Chapter 925: Out of the Mountain (1)
Huang Yangming sent ten miles, and Liu Xunyi and his party traveled quickly through the mountains and mountains, and the deep forests and forests.
Because Liu Xunyi's injuries had healed and he didn't have to be carried around, coupled with the gradual familiarity with the terrain of the mountains and rivers, they went down the mountain extremely quickly
When going up the mountain, the group walked around the mountain for a full day. Now it only takes two hours to go down the mountain.
At the foot of Changbai Mountain, Yuan Xiao had already arranged for people to wait for the pick-up. As soon as Liu Xunyi and others appeared in the foothills of the town, they immediately changed their clothes, boarded the carriage of the Yuan family, and galloped all the way to Shenzhou.
Along the way, they met many Jianghu people from the Central Plains, including Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, Kongtong and other famous and decent disciples, as well as lonely martial arts masters and green forest heroes from all over the world.
It seems that the news of Liu Xunyi's appearance in the Northeast has spread far and wide, and it has spread widely.
Xun Qin guessed that it was not Jin Jianwu who released this news, but the Kongtong faction.
After all, they only encountered two groups of people after they left the customs, one was Ji Hou and Fuyin, who were ambushed at the Tianyuan Inn, and of course, Tang Afu. The other group was the Kongtong disciples they met in the wilderness of Liaoyang on the eve of their arrival in Shenzhou.
Among them, Kongtong's disciples suffered heavy casualties, which was bound to cause Zhong Limu's monstrous anger, so he no longer kept Liu Xunyi's whereabouts a secret, and simply made it public to vent his anger.
Knowing the approximate scope of Liu Xunyi's appearance, and then following the vine and touching the melons, and inquiring in many ways, it is not difficult for these people to guess that the purpose of Liu Xunyi's trip is very likely to go to the tiger's den Longtan to seek Peach Blossom Mother-in-law for treatment.
Therefore, when Liu Xunyi was far away from Changbai Mountain under the cover of the Yuan family, these people from the rivers and lakes who heard the news from all directions also quickly approached Changbai Mountain like hungry wolves.
Seeing this, Liu Xunyi and others all secretly smacked their tongues, fortunately they went out of the mountain in time, if they were delayed for two more days, the road down the mountain would inevitably be full of dangers and dangers.
I have to say that the power of the Yuan family in Shenzhou in the northeast is indeed good. The carriage of the Yuan family went all the way south with great fanfare, but instead of encountering the slightest obstacle and difficulty, there were people in the city to protect it, and there were people in the towns to escort it.
Whether it is the government officer, the garrison sergeant, the village bully, or the green forest strongman, everyone who sees the banner of the Yuan family is respectful and unhindered.
Of course, some of them are out of fear, and some of them are out of dependence. Most of the people who are afraid are bullies and bandits, and they dare not go against the wealthy Yuan family, for fear of being destroyed by Yuan Xiao. Most of the people who rely on them are officers and soldiers, who take the filial piety silver of the Yuan family every month, and are worried that they will lose their financial routes.
Because of this, Liu Xunyi and his entourage went south to Shenzhou, which can be described as smooth sailing and smooth sailing.
There was nothing for three days, and the seventh day of the first month of November.
In the morning, three carriages entered the boundary of Shenzhou with bells and drums, and stopped outside the gate of Yuan's mansion with a swagger.
At this time, Yuan Xiao, who had already received the news, personally led the slaves' families, and forty or fifty people, large and small, were waiting outside the gate of the mansion.
"Master Yuan, the area around Liaoyang is not peaceful now, you put on such a big pomp to welcome Liu Xunyi, aren't you afraid of dazzling eyes?"
With a question that could not be heard whether it was ridicule or blame, Xun Qin, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, took the lead in getting out of the carriage. Liu Xunyi, Tang Afu, Pan Yuyin, Abaolu and others followed.
"I'm ashamed to say that the eldest lady confessed...... Yuan's mess was a mess. I thought that with a little means, I could drive those uninvited guests back to the gate. Unexpectedly, this group of people were like flies that saw, not only did they linger, but they bombarded more and more. Yuan Xiao looked loveless, and said aggrievedly, "Yuan Mou looks, since the general trend is powerless, then the one acre and three points of land in Shenzhou should always be cleaned." If not, I'm really sorry for the trust and trust of the eldest lady. Therefore, as soon as I received your news, I immediately sent people to put on a few 'good shows' in the city, and the people who made the trouble were panicked, and then I suggested that the Shenzhou government temporarily close the city gate in the name of 'purging the bandits', and that the Shenzhou territory was only allowed to leave and not enter. All the people in the city must be questioned three times, tried five times, and checked ten times, even the people of the city must not slack off, as for those who come from outside...... Whatever the reason, they were all expelled from the city. Even if you go to your relatives or go back to your parents' home, you are not allowed. Therefore, Yuan dared to take his life as a guarantee, there are no suspicious people in Shenzhou City today, not to mention leading people to greet him, even if he beats gongs and drums and sets off firecrackers. Hey hey ......"
"Master Yuan, according to what you said, those uninvited guests are 'flies', but someone Liu has become a ......"
Hearing Liu Xunyi's self-deprecation, Yuan Xiao, who was talking eloquently, suddenly woke up and hurriedly apologized: "Yuan is a rough man, and Liu Daxia is ...... tens of millions of elegant people."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Xiao's voice stopped abruptly. Because he was stunned and dumbfounded by Liu Xunyi, who was in high spirits and in high spirits.
As everyone knows, Liu Xunyi he saw half a month ago was still dying and dying. At that time, although Yuan Xiao kept saying that "it is better to be famous than to meet", he was actually a little lost in his heart.
After all, in the rumors he heard, even if Liu Xunyi did not have three heads and six arms, and two feet, he should not be a sick man who could not help but be weak.
However, when Yuan Xiao saw Liu Xunyi today, the difference between the two would inevitably make it difficult for him to accept it for a while. The posture is like a gun, the eyes are like a torch, the speech and demeanor are full of charm, and the line is full of tiger and tiger.
Until this moment, Yuan Xiao finally understood why Xun Qin was full of confidence in Liu Xunyi. If nothing else, just talking about his dignified appearance and dignified body, it is enough to shame how many men in the world.
"Liu Daxia, there is a saying that 'Shibei should be impressed for three days'. Yuan almost didn't recognize it just now, are you really ...... today What a ......."
Yuan Xiao looked at Liu Xunyi, who was smiling and silent, and for a while his throat was jerky, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing that Yuan Xiao was sometimes arrogant and incoherent, Xun Qinliu raised his eyebrows, and teased him in his words: "Master Yuan, we have just dismounted, and you have been gushing so many emotions. Could it be that you are worried that I will hold you accountable for your misdeeds?"
"Don't dare!Don't dare!" Yuan Xiao looked furious, and hurriedly defended, "The eldest lady and Liu Daxia deigned to come, the humble house was shining, and the Yuan family was even more honored. ”
"Alright, alright!" Abaoru interrupted rather impatiently, "How is the errand assigned by the eldest lady?"
"Don't worry, the eldest lady has already inquired about Su He's whereabouts. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin's eyes lit up at the same time, and they asked in unison, "Where is he?"
"I don't know. ”
"Don't know?"
"It was not the disciples of the Yuan family who inquired about the news, but the people of Taizhou Hongfu. Yuan Xiao smiled bitterly, "The eldest lady should know the temper of Hong Temple, and she will never know how to be flexible." He said that it was an errand ordered by the eldest lady to inquire about Su He's news, so he had to return to the eldest lady in person. No matter how much I asked, he just wouldn't let go. ”
"What's the board at a glance, it's obviously afraid that you will steal the credit. Abaoru sneered.
"Maybe!" Yuan Xiao pouted helplessly, "It doesn't matter! I have summoned all the heads of the four mansions in Shangjing, let them meet the eldest lady, and by the way, meet Liu Daxia." ”
"Where are they?"
"Last night, I arrived in the Mansion one after another, and now I ...... Still sleeping. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be suspicious. The news of the inquiry by Taizhou Hongfu refused to tell Yuan Xiao. Today, the Yuan family Xingshi greeted Xun Qin in a crowd, but the other three mansions were sleeping, as if they knew very little about this matter.
Thinking about it this way, the legendary "Four Mansions in Beijing" is not a monolith, but each has its own thoughts and beware of each other.
"Send someone to call up, I want to catch up with them. ”
"Miss, Liu Daxia, please enter the house and rest!"
After greetings, Yuan Xiao ordered someone to pass the word to the other three family heads, and then personally led Xun Qin and Liu Xunyi towards the middle hall.
In terms of scale, the Yuan Mansion is not grand, at least it cannot be compared with the Xianwang Mansion in Luoyang, the Qin Mansion in Xijing, and the Lu Mansion in Quanzhou. But when it comes to pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, exquisite intentions can be seen everywhere in the house.
The big mansion with five entrances inside and out, the left road is up, and most of the people living in the Yuan family are relatives and cronies. On the right side is the bottom, where the domestic servants and foreign guests live. From the front to the back of the middle road, there are the front hall, the middle hall, the inner hall, the study room and the ancestral hall. The halls and wings in the mansion are scattered and well-laid out, so that even those who visit Yuan's mansion for the first time can quickly become familiar with them.
The middle hall is the largest building in Yuan's mansion, and it is also the place where Yuan Xiao "dispatches troops", which can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people at a time.
Yuan Xiao first led Xun Qin, Liu Xunyi and others to the side hall to rest, and waited for them to drink three cups of tea before the next person hurriedly came to pass.
"Eldest Lady, Liu Daxia, the three heads of the family have arrived, you see ......"
"It's all your own people, you don't have to pretend to be profound, let's go out!"
"Miss Mingjian, please!"
As he spoke, Yuan Xiao led Xun Qin and his entourage out of the side hall and into the middle hall of the longing and boiling sky.
At this moment, there are at least fifty or sixty centaurs in the middle hall, and judging from their dress, they are obviously divided into three different forces.
Among them, people dressed in green clothes mostly carried long spears, people dressed in black mostly wore short stumps, and people dressed in gray clothes wore long cloth leggings.
In addition, there are also some people who carry waist knives and look in blue, they are disciples of the Yuan family.
Although these people come from different forces, they seem to know each other very well. Instead of having the slightest sense of rustiness, on the contrary, they hooked their shoulders in groups and called them brothers.
These people are like a plate of loose sand, gathered together in a scattered manner, and laughing and scolding unscrupulously. The voices of dozens of people mingled in a chaotic manner, turning into a kind of "buzzing" cacophony.
The shouting, the bragging, the lifting, the fighting...... Lazy and casual like a rabble, all rude to speak of.
Interestingly, only three of the fifty or sixty people in the hall were sitting upright, closing their eyes and pretending to sleep, while the rest were all standing.
It wasn't that there were only three chairs in the hall, but that only three of them were qualified to sit in the hall.
"Ahem!"
With a cough, Yuan Xiao, whose face sank like water, was the first to appear in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the three people sitting on the chairs raised their eyelids one after another, and waved their hands at the same time, and the disciples under their command closed their mouths one after another, and the noise in the hall gradually died down, and there was no sound in the blink of an eye.
"The king of Shaoqin has issued three orders and five reaffirmations, although the four prefectures in Shangjing are narrow, they cannot let the barbarians go unchecked. The rules you've been taught all these years are not for dogs to eat?"
