart, this landlord who killed a thousand knives, we trust you so much, but it turned out to be all a lie, let our brothers practice swordsmanship and beat the singles, but their own family is secretly married outside, no, no, this matter must be told to the eldest brother and third brother, so as to discuss it early, marry a mother-in-law and enter the door, so as not to be laughed at.

Zhao Ta got into the carriage, Bai Ao and Zhou drove together, and went straight to the big opera garden.

After arriving there, he naturally couldn't watch from the outside, so he went up to the side building, and Zhao Ta looked at the stage while drinking tea.

There are three opera troupes in the opera garden, which have been raised, and because the salary given is very good, none of them have ever proposed to leave.

And in the play of outwitting Qinglong Mountain, there are more characters, more than half of the previous surprise attack on Luzhou City, and as for the white hair, it is even more out of reach, so the three teams starred together, just watch you sing on the stage and I appear, which is dazzling and dizzying.

After a while, Zhao Ta took a sip of tea and looked towards the crowd watching the play.

The front of this stage is over, because the reputation of the theater has been played, so it is no longer free, and the end of the scene outside can be seen for a play for a hundred copper coins, and after a while, the heat will come down, and then it will drop to eighty or fifty.

Zhao Ta looked at the crowd, thinking in his heart how to tell Huang Sheng about Huang Gu's marriage, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he stood up with a "Teng".

He saw a tall black figure in the crowd, wearing a hood, but he immediately recognized the woman he had seen in the tea shop during the heavy snowfall last year.

Hu Sanniang! Zhao Ta took a deep breath, this is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

He turned around and walked downstairs, Bai Ao said behind him, "Childe ......"

Zhao Ta said in a deep voice: "The portrait woman you were looking for last year was watching the play outside." ”

Bai Ao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly followed.

Zhao Ta went out of the door of the building and went straight to the crowd, at this time, the next scene had not yet begun, many of the spectators who were left were sitting on the ground to rest, and those who were still standing were people who took care of their clothes and neatness, but there were not many, after all, most of the ordinary people who watched the end of the show were wearing cloth clothes, not ayaluo, and they were not afraid of any dirt and dust.

Zhao Ta had already seen the woman in black at this time, and the woman was also standing, but she was looking east and west, as if she was guarding against something, but the next moment she saw Zhao Ta, and then her body trembled, and she turned around and ran to the back.

Discovered? Zhao Ta's eyes narrowed slightly, his feet sped up, and he chased out of the gate of the theater after a while.

He looked at Hu Sanniang who was panicking in the distance, and did not directly use his footwork to grab him, but fell behind unhurriedly.

Hu Sanniang was so flustered at the moment, she heard from the vegetable farmer who delivered vegetables that there were two big dramas that were very good recently, so she came over to take a look.

Since she saw Zhao Ta when she went to buy drinks at the Red Fish Tea Shop last winter, she didn't dare to go out for several months, and she didn't dare to tell Lin Chong about it, Lin Chong didn't know that she had ever been to Tokyo, let alone that she had seen Zhao Ta.

In fact, she didn't deliberately hide this matter, but heard that the original Zhang family's lady was married to Zhao Ta, lest Lin Chong hate Zhao Ta, and she said that she had seen it in Tokyo, for fear that Lin Chong would be angry.

Originally, Hu Sanniang was a little afraid to come out, she didn't know if Zhao Ta saw her in the tea shop last winter, and she didn't remember her person, but she was always cautious, but she didn't take a step out of the hospital for a few months, and she was so depressed that she couldn't stand it, so she was bold, thinking that no one would be able to see her face when she put on a hat, and then cautiously came over to watch the play.

Which Cheng thought, just as the fold was over and when she was resting, she saw Zhao Ta coming straight to her from a distance, and she was so frightened that she turned around and ran.

She went all the way to the west, not daring to look back, and when the door was close, she suddenly remembered that if Zhao Ta was still following behind, wouldn't she be found by the other party? He gritted his teeth and continued to run.

Zhao Tan didn't know what Hu Sanniang was thinking, but he also had some thoughts of falling behind and touching the other party's foothold, but after chasing after him, he found that Hu Sanniang was already a little panicked, and suddenly knew that his plan had failed.

Hu Sanniang ran around and went straight to the crowded places, but the least prosperous thing in the inner city of Tokyo is the west, quiet and elegant, and it is impossible to get rid of Zhao Ta by relying on the flow of people.

At this time, she ran across a small lake, through the woods next to the small lake, and saw a hill in front of her, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, this mountain is a mountain of earth and stone, artificially piled up, it is the soil and stone waste left over from the construction of Mount Gen, which was pulled here to set off the small lake, which is a scene of Tokyo, and there are not even trees growing on it, only some weeds come out of the cracks in the stones.

This earth and stone mountain is not high and steep, but the distance between the left and right is a little long, Hu Sanniang bit her lip and ran to the mountain.

Zhao Ta saw that there was no one around at the moment, and his steps couldn't help but speed up, just a few breaths to the bottom of the mountain, and then looked at the figure above, and shouted: "Door Sanniang stop!" ”

Door, door Sanniang? Hu Sanniang, who had already run halfway up the mountain, was stunned for a moment, what did the other party call her? Door Sanniang?!

She is really the stupidest woman in the world, at this moment she woke up, the King of Qin of the Great Song Dynasty did not know her true identity, she came to Tokyo to fight, and the name was used by Sanniang.

Thinking of this, Hu Sanniang was relieved, and she stopped running, but stopped and turned around and said, "You, who are you, how do you know my name and surname?" ”

Zhao Ta looked at Hu Sanniang's clumsy cover-up, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, but he also sighed slightly, this is one of the unfortunate women in the world, she was killed by Li Kui and Gu's sister-in-law, and was coerced by Song Jiang to marry her to Wang Ying, although in the end Lin Chong was rescued by the knife, but Lin Chong ......

He asked Zhang Zhenniang about Lin Chong, and Zhang Zhenniang was expecting Ai Ai, but he also guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and couldn't help but be speechless at that time.

At this moment, he looked at Hu Sanniang on the stone mountain and said, "Hasn't Men Sanniang forgotten this king?" At that time, the Liao people were swinging in Tokyo, and Men Sanniang came to sign up, and he had a relationship with this king! ”

Hu Sanniang made a sudden realization on the mountain, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the folk girl thought it was some kind of villain, so she ran away in a panic, and asked His Royal Highness for forgiveness." ”

She said that she had a good fortune on the mountain, and then said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Qin is looking for the people's daughter?" ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "I just saw it for a while, I felt emotional, and I chased it down unconsciously, I remember that Men Sanniang is not from Tokyo, how could she settle in the capital?" ”

Hu Sanniang thought that Zhao Ta didn't know her true identity at this time, so she was no longer nervous, and said casually: "The slave family came to Tokyo to visit relatives, and the relatives were enthusiastic, so they stayed for a while and stayed there." ”

Zhao Ta narrowed his eyes: "I thought that Men Sanniang was married to Tokyo, so wouldn't she have to go back in the future." ”

Hu Sanniang was shocked when she heard the words marry to Tokyo, she was originally afraid that Zhao Ta would find out her identity, and learned from Song Jiangkou that she was married to Lin Chong, seeing that she was in Tokyo at the moment, she suspected that Lin Chong was also there, and she would find trouble with Lin Chong.

According to her thoughts, whether it is Gao Yu or Zhao Ta, they will not let Lin Chong go, Gao Yu does not need to say it, as for Zhao Ta, this is not easy to say.

"No, no, the prince thinks too much." Hu Sanniang hurriedly said: "Aunt Yamanomura of the slave family, how could she marry into the prosperous place of Tokyo, I'm afraid that no one will look down on the slave family." ”

Zhao Tan nodded and said, "Men Sanniang came down to speak." ”

Hu Sanniang hesitated on the mountain for a few breaths, then walked down slowly, and then said, "Is there anything else to do?" If it's okay, then the slave family will go back to a relative's house, and if it's late, I'm afraid it won't be liked. ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said: "Where is there something, where is the family of Men Sanniang's relatives, you might as well send it to you." ”

Hu Sanniang was so frightened when she heard the words that she hurriedly waved her hand: "The slave family thanks the prince, the slave family's relatives are small households, the prince was afraid of being frightened in the past, and the slave family walked by himself." ”

Zhao Ta said: "In this case, Men Sanniang please, by the way, if there is any difficulty in Men Sanniang in the future, you can come to this king." ”

Hu Sanniang hurriedly saluted again: "The slave family thanked the prince, and the slave family said goodbye." ”

After speaking, she turned around and walked in the direction of due south, Zhao Ta stood still, and when Hu Sanniang's figure gradually disappeared, he followed without a trace......

About an hour later, Zhao Ta followed Hu Sanniang in the inner city of Tokyo for almost half a circle, and actually returned to Xicheng, and then watched Hu Sanniang enter a house that looked quite spacious and elegant from a distance.

Zhao Tan couldn't help frowning when he saw this, such a house is not something that ordinary people can live in, even ordinary solid families can't afford it, how could Hu Sanniang live in such a place?

He looked at the house for a long time, and saw that the house was very quiet, and after a moment of contemplation, he turned and quietly left.
