Volume 2 The Old Country in Beijing Chapter 29 Complicated

The heavy snow seems to decorate this unique place in Kyoto.

Dongchang Governor's Mansion.

The halls and pavilions in the courtyard, the bright lights, the sounds of frolicking, piano and chirping, show the unusualness of the owner of this mansion.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian relied on Zhu Youxiao's trust and the relationship with the emperor's nurse, Mrs. Keshi, and was promoted to the eunuch of Si Li Bingbi and became the head of the eunuch party.

In the past two years, Wei Zhongxian has been directly honored as nine thousand years old, becoming under one person and above ten thousand.

Chu Liufeng and Xin Tiedan didn't dare to walk on the roof of the temple, and it was easy for pedestrians to leave footprints when it was snowing.

The two of them could only jump up and down the tree to the backyard.

Compared to the bustling courtyards, it is unusually quiet.

In a large hall, Wei Zhongxian sat on the bed, smoking a cigarette pipe while listening to the two people opposite.

Yu Changkong stood beside him, looking at the two opposite, his eyes were a little cold, and he was more puzzled.

"When my sister and I arrived in Beijing, we came to visit you at the age of nine thousand, which was also instructed by the master."

Chu Liufeng saw that the person who spoke turned out to be Liu Xingyue.

After Liu Xingyue finished speaking, she took out another letter from her arms and presented it to Wei Zhongxian with both hands.

Wei Zhongxian finished reading the letter, sat up straight from the bed with his hands, stared at Liu Xingyue and Gao Lianlian for a while, and then said:

"Did your master ask you to come to Beijing to see me? I haven't seen you for a few years, Mr. Ouyang is okay! ”

Liu Xingyue looked at Gao Lianlian, Gao Lianlian stood up and said:

"Daddy is okay, he said that he had shared hardships with you when he was a teenager, so he asked us to visit you, and by the way, there is another thing, I want to ask the nine thousand-year-old master for a favor!"

"It's for Gao Yingxiang of the camel team, right? What is his relationship with you? ”

Wei Zhongxian's gaze was already a little chilly.

Gao Lian's hands trembled a little, but he still forced himself to calm down:

"Gao Yingxiang is my uncle, he has always run this camel team, the drugs in the camel team are the Jingshi Baiji medicine number, Yan'an Mansion is lacking authentic medicinal materials, and my uncle is also to help the people in his hometown and neighborhood, and he doesn't make money at all."

"What's the deal with all that pig iron?"

Wei Zhongxian stared coldly at Liu Xingyue, who had been silent.

Liu Xingyue still lowered her head.

"Northern Shaanxi has not produced iron tools, the tools used by the villagers to work have to be replaced, and my uncle is also anxious to purchase these things, if Chitose Ye feels that he has violated the laws of the imperial court, these pig iron will be confiscated."

After Gao Lianlian finished speaking, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

"Nine thousand years old! They seem to be involved in Jinan Mansion and the Jiangshan Order. ”

Yu Changkong bowed and said.

"What seems to be it, there must be enough evidence to determine this, wasn't your junior sister also present at the time.

and Chu Liufeng, who has just arrived in Beijing, can you say that they also colluded with Jiang Shanling? ”

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Yu Changkong's face turned pale and he stopped talking.

"Then let me ask you again, what is going on with the 36th Battalion, do you know?"

"My sister and I grew up in Maijishan, Gansu, and we also heard it in the 36th battalion, and the legend is that the Jin people are going to enter the customs, which is an alliance formed by the neighbors in order to protect themselves."

Liu Xingyue replied in a low voice.

Wei Zhongxian took a puff of his cigarette and said after a while:

"You guys go back to the inn first, Gao Yingxiang's matter, for the sake of Mr. Ouyang's face, he will consider it as appropriate, if there is anything, I will send someone to inform you."

Liu Xingyue and Gao Lian were relieved, bowed to Wei Zhongxian, and walked out.

"You also know that Mr. Ouyang is a pivotal figure in today's martial arts, he grew up with me since he was a child, and later joined the White Lotus Sect, I know him very well, it should have little to do with the thirty-six battalions and Jiangshan Ling.

These masters of the rivers and lakes, we also have to make friends, like your master Yang Kunlun, we don't dare to offend. ”

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, Yu Changkong was a little flattered, and his face suddenly became not so pale.

Chu Liufeng and Xin Tiedan on the trees outside were all surprised.

The Mr. Ouyang that Wei Zhongxian said was Ouyang Xiong, the master of the White Lotus Sect, and Liu Xingyue turned out to be Ouyang Xiong's disciple.

There is also this Wei Zhongxian who has contacts with people in the rivers and lakes, but it is unexpected.

"The Ming Dynasty is also an eventful autumn now, the border passes are constantly in flames, this Jurchen will enter the pass sooner or later, there are more and more hungry people in the Northwest Central Plains, and we don't know what the outcome will be!"

Wei Zhongxian and Yu Changkong's voices became smaller and smaller, and they came intermittently.

——————

The large snowflakes that fell, with a murderous aura, came down from top to bottom on the heads of Chu Liufeng and the others.

A low, crisp sound sounded continuously.

The branches were chopped off, and there were small pieces of snow that had fallen from them.

Chu Liufeng and Xin Tiedan retreated outwards while looking at the person whose sword aura was extremely powerful.

It's a gray-clothed man again, although he is not wearing gray clothes anymore, who else is there besides him in this sword posture and body style.

The two of them carried swords, and they were no longer as passive as Jinan Mansion, and they even had a chance of winning, but this was Wei Zhongxian's mansion, and they couldn't fight.

Seeing that he was about to retreat to the edge of the wall of the Wei Mansion, a sneering voice came from behind.

The snowflakes fell on the neck, and the cold of Chu Liufeng surged, and it was Yu Changkong who came.

"Brother Xin and I can't fight and fight, if we can't leave, there is a chance that Yu Changkong will kill people."

Chu Liufeng was thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.

"It's a guest here, so why bother sneaking around, why don't you sit down and have a drink, two friends."

Yu Changkong made a move, and Xin Tiedan had already injured his arm in order to protect Chu Liufeng.

Yin Yin red stains, with sword qi and snowflakes fluttering in the night sky, poignant!

Of the four, three were masked, which was another strange sight.

No, not only the three masked ones, but another masked person came to the venue, dressed in red, with long flowing hair, and came with the sound of the flute.

"You don't want to go quickly."

The woman in red said.

The sound of the flute turned into a gas, and the sword of the gray-clothed man flew into the night sky, and Yu Changkong was also retreating.

Chu Liufeng had already led Xin Tiedan and flew out of the courtyard wall of the Wei Mansion.

——————

The streets outside were covered with thick snow, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and the snow had stopped.

The cold wind blowing over makes people feel even colder.

"Yu Changkong, they already know us, Brother Xin, are you okay?"

"It's just a skin injury, we are afraid that he will do something, sooner or later one day he will tear his skin and fight the palace."

Xin Tiedan ripped off his sleeve and wrapped it around his arm.

"The woman in red who came, her skills are still above Brother Wan, don't worry about her, it's just this kindness, I don't know when I will be able to repay it."

Chu Liufeng listened to Xin Tiedan's words, and then he put his mind at ease.

The bolted mount was gone, and the two looked at each other with a wry smile, both laughing.

"Brother Xin! I'll go with you for a drink, it's too cold. ”

Xin Tiedan had already rushed forward.

——————

Very small tavern, almost full.

Xin Tiedan drank a few bowls of wine, and he was a hundred times more energetic, watching Chu Liufeng keep drinking tea, Xin Tiedan laughed again.

"It would be nice when you can learn to drink."

"Master doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, so I never drink alcohol."

"What you say doesn't make sense, how can Brother Wan be massive, I heard that the second senior brother is also an alcoholic like me, but you don't drink it."

"The bitter cold place outside the gate is much colder than Jingshi, maybe I can learn to drink if I go there.

The weather is too cold, and people will at least be much warmer after drinking. ”

"I'll go with you outside the gates."

Chu Liufeng touched Xin Tiedan with the teacup, and both of them looked at each other with resolute eyes.

At this time, a rumbling sound came, and Chu Liufeng looked up, and a tower-like man walked into the tavern with a cooked copper stick.

The cooked copper stick in the big man's hand hit the ground and made a loud rumbling sound, which shocked the people next to him to cover their ears with their hands.

"Come to two jars of burning knives, five catties of cooked beef!"

Dahan sat down and saw Chu Liufeng looking at him, and glared at him viciously.

Chu Liufeng no longer looked at the big man.

After a while, the big man drank a jar of wine, and ate most of the beef on the plate.

The big man's face was flushed, his gaze became more and more unnatural, and his eyes were already murderous.

Suddenly, Dahan drank another bowl of wine and said, "Wei Zhongxian, you eunuch, I will go and smash your dog's head in the past few days to relieve the evil anger in my heart." ”

While scolding, the big man knocked the ground with a cooked copper stick, and the two or three feet square blue striped stone cracked all at once.

When the guests at the adjacent table heard that the big man dared to scold the powerful Wei Zhongxian, they were so frightened that they put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly walked out.

The tavern's second child was also frightened, and he stood there far away and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Why don't you go?"

Dahan saw Chu Liufeng and Xin Tiedan sitting there without getting up, and roared to this side with his eyes widened.

"We are accompanying you, everyone is gone, you go alone to scold no one hears, isn't it a waste of tongue."

Xin Tiedan picked up the wine bowl and shook it at the big man.

The big man grinned, picked up the wine bowl, and went down.

Dahan was still drinking and scolding.

Chu Liufeng went to look at the big man again, and his face was full of suspicion.

"If you want to kill Wei Zhongxian, you have to come and fight with me beforehand."

Voices came from outside the tavern.

The big man's face changed, Huo Di threw down the wine bowl and two pieces of broken silver, picked up the cooked copper stick and rushed out.

Chu Liufeng and Xin Tiedan chased them out, and the red clothes were faintly visible in the distance.

Two lines of footprints on the snow, one line of footprints barely visible, or is she?

The line is a little deep, obviously the footprints of the big man.

That line of very shallow footprints, the height of light body kung fu, will never be under Yan Wuji again.
