Volume 1 Yu Chudu Chapter 18 Woe to Xiao Wall
Yu Wendi wanted to see how she was, so he didn't shirk anymore. The two of them only smiled freely during the banquet, and did not mention the treasure of King Yue. After three rounds of drinking, the lady of the silver snake was in great spirits, and turned to her subordinates and ordered, "Go and invite Miss Niannu to come, and cheer up this feast." The servant hurriedly agreed. Mrs. Silver Snake turned around and smiled at Yu Wendi: "Girl, I don't know, although my cottage is a remote village, there is one thing that the inner garden of the palace is not as good as, that is, the dance music of this slave. ”
But after a cup of tea, I only heard someone outside the hall say loudly: "Miss Niannu is here." As soon as the words fell, I saw a young girl walk in, with a graceful posture, like a weak willow supporting the wind. When she approached, Yuwendi saw that this girl was the same girl who had picked her up in the middle of the road before.
Mrs. Silver Snake smiled: "Nian slave, come up and have a glass of wine, it's not too late to sing." The girl smiled coquettishly and said, "Mrs. Xie's kindness." There are guests here, Rong Niannu dances a song first, and cheers up the lady and distinguished guests. Nian slave sacrificed ugly. After saying that, he blessed the two of them, turned around and danced. The dance is graceful and elegant, like a shock. The song is tactful and melodious, as clear as a warbler's cry. Everyone in the hall was overwhelmed by her amazing dance music and secretly admired it.
After a dance, Mrs. Silver Snake clapped her hands and smiled. Lady Silver Snake ordered her to sit at the banquet, and the three of them drank the jade liquid together.
After a few more drinks, Yu Wendi was secretly worried about Liu Si's injury, and wanted Mrs. Silver Snake to lead the two of them here, but he didn't know what the whereabouts of King Yue's treasure intended, so he said: "Madame invited me and the two of us to come to Guizhai, I don't know what happened? What is the current situation of my Fourth Uncle Liu?" Mrs. Silver Snake smiled: "Girl don't have to worry too much, Mr. Liu is recuperating and resting in our place." The two of them went to my Silver Snake Village, eating, drinking and playing, and they all obeyed the convenience. If you have already come, please be safe. Seeing that she refused to tell the truth, Yu Wendi had entered the tiger's den and could only live to death, so he said bluntly: "If Madame wants to get the treasure of King Yue, she is really looking for the wrong person." Besides, the wine and meat in Guizhai are sufficient, and there is more than silk, and the treasure of the king of Yue is wanted by everyone, and the people who grab the treasure often attack and kill each other. ”
Mrs. Silver Snake smiled lightly when she heard this, raised her wine glass and said, "Today's distinguished guests are coming to the door, and they should fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Come, let's fill this cup. As he spoke, he drank the wine with his head held high. Naturally, the Nian Nu also drank a cup, but he was not strong enough to drink, and after a while, his face was crimson and his eyes were blurred. After Yu Wendi took a drink, he got up and said, "Thank you, Madame, I have a very shallow amount of wine, so I can't accompany you." When Mrs. Silver Snake saw her like this, she didn't care, and said with a smile: "The girl is at her own convenience." I have arranged the guest room, and the girl will go to rest when she is tired. ”
Seeing that she had no intention of talking about the treasures of King Yue, Yuwendi had no choice but to say goodbye, go out of the hall, and be led back to the guest room by the minions.
She sat down in a chair in the room, with her hands on her cheeks, and thought to herself that the silver snake lady was pretending to be relaxed, and did not know what her plans were.
Let's say that in Jingbei Village, he is plotting and planning a big event at the moment. Since bidding farewell to Yu Wendi and the others on the same day, Zu Ke returned to the village in the north, and sent a strong Zhuang guest, with a secret letter written by himself, to gallop south on a good horse. Yesterday the dealer had returned, and Zuke Bei urgently called him into his room, and the two of them whispered for a long time.
At this time, Zukebei was discussing with several of his right-hand men in his room, and there was a long table in the room, on which were placed several plates of meat and fresh fruit, but there was no wine.
Zu Kebei glanced at the people present, and said resolutely: "You are all my father's old department, and you are also my uncle's generation. At present, Jingbeizhuang has encountered an extraordinary matter, and I need your uncles to help me. The little nephew is here, please. ”
Several people in the audience said: "The owner of the village does not have to be polite. We followed the great generals in the past and swore to die in revenge. Now Kuang Fu Shao Zhuang owner should also do his best. One of the middle-aged men stood up and said, "The owner of the village has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." I was not injured and obeyed all orders. The rest of the people said yes.
Zu Kebei stood up and said, "Zhang Erbo's sincere heart is the same as in the past. The uncles and uncles take care of each other, and the little nephew is engraved in their hearts. After that, he hugged his fist to everyone and continued: "More than 20 years ago, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that the treasure of King Yue was like winning the world. The matter then disappeared and no one knew where it was. Not long ago, the little nephew caught a small beard and accidentally learned the news of the treasure of King Yue. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all thought that the treasure of King Yue was famous all over the world, and if they could get it, then the world could be determined.
One of the big men with a beard on his face hurriedly said: "Since the owner of the village has learned the location of the treasure of King Yue, he has ordered someone to be sent to retrieve the treasure." Another man with a feather fan in his hand said in a clear voice: "If the owner of the village can get the treasure of the king of Yue, he can expand his strength and revive the great cause of the first general's Northern Expedition; For the future, the owner should immediately send someone to find the treasure. ”
Zu Kebei glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "What Uncle Zhao and Sixth Uncle Wu said is extremely true. But now there is something more important, a distinguished guest from the south is coming, and he will arrive soon. When they heard this, their faces became solemn and they listened attentively. Zu Kebei said in a low voice: "This distinguished guest has a respected status and is known as a prestige in the south. I don't know what the purpose of this visit is to Honjo. We'll just have to be careful and see what he does. Everyone nodded in agreement, and they all secretly wondered who it was.
Zu Kebei said to the man who was shaking the feather fan: "Fortunately, Sixth Uncle Wu will go and prepare the ceremonial food and drink to welcome the guests." The man said: "Don't worry, the owner of the village, wrap it on Wu Qingfeng." Then he got up and left. Zu Kebei said to the big man with a beard on his face: "It's hard for Zhao Sanbo to arrange several upper rooms, and there must be bathing things in the rooms. Don't neglect that guest. The man said: "Zhao Tianlei took the order." With that, he got up and left. Zu Kebei said to Zhang Wuxian: "Please ask Zhang Erbo to train the soldiers in the village immediately, so as to show the majesty of the village to the distinguished guests." Zhang Wuxian also took the order and left.
At this time, there were only two people left in the room. Zu Kebei cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "The second uncle, the third uncle, and the sixth uncle have already left, and the seventh uncle has anything to say, please say it directly." The person on the other side pondered for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Did the owner of the village spread the news of the location of the treasure of the Yue King to the south?" The person who spoke had a deep voice, showing that he had a very deep internal cultivation, and this person was the military master of Jingbei Zhuang, surnamed Ding.
Zu Kebei laughed when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Seventh is witty, and he is worthy of being a divine military advisor." After that, Zhengse continued: "Yes, the news that the little nephew will return the treasure of King Yue to the rivers and lakes has been informed to the south. Ding Xiance smiled slightly and said, "That's all?" Zu Kebei's eyes rolled and his tone was firm: "Not bad." I am loyal to the south, as Uncle Seven has always known. Ding Xiance nodded slightly and stopped talking.
Seeing that his expression was different, Zu Kebei panicked slightly, and clasped his hands in front of his chest. Seeing this scene, Ding Xiance knew that the stalemate would be embarrassing, so he got up and said, "What other tasks does the owner have, please instruct." Zu Kebei hurriedly said: "The tasks have been assigned, and the seventh uncle will go back to rest." Ding Xiance had no choice but to retire when he heard this.
Seeing that he was walking far, Zukebei exhaled a long breath. Then he ordered someone to call the housekeeper in the village. After a while, the housekeeper came to Zukebei's room, asked for peace, and stood aside. Zu Kebei said: "Steward Cao, how much silver is still in the village now?" The housekeeper said busily: "Thanks to the owner of the village, Hongfu, the village has added several new items this year. Just half a year ago, when the autumn wind was blowing, he brought back several carriages at a time, full of more than 2,000 taels of silver......" Before he finished speaking, he only heard Zu Kebei shout sharply: "Shut up! The butler was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, genuinely afraid. After a while, Zu Kebei asked again: "Jinghu Shuangjiao and the two of them have been on an errand in Luoyang for more than a month. I don't know if I have returned?" The housekeeper replied: "Anyone who goes out on business in this village must inform me first when he returns to the village." The two brothers left the village last month and have not yet returned. Zu Kebei was silent when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, when he saw that the butler was still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand at him. The butler bowed his head, then got up and withdrew.
At this time, in the Silver Snake Village, Yu Wendi was thinking about a countermeasure to save Liu Si. After she left, Lady Silver Snake and Niannu continued to drink each other.
Na Nian Nu spoke: "Madam led those two people to the village, what should I do?" Mrs. Silver Snake smiled slightly, and said, "I received a secret report that I have learned the news of King Yue's treasure. Nian Nu was surprised: "Those who have heard of the treasures of King Yue can win the world." Mrs. Jiren Tianxiang, Hong Fu Qitian. It's just that the treasure is very important, and everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to get it. How did Madame know this?"
Lady Silver Snake smiled wickedly and stopped talking. She raised her hands and patted them lightly three times, only to see two people turn out from behind the screen.
These two people, one fat and one thin, are the twin Jiao of Jinghu. Shuangjiao stepped forward and knelt down towards Mrs. Silver Snake and said, "Madame Wanfu Jin'an." Lady Silver Snake smiled, "That's it." Shuangjiao thanked them and stood aside.
Nian Nu glanced at the two of them and said, "Who are these two, why haven't you seen them?" was able to catch Yu Wendi and Liu Si, thanks to these two brothers. The tall one is Hou Chuanjiang, and the short one is Hou Guohai. The two brothers are known as the Mirror Lake Shuangjiao on the rivers and lakes. Hearing this, Nian Nu nodded and smiled at the two.
Mrs. Silver Snake said to the two of them: "It's hard work for you two this time. If you can get the treasure of King Yue, you will take your two brothers as the first credit. The two hurriedly clasped their fists and said: "My two brothers are willing to serve the dog and horse for the wife." Mrs. Silver Snake smiled and nodded, and said, "You have been out of Jingbeizhuang for more than a month, so in case of suspicion, it is better to go back as soon as possible." If there are any more tasks, I will let you know separately. ”
Shuangjiao said: "Obey Madame's orders." "After speaking, he didn't leave, but he made a promise, and he seemed to have something to say. Mrs. Silver Snake said: "What else is going on?" Hou Fujiang hurriedly smiled and said: "Madame promised me about the matter of the second brother, I don't know what is going on now?" Mrs. Silver Snake smiled: "Mrs. Ben has already reported it, and the two of you wait patiently, so you don't need to be anxious." The prince has a lot of opportunities, and the military affairs are complicated, and there are some who can't take care of it for a while. Hou Fanjiang hurriedly said: "What Madame said is very true. Then my two brothers are waiting for good news. Madam, Miss Niannu, took her leave. After speaking, he bowed his hand to Mrs. Chao and left with Hou Guohai.
After the two of them left, Niannu asked, "What did Madame promise them?" and Madame Silver Snake sneered and was silent.
As soon as the two of them came out of the Silver Snake Village, Hou Guohai seemed to be dissatisfied, and said, "That snake woman must be playing with us." I've been waiting for more than two years, and so far there is no news at all. Hou Chuanjiang said: "Brother, be more patient, maybe there will be news soon." Hou Guohai said angrily: "People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads." I had no choice but to accept my fate. "The two of you, you and I said a word, and rushed to Jingbeizhuang.
