The Flying Kite Folds Its Wings Chapter 8 Sneaking into the River
"Fatty, why did you go for so long, what's going on over there?"
"Oh, nothing, it's just a couple of wild dogs scurrying around."
"Alright, back to camp!"
The leader threw the torch to the fat creep and walked back slowly.
"Lin Xi, do you say he's reliable?"
"I believe in the people around Liu Feng, I usually don't treat them badly, and I see that he is also bullied in the army, so no matter who it is, I believe he will come."
Yanshou lowered his head and smiled, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at him again: "Why do you always look so relaxed?" β
"Because there's nothing left to make me feel depressed."
"If I lose it one day, will you still feel relieved?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "What kind of problem is this? Can I not answer......
"No! I want to hear the answer. β
ββ¦β¦ No. If you lose it, I'll turn the sky upside down, and I'll have to find you. β
Lin Xi didn't see it, and in the dark night, Yanshou's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Hide first, and we'll go out when he comes."
Two hours later......
The moonlight shone through the shade of the trees and sprinkled between the mountains and forests, where the birds were silent, except for the occasional wind that rustled the branches whose leaves were about to fall.
Yanshou endured his sleepiness, but he couldn't stop yawning.
"Princess, if you are really sleepy, you can sleep for a while, and when you will leave, I will call you, we may have to wait a while."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
"Hard-mouthed."
ββ¦β¦ Hey, Lin Xi, look, is someone coming? β
In the open space not far away, Lin Xi saw a black shadow running over, and the black shadow seemed to be still looking around.
"You stay here, I'll take a look."
Lin Xi jumped over the tree with light skills, carefully observed the black shadow, and determined that it was the fat little soldier.
He shouted as low as he could: "General! General Lin! β
Lin Xi jumped down from the tree: "What about this." β
"General, this is Lu Yin, there are still ten taels of silver in this bag, which are used for coiling, and a lot of this money was given to me by General Liu, you can take it."
"This ...... Thanks a lot. Lin Xi gave him a big salute, "By the way, is Liu Feng okay?" β
He suddenly began to hesitate, "General Liu...... He, he ......"
"What's wrong with him?"
He ...... was arrested by Liu Xi and Li Kun and put in prison, saying that they would be escorted to Beijing on a later date. β
ββ¦β¦ I see, go back quickly. β
"General, are you really treasonous?"
"I didn't betray Da Song."
"I believe you, General, and take your leave."
After the soldier left, Lin Xi returned to the place where Yanshou was hiding, "Princess, let's go." β
"You seem to ...... My face is not very good. β
Lin Xi barely squeezed out a smile, "In the middle of the night, can you still see that my face is not very good?" β
"I can see your face."
"I'm fine. Let's go first, to the south is Zhending, let's find a carriage there to go to the river. β
Yanshou nodded obediently, and followed Lin Xi to Zhending.
Lin Xi is extremely familiar with the border, whether it is a mountain road or an official road, Lin Xi can always find a road that is unimpeded.
An hour later, the sky gradually brightened, and Lin Xi came to Zhending with his longevity.
Lin Xi hired a carriage outside Zhending City and went to Hejian Mansion.
"I see you haven't spoken since you got into the carriage, is there something on your mind?"
Liu Feng ...... The night he rescued me, I was caught on my way back to the camp......"
"Huh? No wonder you've been preoccupied with ......"
"When I was in trouble, Liu Feng was the first to think about saving me, and he risked his life to bring it out to me, and now I ......"
"As long as he's alive, we'll have a chance to get him out, won't we?"
"Presumably, they will temporarily leave Liu Feng's life to ask about my whereabouts. I hope he still can... Alive......"
"Jiren has his own blessing, Lin Xi, you too, I believe he is too."
"Well, I believe it too."
At night, the two of them relied on the road guide and successfully infiltrated Hejian Mansion.
In the noisy inn, the inconspicuous two people sat against the wall, and there were two bowls of noodles on the table.
"Hejian Mansion is so lively, it's not like a border."
Lin Xi looked around, "Look at the people around, many people don't look like ordinary people, I think, someone should have spread the wind about the tomb of Wei Qingyuan." β
"You're talking about Guanyin? But for what? β
"It may be her, for her, the more chaotic the situation in Hejian Province, the better, and the more chaotic the border of the Song Dynasty, the more beneficial it will be to the Liao people."
"That'...... The news that we are here, Guanyin also knows? β
Not necessarily, but she'll know sooner or later. Okay, I'll go to the shopkeeper to open two rooms first, and I'll go back after eating in a while, and talk as little as possible. β
"Hmm."
After the two of them returned to their rooms, Lin Xi couldn't sit still, and always felt a little flustered.
"Knock knock." A soft knock suddenly came to mind at the door.
"Princess? Yes...... Is there something wrong? β
"Lin Xi, there's just a candle in that room, I'm ...... I'm scared ......."
"That'...... Then I'm not going to go anymore...... Asking for some candles for you? β
"Can I ...... I'm going to stay with you for one night......"
"This ......" Lin Xi's face turned red, swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be calm: "Princess...... This, you are alone with me, this ...... It's not like ......."
"Just this time, I won't say it...... I am...... Really a little scared......"
"That'...... Well, princess, please come in ......"
Yanshou walked in to calm down, but saw that Lin Xi hadn't even put the quilt down yet, and was stacked on the bed.
"You...... You didn't sleep either. β
"Yes, I don't even dare to sleep in my own country, and I'm really a joke. Princess, sleep while I keep watch over you. β
"I'll sit with you, too."
"Uh...... Thank you, princess......"
"How many years have you been at the border?"
"I've been at the border since I was twelve, and it's been almost eight years."
"Twelve years old camped in the mountains? Isn't there danger in the mountains? β
"Of course it will, there is no shortage of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the depths of the mountains and forests, and the Liao people often disturb the border, so the danger is certain."
"You've been at the border for eight years, really, never thought of leaving?"
ββ¦β¦ Leave...... Where can I go? My parents have died a long time ago, and my teacher brought me up, and for me the border is my home, will you leave your home? β
"Whew...... Whew......"
Lin Xi said slowly, but he heard the sound of snorting behind him, and Yanshou actually fell asleep on the table.
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile, put his coat on Yanshou's body, combed the broken hair on her forehead, and then sat quietly next to her.
"If you weren't a little princess, if you weren't a Liao......" Lin Xi thought of this and couldn't help but bow his head, "It's a pity that there is no if, alas......"
The next day, Lin Xi pretended to be a businessman, and Yanshou dressed up as his entourage, and the two went to a washer, today is a storytelling day, so there are a lot of small people in the market and people in the rivers and lakes gathered here early in the morning.
"You actually asked me to pretend to be an entourage...... Stinky Lin Xi ...... "Yanshou took advantage of Lin Xi to buy a ticket, and ran to the side to sulk."
"What's wrong? Angry? I didn't really let you serve me as a retinue. I'll buy you something in the evening, don't be angry. β
"Really?" Yelu Yanshou, whose eyes lit up when he heard that he was shopping, was overjoyed, and he nodded hurriedly.
"So, why are you here?"
"I heard that the storyteller here is quite capable, saying that he knows 500 years and knows 500 years, so I just came to see if it was true or not. By the way, did you take the money? β
"You didn't bring it?"
Lin Xi touched his neck in embarrassment: "I...... I forgot. β
"You, stupid, I brought it." Yanshou took out two pieces of silver from his sleeve pocket, and said, "You have no money and you said to buy me something, slap your swollen face and make you fat." β
"I'll go back to the inn in the evening to get it, now I'll borrow your use first, we can't get in if we don't buy a ticket......" Yan Shou just wanted to punch Lin Xi in front of him, but he ran very fast, but he pounced on the punch when he passed, Yan Shou smiled helplessly, and hurriedly chased after him.
The two walked into the hook column, and the storyteller was telling the story of the Anshi Rebellion of the previous dynasty on the stage, and did not forget to blow a wave of how the current saint is how to be sacred. The corners of Lin Xi's mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer, in his opinion, if he could use a surrender faction like Liu Xi, and the imperial court that had been defeated repeatedly, where could he go to Shengming?
After the storyteller finished speaking, the two met the storyteller behind the stage.
"Junior Lin Xi, I've seen Mr."
The storyteller returned the salute, "Is there anything wrong with the two officials?" β
"Oh, I'm here to find Mr. today, I heard that Mr. knows the past and the present, knows 500 years, knows 500 years, and today the younger generation is here to ask for advice."
"Of course, no problem, but if you want to hear it, please buy a ticket."
Lin Xi took out a silver ingot: "Two taels of silver, it's not a tribute." β
"Cheerfulβplease be seated."
"Sir is not only able to speak, but also does a good business."
"Hehe, pass the prize. I wonder what you want to hear? As long as I know, I will tell you the truth. β
"I want to know, what happened when the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the country?"
"This story is not close."
"Do you know, sir?"
"Of course. You should know a little about the Northern Wei Dynasty - the Northern Wei Dynasty was originally established by the Xianbei Tuoba clan in the north after unifying the north, and later, Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong changed the surname of Tuoba to Yuan, and since then, the Xianbei people with the surname Tuoba have changed their surname to Yuan. β
"Yes, I know that. Yuan Yan, the last prime minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was a member of the original Tuoba clan. Then, after the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the country, what was the result of this Yuan Yan? β
"The city of Luoyang was broken, and Yuan Yan committed suicide by jumping into the river, but he had already settled his family and hid it, the purpose was to protect a treasure, and Yuan Yan pinned his hopes on his descendants, hoping that they could one day revive the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"Treasure?"
"Yuan Yan wrote down the location of the treasure in a book and handed it to his family, and it has been passed on to the present, if I remember correctly, the nearest person should be Wei Qingyuan. Because the Northern and Southern Dynasties have long passed, these people don't have to hide everywhere, and these things have become rumors among the people. β
"I heard that when Wei Qingyuan died, he asked his family to put the "Tale of the Jade City" with a hidden treasure location in his mausoleum?"
"You're right, but Wei Qingyuan built seven tombs for herself during her lifetime, and almost no one knows where she is buried, let alone the book "Tales of the Jade City".
"Hasn't anyone gone in and looked for it?"
"There are a lot of people who come here to find it, but they are all thunder and rain, and the seven doubtful tombs are completely different ambushes, but there is only one Yucheng record: how to get in, which doubtful tomb the book is in, what is in the mausoleum, and how to get out of the mausoleum, these are all problems, basically none of the people who dare to gamble come out alive, and the rest of the people dare not gamble."
"Oh? Did you know? β
"The guest officer is really good at laughing, if I knew, would I still be talking here? Ha ha...... All I know is that the nearest grave to Hejian Mansion is less than five miles east of the city. β
"Okay, thank you, sir, I'm leaving."
