Chapter Seventy-Three: Smoke and Rain (1)
Several people had to go to Hangzhou with Tie Lang, Tie Lang used Wu Muhou's power for the first time, he ordered Lu Huichun and Qingfei to take Hua Yuwu back to the northwest, one is to investigate the whole story of the incident in Jingbian Village, and then to find out the whereabouts of Qingque; and Xu Hu still went back to Kaifeng when Kaifeng stopped, one is to wait for those gold, silver and jewelry to be shipped out, and the other is to find out the whereabouts of Wu Musi's arsenal.
And Tie Lang wanted to go to Kaifeng to see if the red sleeves had found Ma Munan, whether he found it or not, he had to rush to Hangzhou as soon as possible, because many of Wu Musi's answers were waiting for him there.
Shaolin Temple, still cigarette smoke, Sanskrit sound fluttering, Tie Lang farewell to everyone and still go down from the east peak, only to turn a few corners, then see Zhihao monk and Bixu standing smiling at the spacious place of the stone steps.
Although Tie Lang didn't like Buddhism very much, he didn't have any ill will towards this big monk, so he hurriedly stepped forward to see the salute, and said in his heart No wonder he didn't see this old monk come out to say goodbye, but he was waiting here.
The great monk still looked at Tie Lang with a smile and said, "Iron donor, the old man brought a little Taoist friend to see you off."
Tie Lang hurriedly saluted: "Thank you master, the kid is immoral and incompetent, and the old master sent it personally."
Zhihao laughed and said: "The old man just wants to understand the donor's bias towards the Buddhist family"
Tie Lang panicked in his heart, and said in his heart, can this great monk really understand people's hearts, if he really has this ability, and then he deduces that there is no bias, wouldn't he lose his bearing, so he smiled lightly and said: "The kid is vigorous, I don't understand why the world will avoid the world, and ask the master to solve the doubts."
Master Zhihao gently stroked his snow-white beard and said: "Donor, tigers, leopards and jackals are fierce, and they often enter the belly of the mouth in the end;
Tie Lang pondered for a long time and said: "Thank you for the master's guidance, it's just that I have been trusted by thousands of predecessors, and I have parents who have not known grievances, and I can only die bravely in the country, the people and myself" I thought in my heart, and my Nanmei's whereabouts are unknown, how can I have a Buddha heart.
Master Zhihao sighed and said: "What is so difficult to die, it is difficult not to die"
Bixu saw that Master Zhihao sighed and also saluted: "Brother Tie, you will be wrong about the master's intentions, no matter the so-called escape of Buddhism is just a place for those who need to escape from the world, the master expects you to have a difficult future, so he wants to tell you, the strongest place must have weaknesses, weak for a long time also becomes strong, strong and weak can not be tolerated, there is a pure land outside the world"
Master Zhihao touched Bixu's head and smiled: "You little Taoist friend, the old man can't hide it from you."
Tie Lang chewed Bixu's words, and said solemnly: "Tie Lang thanks the two masters for mentioning something" and then gently stroked Bixu's hair bun and chuckled: "No matter what Buddhism you do, you will have great success in the future."
Master Zhihao saw that Tie Lang also went to touch Bixu, so he pulled Bixu behind him and said: "Donor, go here and be cautious" This is afraid that Tie Lang will rob Bixu, and he wants to go to Tie Lang quickly.
Tie Lang couldn't help but laugh and said: "The master is so narrow-minded, I will still rob people, so I will leave."
At the end of April, in the Shaomu Mountain, the shade of the trees is new, and the wind blows on the face very comfortably, but the clothes on Tie Lang's body are still bought in Miaochuan City, and he is in a hurry to buy new clothes along the way, and he is drenched in sweat when he goes down to the mountain, and he thinks that he has to buy a few summer clothes in Kaifeng.
Turning around the foot of a mountain, a few magpies chirped, Tie Lang saw a yellow cedar girl coming in front of him, and it was Ma Munan's appearance, and he couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Nanmei"
The yellow cedar girl heard Tie Lang's shout, and after looking up, she couldn't help but be happy: "Tie Gongzi, I was afraid that I would miss you, but I met you here" It was the red sleeves.
Tie Lang's heart was empty, and he couldn't help but be stunned, the red sleeves had already trotted over, carrying a package in his hand, which was the summer clothes she had bought for Tie Lang in Kaifeng City.
When Tie Lang saw Red Sleeves alone, he knew that Red Sleeves had not been able to find out where Ma Mu Nan was in Kaifeng, but he was a little unwilling to ask in his heart: "Is there any news of Nanmei?"
Red Sleeves said with a gloomy expression: "There is no news of Sister Ma, there is no news in the entire Kaifeng City, but I see that Kaifeng City is wanted by Ma Kongyuan Ma seniors"
Tie Lang nodded and said: "It's okay if there is no news, it means that Nan Mei was not arrested by the forbidden army" But he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Red Sleeves saw that Tie Lang was sweating down his cheeks, so he took out the single clothes in the package and shook them: "Childe, I bought you a few single clothes in Kaifeng, and I don't know if it is suitable or not."
Tie Lang's body was hot, so he smiled and said: "It's better than this on me" and went around the depths of the woods to change his clothes, and when he came back, he saw Red Sleeves sitting on the stones on the side of the mountain road, and from time to time he used his hand to touch the clear water of the roadside stream.
Tie Lang saw that Red Sleeves was distracted, so he thought that the girl must be homesick, so he went over and said: "Red Sleeves, Nanmei won't be able to find it for a while, you go back to Broken Jade Village first, and when I find Nanmei, I will definitely take it to see you."
Red Sleeves slowly turned his head to look at Tie Lang and said, "Childe, if I can't find Sister Ma, I won't go back, I'll always follow you."
Tie Lang saw that her eyes were about to turn red again, so he felt that his scalp was a little numb, for fear that she would cry again, so he said: "Okay, I was going to Kaifeng to see, but now since you haven't found any news in Kaifeng, then I will go straight to Hangzhou, if you go with me, then we will set off."
Red Sleeves turned from worry to joy and said: "Thank you, Son", for the naughty blessing.
Tie Lang walked a few steps and remembered something: "I gave my horse to Brother Hua, how many more are we entangled in, we have to buy a horse to hurry"
Red Sleeves smiled but didn't speak, until Tie Lang went down to Shaomu Mountain and arrived on the official road, and saw a horseman driving a very luxurious carriage waiting under the big tree on the official road, and he understood that Red Sleeves had already prepared, and although he was very young, he was really good at taking care of daily life, and everything was expected to be ahead.
The handlebar type is about 50 years old, quite strong, and even more proficient in driving, and in a short time, the carriage was driven to Jeju Province. This is the best route recommended by the handlebar to go south, from Jeju you can abandon your horse and take a boat all the way south to Hangzhou.
Red Sleeves was very satisfied with the handlebar style, and even the carriage was given to him, and the handlebar style's happy eyes narrowed into slits, and this luxurious carriage was worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver, so he didn't want to ask for any more commission, and Red Sleeves still took ten taels of silver and threw it to him before getting on the boat.
Tie Lang frowned and said: "I came out of the Nine Heavens Valley with an empty bag, and later Brother Bai sent some silver taels, and most of them were taken by Nanmei, I don't know how many plates you brought out of Broken Jade Village, we still have to save some, and if you can't eat later, you are still not so generous."
Red Sleeves pursed his lips and said yes with a smile, but he pulled the package around him to the side, and said in his heart If Tie Gongzi knew that there were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in my package, I don't know if he would be so stingy.
The boat left the shore from the Poshi Bridge, about forty miles east of Jeju Prefecture, and entered Namyang Lake that night.
Red Sleeves still pursed her lips and smiled silently, it turned out that this ship was hired by her for a hundred taels of gold, in addition to a dozen boatmen on the ship, there were also two or three cooks, all of whom were specially designed to serve the two of them, Tie Lang had too little experience after all, although it was strange, but he didn't think much about it.
Red sleeves ate and drank on the boat with Tie Lang every day, and Tie Lang praised the four-nosed carp in Weishan Lake for being delicious, and the four-nosed carp was eaten all the way to the Huaiyang River. At first, Tie Lang felt that Red Sleeves was always a surprise when doing things, but over time he got used to it.
