Chapter 100: Return to Jinyang, Shimin comes to see
Song Mocheng's housekeeper walked in front of this person, only to see a man with a big waist and round waist and wearing armor standing aside, commanding the soldiers to check the horse convoy, and carefully combed through the big and small characters of the Yanmen official mansion in his mind, the housekeeper suddenly found that he didn't know the person in front of him, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The villain is Song Ye's housekeeper, I don't know the name of this adult?"
This person squinted and looked at Song Mocheng's housekeeper coldly, and said in a disdainful tone: "I don't care if you are Song Ye or Li Ye, Lao Tzu doesn't know anything, and there is no horse convoy out of the city that does not need to be checked. β
As soon as the words fell, he said to a group of soldiers: "Hurry up and check it for Lao Tzu one by one, if anyone is not carefully discovered by Lao Tzu, be careful to go back and be whipped." On the one hand, they were afraid of Song Ye's forces, and on the other hand, the garrison Guo Cheng had ordered that there was no need to check Song Ye's carriage out of the city, and today he received the benefits of others, and suddenly fell into a dilemma.
Seeing that the soldiers did not act, this man couldn't help but be very annoyed in his heart, and immediately wanted to step forward to scold the soldiers, but the butler saw this and shouted in a low voice: "This lord, please take a step to speak." β
Hearing the housekeeper calling him, he turned around and walked aside with the housekeeper in surprise, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, hurry up, Lao Tzu's time is very expensive." β
The villain has been with Song Ye for a long time, and the officials in the Yanmen realm are basically familiar with him, but he has never seen an adult. The housekeeper rolled his eyes, thinking that he could delay it for a while, and it was best to delay it until Song Ye arrived.
"Lao Tzu's name is Zhang Li, he is the captain of Guo Cheng Guo Garrison, you can call me Zhang Xiaowei, after asking Lao Tzu, I am going to investigate. "Hearing that the housekeeper didn't know him, Zhang Li felt funny in his heart, thinking that Lao Tzu has only been here for a few days, of course you don't know me.
As soon as he heard that this person was under Guo Cheng's command, the housekeeper sneered in his heart, thinking that I thought that the big dragon came out of somewhere, it turned out to be a dog under Guo Cheng, which is easy to do, after all, dogs have owners, thinking that the housekeeper took out half of the money from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang, a small gift when we meet for the first time is not a tribute, and I hope that Captain Zhang will accept it with a smile." β
Looking at the money stuffed by the housekeeper, Zhang Li stretched out his hand and hit the half-run money on the ground, and said viciously: "What are you doing? Do you want to bribe me?" Then he walked to the convoy and shouted to the soldiers: "Hurry up and check Lao Tzu, if you can't find out the problem, wait to be whipped." β
Looking at the half-run money that was knocked to the ground, the unhappy expression on the housekeeper's face was fleeting, and after bending down to pick up the half-run money, he was about to have an attack when he suddenly saw his own master, accompanied by the guy who reported the news, and walked over from a distance, looking at Song Ye Tieqing's face, the housekeeper and the guys of the team secretly muttered in their hearts, don't be angry with yourself.
A group of soldiers who were in a dilemma were about to step forward to investigate, but they saw Song Mocheng's figure with sharp eyes, and whispered: "Don't move, Song Ye is here." Hearing this, everyone suddenly became smart, and looked back in unison, only to see Song Mocheng walking over accompanied by a guy, and a group of black-clothed men with sticks in hand not far behind him were walking briskly towards here.
Chu Mofeng and the others outside the city gate couldn't help but look at each other when they looked at the scene in front of them, only to hear Gu Zhen'er say in an undeniable tone: "Brother Feng, where did you find someone, this whole scoundrel." β
Looking at the battle at the gate of the city, Chu Mofeng thought to himself that the people of the Song family in Lingnan were doing things more and more high-profile, this was the most high-profile semicolon shopkeeper he had seen so far, and he dared to confront the people of the official mansion with open fire, Sister Xuanji, what kind of people did she bring out.
I saw Song Mocheng walk up to the convoy, and said to Zhang Liyi with a smile: "I don't know why this adult wants to check the villain's convoy? Could it be that there are any contraband on the villain's convoy?"
"There are no contraband, the list of goods is clearly written, but Lao Tzu just wants to check it. Zhang Li knew that he was at a loss, but he still said with a tough attitude: "Anyway, you are the Song Ye in the mouth of the guy just now, right? I heard that your convoy never needs to be checked when it goes out of the city, Lao Tzu is very curious about what qualifications you have not to accept the interrogation?"
Song Mocheng had already seen Chu Mofeng waiting anxiously outside the city gate at this time, and thought to himself that if he messed up this matter in front of the younger brother of the big shopkeeper, then the matter of wanting to return to Lingnan would definitely be yellow. Glancing at the idiot-like official in front of him, Song Mocheng was angry, thinking that where did this pop up, he had to spoil the good things of the uncle at this juncture, it seems that if I don't give you some color, you don't know how powerful the uncle is.
Thinking of this, Song Mocheng looked at Zhang Li coldly and said, "In this case, can the villain think that your actions are deliberately asking for trouble, adult?"
"What can you do with me? Don't forget that you are a small businessman, and Lao Tzu is an official. Seeing Song Mocheng asking such a question, Zhang Li also knew that he had already torn his face at this time, and wanted to try to suppress Song Mocheng with the article that the official is greater than the people.
Who knew that Zhang Li made a mistake this time, only to hear Song Mocheng sneer and say: "Butler, let the team go first, and I can deal with it at this time." β
When the housekeeper heard his master's order, he hurriedly beckoned the convoy to go out of the city, and Zhang Li hurriedly shouted: "Stop these carriages quickly, don't let them go out of the city." He shouted several times in succession, but none of the soldiers moved, and Zhang Li hurriedly reached out to pull the reins of the carriage.
At this time, the group of black-clothed people with sticks were already standing behind Song Mocheng, only to see a rope suddenly fly out of the crowd, as if it was positioned, it was accurately set on Zhang Li's neck, and Zhang Li, who was about to pull the reins of the horse, only felt that his neck was tight, and the whole person was dragged backwards by a huge force.
After rubbing and sliding on the ground for a distance, he was dragged to Song Mocheng's feet, only to see Song Mocheng wave his hand at the carriage convoy, lowered his head and said with disdain: "Captain Zhang, I don't know if you have heard a word, you don't eat and drink when you toast you just now, you didn't answer when my housekeeper toasted you just now, so now I have to invite you to drink a glass of fine wine." After speaking, Song Mocheng got up and said to the man in black behind him: "Don't kill it, don't cripple it, just teach it a lesson, hang me at the south gate when I'm done, and I'll deal with this matter when Guo Cheng comes back." After speaking, he patted the dust on his body and paced towards the horse market.
There was a sound of blunt objects hitting the flesh behind him, mixed with Zhang Li's screams, and the surrounding soldiers saw this scene as if they were all right, and each returned to his post, while watching coldly, he laughed and scolded in his heart: It deserves it, and it is good to have a long memory if things that don't have long eyes are beaten.
Seeing the convoy slowly walking out of the city gate, the big stone hanging in the hearts of Chu Mofeng and the others suddenly fell to the ground, and the four of them glanced at each other, and only after the back of the convoy passed, they turned their horses around and slowly followed behind the convoy.
The group walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of Loufu County, to go to Taiyuan must pass through Loufu County, because at this time Yanmen and Mayi were occupied by Liu Wuzhou, so according to the description of the people who came and went, Loufu County was in a state of high alert at this time.
Hearing this news, Chu Mofeng smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, and everyone walked along the bank of the Hutuo River towards Loufu County, looking at the calm flowing Hutuo Water, Chu Mofeng's nervous mood all the way suddenly relaxed, and he hummed the local folk tune of Zhangye softly in his mouth.
Seeing Chu Mofeng's relaxed attitude, Yuwen Xiuce immediately stepped forward and rode with him and asked: "Brother Chu, what is going on with this court now, my fathers did not hesitate to fight with their lives to protect it back then, but now they have become like this." β
"It can only be said that the villain is in charge at the moment, the emperor is mediocre and corrupt, you look at what Yang Guang has done over the years, how can there be one that has won the hearts of the people, the territory is full of wolf smoke, the people are displaced and hungry, how can such a court continue to maintain?" Thinking of what he had seen and experienced along the way over the years, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be angry in his heart.
At this time, Gu Zhen'er, who was walking behind the two, came to Liu Feiyan's side and said mysteriously: "Cousin, you see that there is a trip to Ma Yi here, and another one is turned back, and when the time comes, you will see how Shuang'er and Ziyao pick him up." β
"My eldest Miss Gu, if your old man doesn't pick him up, I'll burn high incense, besides, Xiu'er will definitely live with Mrs. Chen's family when she arrives in Jinyang, so don't think about it. Seeing that Gu Zhen'er began to chase after the wind again, Liu Feiyan sighed in her heart, thinking that this cousin only had her brother Feng in her mind, and it was indeed not a matter if it went on like this for a long time, it seemed that it was necessary for him to find an opportunity to make it clear to Brother Chu.
While the two teams were chatting, they suddenly passed by, and a hurried shout came from behind them: "Stop, don't run, hand over what you are holding." β
When the four of them heard this, they stopped their horses and turned to look back, only to see four black-clothed men with sharp blades chasing after the person riding the horse before.
The person who rode the horse before seemed to have slipped because of the horse's hooves, and the whole person fell off the horse's back, and after rolling on the ground a few times, the helmet didn't know where it fell, and a cloud-like hair floated away, and the whole person endured the pain and straightened up, holding the burden on his body step by step towards the direction of Lou Fu County.
Seeing this, the person chasing behind laughed, slowly controlled the horse under his crotch and followed the woman, laughing as he walked: "I originally thought you were a man, who knew that you were a little lady, I think you are also tired and crooked, Liu Taishou's letter you dare to steal, you run, you continue to run." β
The woman looked at the four men viciously with the burden in her arms and said: "I just have to climb back to Loufu County, your Laoshi son Liu Taishou is uneasy and kind, and you still want to occupy Loufu County, I want to send the letter back, so that the whole world knows your Taishou's wolf ambitions." After speaking, he continued to stubbornly walk forward.
Chu Mofeng and the others, who were passing by, couldn't help but jump when they heard Liu Taishou's three words, and Gu Zhen'er, who had always been upright, opened her mouth to ask: "This sister, the Liu Taishou you just said is the Liu Wuzhou of Mayi?"
Seeing someone asking, the woman hurriedly nodded and said: "It is this person, this person occupies the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen, and also vainly tries to attack Loufu County at the beginning of next month, I am his maid, I overheard the news by chance, and later when he cleaned up the study, he saw the letters he exchanged with his men, so he stole out and prepared to go to Loufu County to report the news." Unexpectedly, he was discovered by his men and chased me all the way to this point. β
Seeing that his target was still thinking of talking to others at this time, one of the men in black said viciously to Gu Zhen'er: "Little lady, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't worry about what you shouldn't care, otherwise the uncle will let you know how to write dead words." β
I thought that my bad words could scare Gu Zhen'er on the side, but as soon as the words fell, I saw a light quickly amplified in my eyes, and then I only felt a cold neck, and the last scene in my eyes was that I rose into the air, and my body was still sitting on the horse.
Chu Mofeng and the others couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw Gu Zhen'er make a move, and then pulled out their weapons to meet them, and the companions of the man in black saw that this person's head and body were separated, and the big head rose to the sky with a cavity of blood, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, and secretly said that this woman was so fast with her knife skills, and hurriedly pulled out her blade and prepared to surround Gu Zhen'er.
After Gu Zhen'er succeeded in the blow, she quickly came to the woman's side with her legs between the belly of the horse, picked her up and helped her to the horse, and ran towards the carriage that Mrs. Chen was riding with the momentum of the horse under her crotch.
Seeing this, the other three men in black were about to chase after them, but they were blocked by the other three people, only to see one of the men in black say: "I think a few of them should be the guards of the caravan, do you want to be the enemy of Mrs. Liu?"
Chu Mofeng held the Burning Sky in his right hand, stretched out his little finger with his left hand, clasped his ear, and said disdainfully: "For the enemy, did the fire in Mayi that night look good?"
When the three black-clothed men heard that the person in front of them was the person who committed the crime in Mayi that night, they panicked in their hearts and hurriedly turned their horses' heads and prepared to turn around and flee, Chu Mofeng sneered when he saw this and said, "Kill it, don't leave any of them." After speaking, his left hand reached out to the dart bag behind his waist, and he took out three darts and threw them forward, and Liu Feiyan on the side urged the horse to rush forward.
Three golden rays of light accurately hit the back of the hearts of the three of them, and when Yu Wenxiu saw this, he raised his two strangely shaped knives with both hands, and quickly ran forward with a clip on the horse's belly.
After one of them was caught up by Liu Feiyan, he only felt a chill in his heart, and the whole person was pierced by Liu Feiyan, and after being carried out by his own mount for a distance, the whole person fell to the ground.
And the other two saw the tragic situation of their companions, and they didn't care about anything else, and kept whipping the horse's back in a vain attempt to flee quickly, who knew that the horse under the crotch was just an ordinary horse, and the foot strength could not outrun Yu Wenxiu's horse, after Yu Wenxiu rode the horse over the two, he pulled the horse's head under a sharp stop, and the whole person rushed towards the two.
Seeing this, the two men in black were born from the side of their hearts, raised their weapons high, and tried in vain to split Yuwenxiu off the horse, who knew that when the two horses were wrong, Yuwenxiu fell to the ground to avoid the falling blades of the two, and the two knives in his hands were driven by the arm to slash hard, only to see two blood arrows spraying out along the necks of the two.
Chu Mofeng saw that Liu Feiyan and Yu Wenxiu were both successful in one blow, and he couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart, and then immediately stepped forward to take down the three darts, stabbed everyone in the back with the burning sky, and after confirming that there was no survival target, he turned around and caught up with Gu Zhen'er.
At this time, Gu Zhen'er had already settled the woman, and everyone continued to walk towards Loufu County, and when they came to the gate of Loufu County, the carriage was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, but the woman jumped out of the carriage while she was checking, and hurriedly came to the city gate, and said to the soldiers who were checking: "Hurry up and let the carriage into the city, I want to go back to the house to see my father." β
When the soldiers defending the city heard the woman's shout, they quickly turned around and looked, and one of them arched his hand at the woman and said, "Miss, why are you back like this? β
If it weren't for the guards of this caravan who saved me, you would have gone to the official road to collect my body now. Hearing that the soldiers were still going to investigate, the woman did not have a hard time telling what had happened.
After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the soldiers guarding the city were also much more polite to the convoy, and quickly let the convoy enter the city with a wave of their hand, only to see the woman walk in front of Chu Mofeng, saluted him and said: "Thank you to a few people for their help, it is true that the little woman is the daughter of the garrison general in the city, and this time she went to Mayi to spy on intelligence. β
"It's okay, the girl doesn't have to worry about the trivial things, the rangers have no name and no surname, and everyone in the world calls us the flower on the other side. Girl, hurry back to the house to report the news, it's good to prepare early, let's meet again and say goodbye!" Chu Mofeng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to continue walking.
Looking at the back of the convoy in the distance, the woman muttered: "It turns out that they are the legendary flowers of the other side, it is better to meet if they are really famous." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the garrison mansion.
After discussing with the convoy, Chu Mofeng and others escorted Mrs. Chen's carriage to Jinyang by water, while the convoy continued to go to Jinyang by land.
At this time, outside Jinyang City, Li Shimin had sent someone to wait here for several days, opening the door every day, closing the door and returning, and did not wait for Chu Mofeng and others for several days, during which Li Shimin also sent someone to Chu Mansion to ask, and was told that Chu Mofeng and others did not come back, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
In the early morning of this day, Li Shimin sent someone outside the city early, and he changed his clothes and prepared to go later, but he was about to go out but was stopped by Li Yuan, only to hear Li Yuan say in a deep voice: "Erlang, what kind of system is it to be so panicked?"
"The father didn't know, the child begged Chu Xiaozi to go to Ma Yi to find out the news on his behalf, it's been almost half a month, and he still hasn't seen Chu Xiaozi come back, the child can't help but be a little anxious, lest something happen to him. Seeing that his payment stopped him, Li Shimin expressed the concerns in his heart.
Li Yuan stroked his beard when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know this kid, you haven't returned for many days, do you have to worry about seeing those ladies in his family? Since you are sincere in befriending him, you must believe him, just like when he went to the Bird Mouse Valley to rescue his father, can you imagine that the six of them rushed to kill in an army of 30,000 as if they were in a no-man's land?" At that time, my father also thought it was incredible, thinking that he was exaggerating the truth in front of Zaimen, but later I asked the captives privately and learned that this kid really did not exaggerate the facts, so I must believe him, I thought that this kid would be back in a few days. β
When Li Shimin heard Li Yuan's words, he suddenly realized that it was because he was concerned about the chaos, and then Li Shimin settled down and said: "Then pay off the adult, the child will start to prepare all kinds of gifts, once the Chu boy returns to the house, the child will immediately go to his house." β
Li Yuan nodded, turned around and walked towards the study, while Li Shimin went straight to the treasury and began to pick out gifts for Chu Mofeng.
A boat slowly came to the dock outside Jinyang City at this time, and as soon as the ship docked, four people leading horses came down from above, and then two women, one large and one small, came out of the cabin, and after helping the two ashore, the four hired a carriage and hurriedly walked in one direction in the city.
And the people arranged by Li Shimin here saw that the person who got off the boat was Chu Mofeng, and hurriedly rushed back to report, hearing that Chu Mofeng and the others came back safely, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to load the gifts he had prepared, and then walked towards Chu Mansion in a mighty way.
Chu Mofeng, who returned to the mansion, first settled Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter and Yu Wenxiu in the room of the three-cross courtyard, and then everyone returned to their own rooms, and after some washing, they gathered in the main hall, Chu Mofeng told Shi Hanshuang and others all about what happened.
After listening to Chu Mofeng's narration, Mo Ziyao and Shi Hanshuang glanced at each other and said: "Husband, I want to take the time for us to ask for the opinions of Mrs. Chen and Sister Xiu'er, if they want to buy a new house to live in, then we will pay this money, if they are willing to live in the mansion, then the concubine will arrange for someone to clean up the room again, do you think it's okay?"
Chu Mofeng nodded and said, "You and Shuang'er can handle this matter, I won't be too involved too much, oh yes, has Xiao Lizi been here recently?"
"Brother Chu, don't mention it, you have been gone for half a month, and he runs here almost every day, if I didn't know that he had married a wife, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to anyone in the mansion. Hearing Chu Mofeng mention Li Shimin, Chen Jingqing said with a disgusted face.
"It's okay, it seems that this kid has a bit of a conscience, and every time he is given a task, there is always a bunch of trouble. Chu Mofeng heard that Li Shimin came to ask every day because he was worried about himself, and his heart couldn't help but warm, thinking that this person was not the kind of person who was unkind, and he was glad that his father saw people accurately.
At this time, a servant came to report, saying that Li Shimin was waiting outside the gate of the mansion with a few carriages, and Chu Mofeng heard the words and said to everyone: "Cao Cao Cao is here, let's go out to welcome guests together." β
Everyone went out of the mansion together, and as soon as Li Shimin saw Chu Mofeng coming out, he hurriedly ran forward and hugged him and said, "You kid is worried about me, but fortunately you are back, otherwise I would have taken the troops to Mayi to find you." β
Chu Mofeng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time because there was a little episode in the middle, so I came back late, but I brought you a lot of news, let's go to the mansion and talk about it." β
Li Shimin nodded, signaling the servants behind him to lead the carriage to the backyard, while he followed Chu Mofeng towards the main hall......
There is a way that the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country will not be a country, but I don't know that Liu Wuzhou's move to attack Loufu County indirectly achieved a great cause for Li Yuan......
