Chapter 83: Civil Fort (4)
Lin Sheng asked, I saw the corners of Lin Sheng's mouth upturned, thinking that since Lin Sheng asked about Xue Shen, I thought that they were very familiar with each other, and replied truthfully at the moment: "Xue Baihu is from Nanjing, and I am not familiar with him." Look at him has always been a loner, we are subordinates, we dare not ask more! ”
Lin Sheng smiled and said, "The person our family is waiting for, and he is him." You don't have to worry too much, he is very arrogant, I'm afraid that you Liao Commander, he didn't pay attention to it, there is no way, he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, the cousin of the current emperor, not to mention that he has some skills, and he has made a lot of contributions in Nanjing. ”
I listened to it, startled, glad that I didn't have too many words, Lin Sheng suddenly sighed, and said: "Originally, I made an appointment with him, plus you, we can clean up those Mongolians, I don't want him to be delayed, hey, this is also the will of God, just let go of these people, don't become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty in the future!" I saw that he was quite remorseful, so I had to echo: "There will still be opportunities in the future." Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I won't tell you, I am also carefully arranged, and even made an appointment with the garrison." It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
Soon, sure enough, General He from Juyong Pass led a sentry to come, Lin Sheng was a little annoyed, greeted him, and said, "General He, why did you miss the appointment?" General He looked at me, and Lin Sheng said, "It's okay, it's all my own family!" General He said: "Lord Zhang Qin Yushi is back, and his subordinates can't mobilize people without authorization, so it's a step late." Lin Sheng frowned, his face softened slightly, and said, "Then why did it come out again?" General He said: "On the order of Lord Zhang, I came to find you!" "Oh, what is he looking for me?" Lin Sheng was unmoved, General He still pulled Lin Sheng aside, whispered a few words in a low voice, I vaguely heard the word "in the palace", then Lin Sheng's face changed, and then, he asked a few more words, and his face became more and more serious.
I guessed that something big must have happened, and sure enough, after General He finished speaking, he led his men and horses to hurry away, it should be to patrol the border, Lin Sheng came over and said, "Let's go back to Beijing immediately!" ”
I said "yes" and caught a glimpse of sweat all over his forehead!
Along the way, we barely had many words, and the four of us galloped through the snow, and soon we saw Juyong Pass. When passing through the Juyong Pass, we saw Ning Boyang leading my group of brothers to escort Miss Ning Xi back to Beijing, they were resting in the pass, Ning Xi accompanied by Ning Boyang, went to visit the Zhenwu Temple, Ning Boyang's eyes were sharp, he saw us enter the customs, and waved at me, which provoked Miss Ning Xi to turn around and smile sweetly at us, I wanted to stop, but Lin Sheng stopped me and said: "Go back to Beijing immediately, you can't delay!" Let them go slowly! His tone was stern, and I couldn't help but obey, so I rushed up and beckoned, and hurried out of the customs.
It seems that there is indeed a problem in the palace, and Lin Sheng just changed our clothes before letting us go on the road. Along the way, Lin Sheng barely spoke, the horse ran as if flying, and the two followers followed suit, and I gradually fell behind, still following. About an hour, I have been able to see the capital from afar, it can be described as a lack of people and horses, the stomach growls, fortunately there are many villages here, in front of Lin Sheng, who has already stopped when I came, he looked very leisurely, smiled slightly, and said: "It's hard for you, equestrianism still has to be practiced!" My face was hot, and he smiled again: "Our family is your age, let alone riding a horse, and you don't even dare to approach the horse!" "He was very easy-going, and I took it to heart.
Lin Sheng pointed over there with his hand and said, "Everyone is hungry, let's go, let's go there to eat!" "I heard the reputation, and it was actually Taibaiju. It's just that Lin Sheng was in a hurry to go back to the city, but he stopped halfway, I was puzzled, Lin Sheng seemed to see through my thoughts, and said: "There are some things that can't be rushed, let's fill our stomachs and talk about it!" ”
We got off the horse and went straight into the yard, which was quiet, the gate was hidden, but no one came out, and there were a lot of horses tied in the corridor. I couldn't help but look at Lin Sheng, winked at him, he understood, motioned for two subordinates to pass over from both sides, and he said in a loud voice: "Where is the store?" We're going to eat? ”
The voice circled around the yard, but there was no sound of answer, but it only alarmed many horses, and they were restless back and forth. We became more alert, looked around, and slowly approached the gate.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone said as he walked from inside, and as soon as the door opened, a person walked out with a smile, a short and fat man, wearing a hat and an apron, and said with a smile: "Four guest officers, please come in!" ”
This person didn't see it yesterday, but this Taiping Ju was indeed here yesterday, how could this be, Lin Sheng smiled: "The shopkeeper's noble surname? This shop looks like it's been around for years! The Humpty Dumpty man smiled and said, "Villain Qiu Er, this shop has indeed been open for many years!" ”
I just wanted to speak, Lin Sheng smiled and said to me: "We are tired for a long time, Qiu shopkeeper, hurry up and get some steamed buns, vegetable soup and the like, the weather is cold, we have to eat something, and we have to hurry to Beijing in a while!" ”
Qiu Er glanced at me and said, "Yes, the snow fell really hard yesterday, I haven't seen it for many years, and the road is not easy to walk. ”
There were only four of us in the big hall, and there were two guys behind the counter who were busy, and although they were working, their eyes often slipped to us. And after we came in, I saw the figure flashing outside the window, I knew eight or nine points in my heart, I couldn't help but be nervous, look at Lin Sheng, sit down calmly, the two entourages sat left and right, seeing that I hesitated and refused to sit down, Lin Sheng motioned for me to sit down, and said with a smile: "What? Are Brother Zhang's treats so polite? Shopkeeper, you remember to ask him for food money, we are the autumn wind. Then Qiu Er walked up to me with a smile and said, "You are the owner, if you want to eat something, I will arrange someone to do it immediately?" ”
I thought about it and said, "Shopkeeper Qiu, there is something delicious, just come up, the food money is easy to say!" Qiu Er nodded, and shouted inside: "Guys, pick a good one and make it quickly, a few masters want to eat!" Inside, Qiu Er asked me again, "Do you drink?" It's cold, drink a pot of hot wine to warm up! ”
"Okay, if you have good wine, just come up, our brother Zhang has money." Lin Sheng teased me, I naturally cooperated, Qiu Er promised, turned around to leave, Lin Sheng said: "Shopkeeper, we passed by here and saw a lot of horses in the yard, I thought that this place must be famous, the food is delicious, why come in, there is no one?" ”
Qiu Er's face shook inintuitively, and he smiled again: "This lord has good eyesight, my hotel is also a little famous in this area, there are naturally many guests who come to eat, and the owners of those horses have gone to the guest room to rest, I see that you are officials, if you feel tired, you can also go to the guest room to rest!" ”
Lin Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, if it's convenient, let's go rest after we eat!" Qiu Er agreed to go out, and I whispered to Lin Sheng: "Father-in-law, is there a problem with this store?" Lin Sheng smiled and nodded, shook his head slightly, got up and walked a few steps, and said deliberately: "This shop is quaint, and it looks like it has been old for many years." As he spoke, he walked straight to the counter, and when the two guys saw this, their heads were lowered, and Qiu Er hurriedly walked over from outside and said, "Guest officer, but choose wine?" I hurriedly followed, Lin Sheng didn't answer directly, and looked at a painting hanging on the wall, an ancient man looking at the moon with a wine glass, and a couplet next to him: Please try to ask the east flowing water, don't care who is short or long.
Lin Sheng smiled at me and said, "Do you know the origin of this couplet? Naturally, I didn't know, so I hurriedly asked, Lin Sheng turned around and said to Qiu Er: "Shopkeeper, what does this couplet mean?" Who is this ancient man? Qiu Er suddenly lost his smile, took a serious look at the painting, and said, "I don't know if this is true, the villain hasn't read a book for a few days." ”
Lin Sheng restrained his smile and said, "This is too Baiju, it's not yours, right?" ”
