Chapter 121: Hangtown Gathering
The next morning, everyone got up, and after breakfast, Leng Yuhu said goodbye to Master Fang, and Master Fang asked him to help find Fang Xiaoli's whereabouts, and Leng Yuhu agreed.
Leng Yuhu and his entourage of four people rode on horses, and Song Wang Moth held the deer and walked towards Zhejiang.
Along the way, the dawn of the night, hungry and thirsty, every mountain over the mountain, water across the bridge, not only one day, in the mid-autumn season, the four people have come to Hangzhou City.
It was already afternoon, approaching the gate of Huancui Garden, the gatekeeper recognized it, stood up to meet him, Leng Yuhu and the other four people got off the horse, and the gatekeeper led the horse. Leng Yuhu led the three of them inside, and as soon as he looked up, Zhang Jinhua walked towards him.
Zhang Jinhua was overjoyed when she saw Leng Yuhu walking in, stepped forward and hugged her, and said, "You're back." ”
The brothers were overjoyed to see each other. Leng Yuhu hurriedly introduced Zhang Jinhua: "This is the Ao Han couple, this is the Song Wang Moth sister." He also introduced to Ao Han and the other three: "This is Zhang Jinhua, the first in the world." ”
The two sides met and walked together towards the hall. Zhang Jinhua's wife, Zhang Xizhen, also came over, met each other, and walked in together. Sitting in the hall, the servants offered tea. Only then did I know that Xu Wentao was discussing matters in the Governor's Mansion and was not in the garden. Yang Xiaoxia was practicing archery in the back garden, and when she heard that Leng Yuhu was back, she hurriedly ran from the garden and met Leng Yuhu in the hall. Zhao Yu was painting in his room, at this time he had heard the news, came to the hall, saw Leng Yuhu, sat with Song Wang Moth, heard that she came with Leng Yuhu all the way, the two hit it off at first sight, held hands and talked on the side, very compatible.
After Leng Yuhu recounted his brotherly feelings, he asked, "What friends from the rivers and lakes have come to Hangzhou?"
Zhang Jinhua said: "There are a lot of them. I can't live here, and I am arranged to live in Country Garden, anti-Liangyi swordsmanship Chen Debei and his apprentice Huang Ji, Yin Qingli of Luwa Cottage, Huang Wanli of Tuguanya Cottage, Chen Guofeng of Guodi Lake Cottage, and Liu Xuejun of Cabinet Gate Cottage. This was introduced by Brother Leng, who lived in one place, and who came from other places, lived in another. ”
Leng Yuhu asked, "Have you seen Daoist Xuanyun and her apprentice Fang Xiaoli?"
Zhang Jinhua replied: "Daoist Xuanyun has come here, saying that he is looking for Zhu Yaozu and Fang Xiaoli, and asked us to help find them." ”
After asking friends from all over the world, I began to talk about the situation of the Japanese pirates.
Here, when Zhao Yu saw them talking about the love affair, he took Song Wangmo's slender hand and said goodbye to Leng Yuhu, saying that an osmanthus flower had bloomed in the back garden and he wanted to see the osmanthus. The two walked to the back garden, the fawn followed Song Wang Moth's side, Zhao Yu saw that it was cute, and touched it with his jade hand from time to time, and the fawn was also obedient and let her pet it. When I came to the back garden, the osmanthus really opened, the fragrance was fragrant, and the fragrance wafted from afar.
Here, Zhang Jinhua said in a low voice: "After you leave, Xu Wentao often goes to Miss Zhao's room to play Go, and it is the middle of the night. ”
Leng Yuhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "It's okay too. Looking at Zhang Jinhua, he continued, "There's nothing to do here anyway, and playing chess can kill time." ”
Zhang Jinhua didn't say more.
Leng Yuhu asked: "When I first came out of Hangzhou, I met a Cao Weiyong, I asked him to come to Huancui Garden, is he here?"
Zhang Jinhua said: "On the third day you left, he came, and I heard him say that he was your new apprentice, and I saw that he also had a high level of understanding, so I taught him light skills and some swordsmanship, which was enough for him to defend himself." He came back the other day and asked when you were coming back?"
Leng Yuhu said: "Since he has a high level of understanding, let's teach this apprentice together." ”
Leng Yuhu asked Zhang Jinhua where Cao Weiyong's family lived? Asked a family member to come over and ask him to ask Cao Weiyong to come to Huancui Garden.
After a short time, Cao Wei came in a hurry, saw Leng Yuhu, called out to Master, met with Ao Han and the others, said hello, and finally sat next to Master.
After talking for a while, Xu Wentao has not come back. Leng Yuhu said: "How about we go to Country Garden and meet friends?"
"I can't ask for it. ”
So, Leng Yuhu, Zhang Jinhua and his wife, Yang Xiaoxia, Ao Han and his wife, Cao Weiyong and other seven people went out of Huancuiyuan together. Walking to the street, turning two streets, I saw an iron shop, Leng Yuhu said to Ao Han: "You don't have weapons yet, everyone go to the iron shop and give you a good weapon." ”
The seven people came to the iron shop, discussed it, and decided to give Ao Han a pair of hammers, each weighing forty catties, weighing a total of eighty catties, connected by a long iron chain, to Danmei to play a simple knife, with a long iron handle, weighing sixty catties, in order to deal with the knife, not to allow it to get close. He told the blacksmith the style and weight, and the ironshop took over the big job, pulling the bellows, and rushing to work day and night.
Here, the seven walked through a long street, turned an alley, and walked to Country Garden near the edge of the West Lake. When the gatekeeper saw it, he naturally let seven people in, and when the heroes inside heard that Leng Yuhu was coming, they all poured out together to welcome the seven people in. They sat down in the hall, the servants offered tea, and the heroes sat in the hall to talk.
This Country Garden is really much bigger than Huancui Garden, and the Taihang Cottage brothers and the anti-Liangyi sword mage apprentices live here, and they feel very satisfied. When they saw Leng Yuhu coming back, they all said: "I live here all day, eat and play every day, I just don't fight, my hands are itching, and I am very bored." Now that Brother Leng is back, let's do a good job. ”
Leng Yuhu said: "Of course we have to kill it." What is the purpose of our coming here? Isn't it to kill the Japanese and eliminate harm for the people? ”
When these heroes came to Hangzhou, they also heard a lot of things about the pirates, who not only robbed property, but also killed innocents indiscriminately, and the methods were cruel. These heroes of Taihang Mountain, all holding their breath, just wait for Brother Leng to come back and kill him well.
At this time, it was getting late, and the seven Leng Yuhu were eating in the Country Garden. At night, Leng Yuhu and other seven people said goodbye, and the heroes here were reluctant to give up, and they came to Huancui Garden together. At this time, Xu Wentao also returned to the garden, the two families were in one place, the hall was brightly lit and noisy, and it was very lively.
Xu Wentao talked about the current situation of fighting against Japanese invaders.
It turned out that Leng Yuhu went to Taihang Mountain, where Governor Hu Shangcao and the Japanese also fought a few times, but the officers and soldiers were corrupt, and they fled from the thieves, and they didn't get any cheap. Governor Hu had no choice but to adopt a defensive policy and clear the wilderness, and the Japanese invaders became even more rampant. The imperial court did not know the situation on the frontier, and the ministers impeached Governor Hu, saying that he had connived with the enemy, raised the enemy, and spent military rations in vain, and it was rumored that he would be arrested and brought to justice. Fortunately, the emperor was also wise, but he even issued a holy decree urging him to send troops to fight against the Japanese, and Governor Hu continued to play a chapter to explain the reason for not sending troops, and finally the emperor was also angry and wanted to issue an edict to punish him.
On the second day, Xu Wentao and Leng Yuhu came to see Governor Hu. Governor Hu was very excited, and said loudly: "It's good that Zhao Daxia is back, the emperor has repeatedly urged me to send troops, and he also received a holy decree last night, and he severely reprimanded me." Now that the warships and troops have been deployed, it is a good time to kill the enemy when they see the autumn wind rising. Ten days later, they set out to kill the Japanese invaders. ”
At this time, General Qiping also rushed back from the front line and discussed the specific matters of sending troops in the governor's palace.
The discussion lasted for a long time, and it was not until late afternoon that the discussion was completed. Leng Yuhu and the others stayed in the governor's palace for lunch.
After the meal, Xu Wentao stayed in the governor's palace to discuss matters, and General Qi and Leng Yuhu resigned one after another. Leng Yuhu returned to Huancui Garden alone, all the brothers were waiting for him in the garden, and when they saw him come back, a group of people rushed out and wanted to go to a restaurant on the edge of the West Lake to drink.
