Huang Xie ordered two first-class meals, and the retainer ordered them to go down, and soon, two servants from the kitchen came up with two food tables and placed them in front of the two seats. The two still ate together, relying on each other, under the intoxication of wine and food, Mang Mao said a lot, almost to vent the grievances suffered in the past few days. Huang Xie comforted him while pulling out many inside stories about the Wei political arena from his mouth.

Sending Mang Mao away, Huang Xie calmed down and digested the results of the conversation with Mang Mao. It was not in the plan to meet Mangmao in Yinyang, how could Mangmao be so coincidental in Yinyang? How did Mang Mao know that he was going to the hidden sun? How did he accurately find the reverse brigade and let people report it?

He called a businessman who often ran Zheng Guo and asked him to introduce what he saw along the way from Chen to Zheng. The merchant told him that if goods were to be transported from Chen to Zheng, they would usually take the waterway: go up the chasm, turn to Weishui, and go directly to Zhengguo; Dry roads are rare. If you take a dry road, you will pass through many towns along the way, and if there is a business to be done, it will be very cost-effective, but there are few opportunities. Huang Xie asked him if the interrogation along the way was strict. The merchant replied that the cities of Zhengnan included Weiyi, Hanyi, and even Chuyi, and in order to attract trade through their cities, they generally did not strictly check them, and even obviously committed adultery, and as long as they did not affect their view, they would probably turn a blind eye. Huang Xie thanked him and sent the merchant out.

He also called the retainers who had come to report the news, and asked, "Who will tell him when he comes?" ”

The retainer replied, "The master of the reverse brigade has come to report that there is a distinguished guest in front of the door." The minister looked at it, and he said that he was 'Huang Gongxie's old friend'. The minister knew that the prince was Huang Gongxie, and he was widowed. Consulted, Bi Yun met in Zeng Yingdu Zhangtai. The minister did not dare to ask again, but reciprocated. ”

Huang Xie said: "Who are you? Namang Mao also! Suitable for defeating Qin, sneaking to Yinyang, and changing his name to Yingong. ”

The retainer said: "The minister is also quite strange that he can sound in unison, and Gai Mang Gong is also." ”

Huang Xie said: "Mang Gong lives here, and he doesn't dare to let others know. - Surely it will be harmed! ”

The retainer said: "Respectfully! Seeing that Huang Xie had nothing else to say, he resigned.

Huang Xie originally wanted to find someone to inquire about Mang Mao's residence and family in Yinyang, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would be too publicized and cause trouble to Mang Mao, so he omitted it. If you can meet with Shen Gongzi and Shen Gongzi, ask Shen Gongzi directly.

One night, Huang Xie was disturbed by Mangmao's visit and couldn't sleep all night: on the one hand, he felt that it was a huge opportunity, and on the other hand, he was afraid that it was a huge trap. Hesitant and indecided. After dawn, Huang Xie, with the assistance of his retainers, reorganized his clothes and had breakfast. The retainers came to report that the goods had been loaded, and asked the son to board the journey. Huang Xie went out to get into the car with a hesitant mood. The city lord of Yinyang and the surrounding merchants probably gained a lot, and they all gathered in front of the door to send each other. Huang Xie saluted one by one, went around to the river, joined the fleet, turned into the water from the mouth of the river, and went upstream.

At dusk, the caravan arrived at a city, and the merchants had already reported it in advance, and when the fleet arrived, the lord of the city had already greeted him at the mouth of Jinkou, and said: "The lord of the city, Hu Qian, welcomes the prince of Chu!" ”

After Huang Xie came out of Hidden Yang City, he got out of the car and got on a small boat. Huang Xie is not stupid, he naturally knows that riding in a car is not as comfortable as taking a boat, and if it is not necessary for etiquette, he doesn't want to take a car at all. Now when he saw the lord of the city coming out, he came out of the boat and said, "The merchant passed through Guiyi and begged for a night and a meal." But there are things that can be traded. The lord of the city thanked him. The boatman next to him assisted the boatman who drove the boat to the shore and set up a gangplank, and the lord of the city personally helped Huang Xie to go ashore.

Huang Xie asked the lord of Yi: "Guiyi Hu clan? ”

The lord of Yi said: "The old Hu country has been dead for a long time, and the people are scattered, but the old name is saved." ”

Huang Xie said: "Chen Guo also has a lot of Hu clans, dare to be one?" ”

The lord of Yi said: "Chen Guo Hu's family, the surname of the concubine, after Hu Mangong." The Hu family of Yiyi, the surname of the concubine, and the Yin people. After the Yin was extinguished, Ji's surname was sealed Hu, and according to this, it was also Hu's. Although they are all Hu, there are three of them, and they are not a branch. ”

Huang Xie said: "Lord Weiyi, how can I know!" ”

While Huang Xie was talking with the lord of the city, the ships of the caravan docked in turn. The convoy stopped on the opposite bank, and it was difficult to cross the river without a bridge, so they camped on the opposite bank. Due to the small size of the city of Huyi, there are not many counter-travelers, except for a few leading figures, others rest on the shore. Of course, the merchant could not let go of the opportunity to do business, and the shouting of gold attracted the surrounding villages to the shore. Most of them exchange their local products for some necessary daily necessities, such as baskets and daggers, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Huang Xie took several big businessmen and retainers, led by Hu Qian, to the hometown of Hu to pay their respects. It has been surrounded by fields, but because of the ruins and broken walls, the foundations of the city are not cultivable, so this piece is vacated. Because the weeds were overgrown and there was no trace of it for a long time, everyone was afraid that there would be poisonous snakes and beasts inside, so they didn't dare to enter, but just went around the city wall to hang themselves. Huang Xie seemed to see the scene and asked, "If there is Hu Yang, dare to go out of Guiyi?" ”

Unexpectedly, I was hit by the question. Hu Qian asked in surprise: "Childe also knows Hu Yangye?" Yang, a young man, brave and tireless. The brochure is recited. His father, Jiazhi, broke his family and bought a boat and sent it to Jixia, dying twenty years old! Last year, Yang sent an envoy to Hu to worship his parents, but they all died and were nowhere to be seen, but the brothers were still alive. So that the money is left and returned, and the yang is no longer seen! ”

Huang Xie said: "But there are people in his clan who can be created? And help it! ”

Hu Qiandao: "Son's visit to him." ”

Huang Xie said: "Does it have a person who enters the order and is outstanding? ”

Hu Qian smiled bitterly: "Yang, brilliant and brilliant. His brothers, sons and nephews are all busy. If there is no outstanding, it is difficult to stop the order! ”

Huang Xie said: "If it is, it will be difficult for me to do it." Yang sent in, but left money? Would you rather give each other without saying a word? ”

Hu Qiandao: "The words of nobles are not understood by people in the countryside." ”

Huang Xie said: "What do you say? ”

Hu Qiandao: "His envoy said, in the chaotic world, you have to protect the head, rather than more!" ”

Huang Xie was stunned when he heard this, and said, "It's also a heartfelt word." Why was Guiyi ever soldiered? ”

Hu Qiandao: "Before I heard that I was 100 years old, Hu Shu was shattered. Since he was a child, he has rarely seen soldiers, but he has heard of it. ”

Huang Xie said: "Hu Yang sent an envoy here, where is his people?" ”

Hu Qiandao: "I heard that it was flowing from the water to the east. The mountains and rivers are blocked, and it is inconvenient for official business, so they send envoys to visit. ”

When the businessmen heard this, they called the insiders: quietly, they found out Hu Yang's march route. But it's hidden in the stomach, and the face is not exposed.

The water is about fifty miles south of the Lishui, where it is the fief of the old Bai State, after the destruction of the Bai State, Bai Yi first belonged to Chu, and then was captured by Han. Hu Yang entered the Central Plains and passed through Korean cities, which shows that Han and Qin have long been colluded, and the so-called Han hesitates between Qin and Jin is completely an illusion after Mang Mao was deceived. From the very beginning, Mangmao fell into a huge trap!

After returning from the search, Huang Xie was still unsatisfied, and said to Hu Qian: "Dare to visit Brother Hu Yang." ”

When Hu Qian saw Huang Xie coming, he asked about Hu Yang, thinking that it was an acquaintance of Hu Yang, so he didn't think much about it, and took everyone to Hu Yang's hometown. Hu Yang's parents died many years ago, and Hu Yang's eldest brother is in charge. Hu Qian arrived at the door of the old house and shouted: "Shun'er, there is a visitor!" ”

An honest peasant came out and saluted the lord of the city, "Father calls me? ”

Hu Qianyi pointed to everyone and said, "Yes, Yang'er's peers, and I am here to visit." ”

Huang Xie said: "We know Hu Qing, and when we heard about his home, we came to visit him. ”

Huang Xie said "Su Zhi Hu Qing", not "Su Zhi Hu Qing", which is not a lie, but where can others distinguish the subtlety. Hu Shun saw that although the people behind Hu Qian were all short-dressed, they were also brightly dressed, so he hurriedly went to the courtyard. The hut was low and the air was dirty, so he, together with his wife and children, took out a bunch of seats and invited everyone to sit in the courtyard. Hu Qian didn't plan to accompany him, so he said goodbye and left.

Huang Xie said: "I have heard that Hu Qing rarely has Huiying, but I didn't expect it to come from such a sinister place!" ”

Hu Shun didn't understand Huang Xie's words, so he had to laugh and laugh.

Huang Xie saw that he didn't understand Yayu, so he talked to each other in local language: "I heard that Hu Yang was smart when he was a child, and he didn't want to live here!" ”

Hu Shun was also a little excited when he saw Hu Yang, and asked, "...... Zhu Gong and Hu Yang?"

Huang Xie said: "Hu Yang sees Qin Qing, and we are his subordinates. ”

Hearing that it was Hu Yang's subordinate, Hu Shun blushed suddenly. hurriedly called his wife and ordered her to cook a lot of thick porridge. The wife looked embarrassed, as if to say that there was not much corn. Hu Shun reprimanded in a low voice: "These are all Hu Yang's subordinates, and when they come to the master's house, they don't get a meal!" ”

Huang Xie said: "Shungong doesn't have to work. Hu Qing has something to give, and when the ministers land on the shore, it is inconvenient to carry, so they are willing to take it. ”

A merchant and a retainer beside him understood this, and immediately got up and said, "The ministers are willing to take it!" ”

When he was young, two retainers carried a burden, and the merchant and the retainer who had been with him came to the courtyard with a box and a piece of cloth. The retainer reported: "Hu Qing gave jujube, lotus, mushroom, barley, cinnamon, as well as peach, apricot, plum and other preserved fruits a stone, a silk, and a headdress, I would like to give it!" ”

Huang Xie invited Hu Shuntong to look at it and pointed: "Jujube, lotus, mushroom, barley, cinnamon, preserved peach, preserved apricot, preserved plum, fine silk, headdress." Ministers' dedication is unmistakable! ”

Hu Shun hurriedly ran into the room, called his son, and said, "Quickly call Ruzhong's father and uncle to come together, and the envoy of Father Yang is the best!" Then he called his wife and commanded her to cook the contents of the basket with the corn. The wife was also shocked by this basket full of all kinds of local products, so she took a small basket and filled a basket, measured a stone millet, and went to the backyard to wash it. When I was young, the second and third children of the Hu family came, and Huang Xie and the others stood up respectfully and greeted them one by one. After saying some polite words to each other, the second and third children called their wives and children to meet their father's friends and help cook "eight-treasure porridge" on the other.

Huang Xie and those businessmen, all shrewd, in the strong fragrance of eight-treasure porridge, did not long mingle with the three Hu brothers. The Hu brothers completely took off their inhibitions, just like old friends who had not met for a long time, in the laughter, the past of Hu Yang's youth was seriously recalled one by one, and various details were perfected.

The porridge in the ding is exhausted, and the guests and hosts are happy. The wind is clear and the moon is clear, and the summer night is cool......
