A banquet will inevitably come with some excitement and return disappointed.

Long Shaoyang was stupid and returned to the Cloud Pavilion, it was past noon, and he walked alone on the streets of Los Angeles, only to see pedestrians bustling, as usual lively, somehow, he had a sense of loss. Although the scene of the love party will come sooner or later, when it really comes, there are still ripples in my heart. Who knows that the heart is dustless, dust is the heart, and there is no heart and dust, all are dust. How many people have done it?

After a short time, only listen to the horse's hooves, seven or eight horses galloping forward, the speed is very fast, everyone sees the group of horses menacing, have to dodge, on both sides of the street has not had time to put away fruits, groceries and other stalls, horses hit the hooves under the step, sprinkled all over the ground, when the horses neighed and shouted, a mess.

This time it became hasty, Long Shaoyang was startled, and stared at it. I saw that the rider on the horse had a beard, a round neck, narrow sleeves, leather belt boots, and a foreign Hu costume. Most of the people immediately carried large packages, bulging bags, apparently full of things. This group of riders turned a blind eye to the embarrassment of everyone, and had no intention of slowing down, and several riders actually laughed loudly and amused each other, and in a burst of black smoke and miasma, this group of people had already left.

When Long Shaoyang saw this, he couldn't help but be angry, and said in his heart: "How can this group of people be so ridiculous, in my capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, they are actually rampage, so they don't know how to be polite?" and thought again: "This group of people is in a hurry, and they are immediately full of packages, but they don't know what is inside?"

Only the audience gossiped and discussed:

"I really hit bad luck today, I was almost trampled by the horse's hooves, but fortunately I hid quickly, otherwise I am an old bone, I am afraid that I will go to see Yan Lao Wu. ”

"It's a pity that my steamed rice cakes just out of the pot have been ruined by this group of kings and eight lambs, who am I going to reason, woo woo ......"

"Let's go to Lord Jing Zhaoyin and reason with him. ”

"He dares to take these Northern Wei and Western Liang people as a method? Come on, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Western Liang have crossed the border and looted several times over the years, and the imperial court has not dared to send troops?"

"These militaristic affairs, how can we small people have the final say, save your worries. Bear with me, saying that these envoys will leave for China tomorrow. ”

"I heard that they have been busy procuring goods for the past two days, silk cloth, brocade, porcelain, these things are very in demand in their place. ”

......

Hearing this, Long Shaoyang already understood in his heart: It turned out that this group of people was an envoy of various countries, and they were about to leave tomorrow, and the packages were filled with purchased items to return to China, but this group of people behaved like this, which really damaged the image of a country. If you find an opportunity in the future, you will teach them a lesson. Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the county lord Zizi who had left Beijing a few days ago, and thought that she was still on the way back to Wu, Luocheng Wucheng is not the end of the world, but it is better than the end of the world, I don't know when I can see each other again after this farewell?

The next morning, as soon as Long Shaoyang got up, he faintly heard a commotion outside, followed by the sound of firecrackers, crackling and crackling. Just as he was thinking about going to the door to take a look, he saw Cheng Bo walk in slowly, and asked what happened in the city.

Cheng Bo said with a smile: "What's the matter, it's noisy Gongzi?" It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xiliang to leave Beijing at the North Gate today, and the eldest young master rushed to prepare for the honor guard early in the morning. He was worried about his son, so he let the old slave come back first. "Let's light the tobacco leaves and smoke dry tobacco.

Long Shaoyang smiled to himself, this matter was originally known when he came back from Guiyun Pavilion yesterday, thinking that it had nothing to do with him, he didn't pay attention to it. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a servant walk into the room, followed by an eight or nine-year-old child, whose hair was combed into two buns on the left and right, such as the two corners of the head, wearing a hundred family clothes and trousers on the bottom, looking like an ordinary person's family.

The servant gave a salute and said, "Young Master Long, just now this child did not leave in front of the main courtyard, saying that there was a letter to be handed over to the son by hand, and the housekeeper saw that it was a child, so he ordered the villain to bring him." As he spoke, he turned to the boy and said, "This is the dragon boy you are looking for." ”

The boy glanced at Long Shaoyang, ran forward, raised his hand, handed over a letter, and said, "You are Long Gongzi?" Just now on the street corner, a sister in a red shirt gave me two taels of silver, and asked me to give this letter to a son surnamed Long, saying that you live in this Xiao Mansion. With that, he stuffed the letter into Long Shaoyang's hand, and without waiting for him to answer, he turned around and ran away.

"A woman in a red shirt?" Long Shaoyang realized a little, and saw that the envelope was written "Long Gongzi personally opened", and his heart was happy: "It's the same trick again, I don't know what your idea is this time?"

"Yesterday, we met in a hurry, and I said goodbye in a hurry; ”

The handwriting is delicate and familiar, and she thinks in her heart: I think it is for the matter of returning to the Cloud Pavilion yesterday, and it is good to see her again, and let her know that she has made up her mind. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly wanted to be hit hard by something, and he reached out to grab it, but there was no trace, and he always felt that something was blocked in his chest, but he was vague and unpredictable.

At that moment, Long Shaoyang put the letter in his arms, stood up, and said, "Uncle Cheng, I want to go out to do something, please take care of it at home." ”

Cheng Bo took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Son, go about your own business." This kind of day, basking in the sun in the corner of the wall, smoking dry tobacco, and squinting for a while, it is the best, and the race against the living immortals!" stood up, patted his clothes, and swayed away.

Long Shaoyang smiled, ate two bites briefly, changed into new clothes, and went to the backyard to pick a horse, then whipped the horse and went straight to Tianjie to return to Yunge.

It was the morning market, and the streets were crowded with people.

Long Shaoyang rode forward, passing by a street entrance, and at a glance, he saw a young man in Chinese clothes riding a horse at the other end of the street dozens of zhang away, and his heart moved: "What a familiar figure, it seems that I have seen it somewhere." It was as if my heart had been hit by something again, and the unstable mood suddenly arose, and I slowed down my reins at the moment, thinking: "What's wrong with me today, I'm restless, and I'm in a trance, it can't be because I didn't sleep well last night." He looked up into the distance, steadied his mind, clamped his legs, and galloped towards the heavenly street.

Turning a neighborhood, I came to the top of the Heavenly Street, and the Guiyun Pavilion in the distance was already in sight. Long Shaoyang's face was happy, seeing the flow of people, shuttling back and forth, he was afraid that the horse would gallop and hurt the pedestrians on the street, so he turned over and dismounted, held the bridle, and walked slowly. Before coming to Guiyun Pavilion, looking around, the hour was still early, but when I saw the pedestrians on the street, you came and went, the small merchants and hawkers shouted loudly, but the door panel in the pavilion behind them was wide open, and the two cousins were busy cleaning up the tables and chairs, placing the dishes and chopsticks, where is the shadow of Miss Zhujia?

Long Shaoyang was not in a hurry, he glanced back at the private room facing the street on the second floor, only to see that the window was closed, and a thought suddenly surged in his chest: She arrived early in the pavilion yesterday, why didn't she see her today? Yes, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not more than an idler than me, I think there is something to delay, anyway, I have nothing to do today, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer. Now stroke the mane on the horse's neck and wait with peace of mind.

After about an hour, no one was seen. After a long time, I saw that the sun was already high, and the pedestrians and traders on the street were crowded, becoming more and more crowded. Long Shaoyang knew that the hour was not early, he looked left and right, but he still didn't see anyone? Rao is he calm and calm, and he couldn't help but be restless in his heart, whether to stay or go, thinking left and right, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Just hesitating, suddenly heard a few gongs on the right "Dangdang", deep and majestic, the voice stopped, someone shouted loudly: "Pedestrians listen, pick up the peak order, the map of the military machine hall was stolen early this morning, and now the whole city is arresting the suspect, if you find someone with suspicious deeds, you must quickly report to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion." Those who have made meritorious contributions in solving the case will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. ”

Long Shaoyang turned his head and followed the prestige, and three or four officials in the distance formed a row and swaggered along the street. I saw that the yamen were all carrying big knives at their waists, with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, looking fierce and vicious. In the middle, a man holds a gong in one hand and a qi in the other, and the shout is obviously from his mouth.

Seeing this situation, everyone avoided it one after another, and made way for it, but in private, they exchanged ears and whispered about what the lost map was, which actually attracted a reward of 1,000 taels. Long Shaoyang knew that the map of the military machine hall in the mouth of the official was called "Imperial Territory Map", which was a map of Kyushu Wanfang jointly drawn by the generals of the four pillars after the founding emperor Gao of this dynasty was established.

The generals of the Four Great Pillars went to war everywhere, and combined all kinds of marching maps on weekdays into one place, including the location, direction, and size of the mountains, rivers, plains, lakes, and cities of the Great Qi, Northern Wei, Xiliang, and Eastern Wu Kingdoms, and drew them on a silk silk, named "Imperial Territory Map". Since the completion of the draft, it has been of great benefit to the governance of the country and the march and war, and has always been regarded as a treasure of the country and collected in the military aircraft hall. The military aircraft hall is the place where important matters of the military aircraft are discussed, and it has always been heavily guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass.

Hearing that the treasure map was stolen, Long Shaoyang was taken aback, and thought: "This map is very important, over the years, the national strength of Daqi has gradually declined, although there is constant friction on the border of the north and west, and there are occasional incidents, Daqi has not suffered a loss, it is really taking advantage of the map." If it is snatched away by the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Western Liang Dynasty, there will be no secret about the mountainous terrain and military layout of the Great Qi, no matter who takes it away, it will be like a tiger with wings, once the war starts, how can the officers and soldiers of the Great Qi be the enemy again?"

Then he thought again: "The military machine hall is heavily defended, even if it is the best in the world, it is not sure that it can enter freely and not be detected, not to mention that the map must be placed in a hidden place on weekdays, if the thief does not follow the map, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch it." It has been safe and sound for decades, why is it suddenly stolen today?"

Looking down and thinking about it, he suddenly felt a hard object on his chest, and Long Shaoyang reached out and felt it, it was the letter sent by the child. I felt that my heart moved, and I sent the unsealed place of the letter to my nose, lightly clamped my fingers, opened a slit at the opening, and sniffed it lightly twice...... At this moment, the words "divert the tiger from the mountain and plant the blame" flashed in front of him like a bright light, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and Long Shaoyang secretly screamed: "Oh, it's too bad, I'm afraid that I'll fall into someone else's trap!"

When he turned over and got on his horse, he didn't care about the crowds on the street, he clamped his legs and galloped towards the way he came.
