Chapter 141: A Nightmare on the Way Home
Cheng Xiaoban turned his head to Xu Wentao and said, "Mr. Xu, you sit down for a while." ”
The two went into another room. In this room, the two officials came over to greet Xu Wentao enthusiastically, and sat on the stool with his hand. Xu Wentao put down the big package on his back. The three of them sat together, whispering gossip without saying a word.
At first, I could hear the laughter and whispers in the side room, but after a while, I couldn't hear anything, I don't know what they were doing in the back room, what were they talking about?
Xu Wentao had to wait outside.
Suddenly, a slight cry of pleasure was heard from the side room, and after a while, there seemed to be no sound. After another meal, the voices in the side room finally rang out again. heard the sound of laughter, and then heard Cheng Xiaoban shouting:
"Mr. Xu, come in. ”
Xu Wentao picked up the big package and walked into another room with his feet raised. This is a delicately furnished house, burning incense, fragrant mist, the shelves are full of Qin Ding Zhou Yi, antique. There is a picture of Magu offering his birthday on the wall, and under the picture is a big table of eight immortals, the old housekeeper is sitting on a Taishi chair next to the table, looking tired, and Cheng Xiaoban is pinching his pink fist beside him and beating him on the back. There seemed to be another strange smell wafting through the house.
Xu Wentao stepped forward and met the master housekeeper, the two sides said a few polite words, Xu Wentao presented the big package on his back to the master and put it on the table of the eight immortals. The housekeeper opened the big package with one hand, looked sideways twice, and then said to Xu Wentao:
"Mr. Xu, please be seated. ”
Xu Wentao thanked him, sat sideways on a chair on the side, and peeked at Cheng Xiaoban, there was a small room behind Cheng Xiaoban, and there was a curtain hanging on the door.
The housekeeper said: "Mr., I told me about it, this is a tricky matter, this is a case approved by the emperor, if you want to overturn the case, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky!"
Xu Wentao hurriedly stood up, arched his back with his chest, bowed his head on his shoulders, and said, "Master Wanwang bothered!"
The housekeeper said, "Mr. Xu, please take a seat." He stroked Cheng Xiaoban's white and tender jade hand with his hand, and said, "Who let Xiaoban come to visit me, I'll think of a way for you, if you can't do it, you can't blame me." ”
Xu Wentao stood up, bent over, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, let the master worry about this matter." ”
The butler raised his hand and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Xu Wentao paused and said, "The master is busy, so I won't bother." ”
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Sir, this is not wrong, I entered the mansion, and I have been so busy that I don't even bother to drink tea." Sir, please go back first, your business, in a few days, I will give you a letter, whether it will work out or not, you don't have great hopes. ”
Xu Wentao thanked him, and then said goodbye, the housekeeper didn't stay, and he didn't lift his body, Xu Wentao walked out of the room backwards. The two people in the outhouse saw that Xu Wentao had done something, and they both showed envy.
Cheng Xiaoban didn't come out, and Xu Wentao had to walk out of Yanfu step by step from the original road.
Xu Wentao walked to the street and looked back at the Yan Mansion, the tall gatehouse blocked the deep and mysterious Yan Mansion behind, and the people outside really couldn't imagine what kind of world it was inside?
Xu Wentao sat in the car, walked to the teahouse, met Leng Yuhu and the two, sat and drank tea for a while, and everyone got into the car and went separately.
Sure enough, three or four days later, the good news came that Hu Shangcao was reinstated. A shocking case that shook the whole country was easily overturned, and Hu Shangcao was no longer a traitor who everyone was punished, but became a loyal minister in the southeast. Emperor Jiajing issued a special decree and sent his officials to escort Hu Shangcao back to Hangzhou with a cart and a team of men.
Governor Hu Shangcao temporarily lived in the mansion, and the torture wounds on his body were slowly recuperated, and several groups of officials came to visit him every day, and there was an endless stream, and the courtyard was very lively.
After a few days of excitement, Governor Hu came to the housekeeper's house one night, led by Cheng Xiaoban, and took out the treasure to thank him for saving his life. This is Xu Wentao deliberately took out of the package and kept it for tonight.
The housekeeper said to Governor Hu: "After Lord Hu arrives in Zhejiang, please pay attention to a copy of the Book of Immortals. ”
Hu Shangcao looked puzzled: "I haven't heard of the Book of Immortals." ”
The housekeeper said: "The Book of Immortals has now appeared in the rivers and lakes, and it is making a lot of noise, but Lord Hu will not know?"
"I really don't know. ”
"Well, even if you don't know. The emperor is now pursuing immortality, if Lord Hu can present the "Immortal Sutra", isn't this a great achievement?"
"Yes. I must do it with all my heart. ”
"You have to hurry. Now all the people in Beijing have gone to the rivers and lakes, looking for the "Book of Immortals" everywhere. Jin Yiwei has obtained two volumes, but they are both fake. If you can enter the true scriptures, Master Hu will have to take a step forward, and the future is immeasurable! I am afraid that when the time comes, Lord Hu will not recognize us people. ”
"The grace of saving lives is unforgettable!"
Led by the housekeeper, he went to thank Yan Song, the minister of power. Yan Song sat on the leisurely chair and said a few words of encouragement to Governor Hu, asking him to go to Zhejiang to care about the emperor, do a good job for the people, fight against the Japanese invaders, and Jingning Haijiang.
Here, Xu Wentao and others went to Zhou Fuhua's house to thank them. Zhou Fuhua originally wanted to keep Leng Yuhu and others in the capital for a while longer, but they insisted on returning to the south, and the two sides had to go back and forth for a few days and say goodbye.
In the end, the officials also sent a cart and more than 20 soldiers to escort Governor Hu to Hangzhou.
Xu Wentao wanted to accompany Governor Hu all the way back to the south. Because Song Wang Moth wanted to return to his hometown to pay tribute to his family, Leng Yuhu and Zhang Jinhua accompanied her and came all the way to the southwest.
Leng Yuhu and the two followed Song Wang Mo to a countryside in Hebei Province. The Song family's house has collapsed because it has been uninhabited for a long time, with ruins and rubble, weeds growing more than one person high, swaying in the winter wind, and a flock of crows falling on a tall tree with stripped leaves behind the house.
Song Wang Moth was already in tears. She walked around the dilapidated house, walked to the back of the house from the right, behind the house was a bleak barren forest, with fallen leaves everywhere, and stepped on the fallen leaves, and came to the depths of the woods, where there were five deserted graves, buried in the family of Song Wang Moth, who had been killed by tolerance.
With tears in his eyes, Song Wang Moth walked to the grave and knelt on the ground, already crying. Leng Yuhu helped to place various sacrifices in front of the grave. Song Wang Moth knelt in front of the grave, the winter scene was depressed, the cold wind was miserable, she thought that her father was killed first, and now she didn't even find the body, she was robbed into the Yan Mansion, almost went and didn't return, and then the whole family died tragically, she wandered the rivers and lakes, at a young age, she suffered a lot, thinking of this, sadness came from it, she cried loudly, and almost fainted.
After a long time, the cry turned into a choked voice, Leng Yuhu stepped forward to stroke her back, and said softly: "Don't be too sad, be careful of crying and breaking your body." ”
Under the help of Leng Yuhu, Song Wang Mo stood up, leaned back against Leng Yuhu, looked at the grave and said, "Don't worry, when I learn swordsmanship, I will avenge you." ”
Leng Yuhu and Zhang Jinhua accompanied Song Wang Moth, left Song's hometown, and came to the southeast.
This night, I stayed in a small restaurant in the countryside. At night, the north wind kept blowing the broken paper of the window, whining, getting colder and colder, and Leng Yuhu only fell asleep dimly in the second half of the night.
Unconsciously warmed up, gradually floated up, floated out of the house, flew into the air, fluttering, flew straight ahead, flew over thousands of rivers and mountains, Leng Yuhu suddenly saw a high mountain in front of him, and he flew to the mountain. Leng Yuhu felt that he was flying up and down, and suddenly found that he was a big butterfly, only to feel that there was a sea of flowers in front of him, all kinds of flowers, colorful, fragrant and refreshing, and the weather was exceptionally warm, lazy. Leng Yuhu was flying among the flowers, and suddenly thought that this mountaintop was the top of the mountain that he had been to before he and Ye Mucui entered the Tuguanya cottage, and the two of them had been sitting here side by side until it was dark, and the scenery here had not changed, a grass and a tree, a flower and a stone, all of which were what they were at that time.
Just thinking like this, I saw a big flower butterfly flying in front of me, also fluttering among the flowers. She flew closer, and when she saw her face, it was Ye Mucui.
Leng Yuhu turned into a butterfly, and Ye Mucui was also a butterfly, this is good! The two butterflies are flying freely among the flowers, not to mention how happy they are!
Two butterflies were flying lingeringly, but when he saw another butterfly flying, Leng Yuhu tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't see the face of this butterfly clearly, he just felt that his butterfly wings had become heavy, and he wanted to fly but couldn't fly. He was busy flapping his wings hard, but the butterfly hugged Ye Mucui and flew towards the cliff on the other side. Leng Yuhu was in a hurry, waved his wings and flew away, flew to the side of the cliff, and saw Ye Mucui following the butterfly and flying towards another mountain peak.
Leng Yuhu suddenly felt that his body was heavy, he couldn't move his wings, and his body sank straight to the bottom of the cliff. Leng Yuhu instinctively used the light skills of the Wudang Sword Sect, kicked his legs, only heard the sound of "coo", his body hurt, he opened his eyes urgently, and it was dark everywhere. Leng Yuhu calmed down, and a little light came out from a distance, and he found that he was lying on the ground, the ground was cold, and he was still in the hotel, and the cold wind outside the window was still blowing, whining.
It turned out to be a dream of Nanke!
