Chapter 35: Mistakes (1)
Someone saw Gongzi Bai leave from the Tonghou Mansion, but they didn't know what the two of them said and did.
Although the matter of Liang Guo's disobedience and secret collusion with Qin Rong is not yet well known, everyone in the court and the central government who has been in that position should basically be clear.
Now let the children of Liangguo stumble in the capital, in addition to being afraid of startling the snake, of course, there are some old ministers of the Huairou faction who block it.
The Marquis of Tong was ordered by the eldest prince to go to Liangguo to support and fight together, but everyone knew that this was something that both sides had to clean up.
But now, even if you don't know what Gongzi Bai and Tonghou said, even if his Gongzi Bai can enter the Tonghou Mansion, he can still stay in it for a few hours, this is a political signal that wants people's lives.
Someone reported the matter to the eldest prince, so the eldest prince was furious.
It is said that the eldest prince whipped dozens of eunuchs and palace maids to death that day.
It seemed like a calm afternoon, but it turned the situation in Gyeonggi upside down.
The storm is surging...
When Xie Yu returned to the grain shed, Xu Xiaozhang had already woken up.
The two still have a tacit understanding in their hearts, one didn't ask, and the other didn't say.
Qi Xing and his party have left, she asked the elders in the village to leave a message to Xie Yu, saying that she is eager to return to the country, and she can't repay the favor, if there is something in the future, she will take the token to find her in the Jin Kingdom, she can help,
This is a fish-shaped jade, with large round eyes and a small round hole hollowed out at the mouth. There are no scales, and the dorsal fin is outlined with a yin line, which is then filled with a thin diagonal line.
The pelvic fin is only outlined. The tail is double-forked, slightly outward-skimmed, the end is double-sided, sharp as a blade, with a hole in the mouth, and a long tenon at the end of the tail, like a carving knife.
Let's not talk about the color, purity, and glutinousness of this jade itself, just talk about its carving process... It's worth a lot of money.
Xie Yu took the token in the hands of the village elders with a complicated expression, and then stuffed it into Xu Xiaozhang's hand.
This crisis itself was resolved by Xu Xiaozhang, and it has nothing to do with him Xie Yu. It's nothing more than spending some effort to save Jin Gong, but the gentleman cherishes it... It is impossible for Xie Yu, such a loyal and righteous person, not to be saved... It doesn't matter if you don't repay the favor.
There is a saying, how do you say it? That is called Lu Jian is uneven and draws a knife to help... Besides, this is not an unevenness on the road, this is an unevenness on the face.
Xu Xiaozhang didn't pretend to squirm and shirk, and directly stuffed the jade into his bag... After all, the heroes of the rivers and lakes also have to eat, don't they?
Otherwise, where can the heroes go to earn tariffs after walking the rivers and lakes for so long? Aren't they all paid by the rescuers?
The two of them packed their bags and said goodbye to the villagers who had taken them in for the night.
Since he has a powerful master like Xu Xiaozhang, it is imperative to save Mu Jiu.
Therefore, the goal of Xie Yu and the others is Qingtian's den, the Great Yi Temple.
"What the hell is your name. Xie Yu rode the mule he bought in the village and walked in front of Xu Xiaozhang to lead the way, bored, so he asked casually. "It's impossible for me to really call you Xu Xiaozhang, right?"
Xu Xiaozhang was speechless as he rode a mule behind. "Call me whatever you want, whatever you want. ”
After he lost the knife, everyone he met didn't think of him as Xu Xiaozhang, what could he do?
Why? Knives are a little more famous than people? Is Xu Xiaozhang a knife or a human?
But he still didn't ask.
"How can I call it casually? The surname and name are given by the ancestors, and they cannot be easily changed, if I call you at will, wouldn't it be a violation of etiquette and law? It is unkind to you?" Xie Yu frowned and refuted Xu Xiaozhang.
Xu Xiaozhang rolled his eyes, he didn't expect this sour Confucian student to be so difficult, and even casually committed his taboo.
"Alright, alright. Xu Xiaozhang didn't want to bother with this matter. "You can just call me Lao Xu, Xu Xiaozhang and I are from our family, he is my cousin, and I came to find him on this trip. ”
"Oh, I see. Xie Yu nodded, this is reasonable, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and walking the rivers and lakes with his cousin's name can remove some dangers. But the trouble is that you may run into Xu Xiaozhang's enemy.
"Do you want to learn from your cousin and make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes?" Xie Yu asked again, as mentioned above, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, although this person still has chivalrous bones, not a very vicious person, but he still said that he is Xu Xiaozhang's cousin, there is no basis, he needs to ask in detail.
Xu Xiaozhang shook his head and said to Xie Yu. "I just promised my husband to get rid of the evil. ”
Xie Yu wanted to speak again, but who knew that Xu Xiaozhang's legs were clamped, and he was side by side with Xie Yu with an acceleration.
Xu Xiaozhang couldn't stand Xie Yu and asked again, he stretched out his hand to interrupt the topic that Xie Yu wanted to continue.
"How long will it take to get to that place you said?" Xu Xiaozhang asked Xie Yu. "I've been walking along this official road for a few hours, and the sun is so big, it's really hot. ”
As he spoke, Xu Xiaozhang raised his head and looked at the sun hanging in the sky that was getting hotter and hotter.
"Hell, it's getting hotter by the day. Xu Xiaozhang scolded the golden crow monarch for being shameless.
The sun was dazzling, Xu Xiaozhang could only cover part of the optical fiber with his hands, and then opened a little gap between his fingers.
Xie Yu also followed his gaze to the sun.
If Xu Xiaozhang didn't mention it, he didn't feel anything yet.
This temperature... Indeed, this is unusual.
But there's no way around that, isn't it... It seems that this year is about to usher in another famine year.
"There's no hurry. Xie Yu retracted his gaze, took an unknown artifact in his hand, and showed it to Xu Xiaozhang.
This is also a jade, the jade is dark green, the shape is trapezoidal, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, slightly thicker in the middle, the front is bounded by the middle, the two sides are decorated with symmetrical ornamentation, and the animal face pattern, dragon pattern and human head pattern are carved with a double hook method.
The back is light without lines, the upper end of the device and the top of the back have two pairs of opposite perforations, a total of five pairs, the lower end of the apparatus and the lower end of the back have seven pairs of two pairs of opposing perforations, all of which are sideways and anticlinal drills, which are used to connect other bead tubes and jade pendants.
The whole of the jade is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and it is decorated with symmetrical dragon patterns and human head patterns. There are perforations at the upper and lower ends, which are side and anticline drills.
There are six perforations at the upper end of the jade plaque, six strings of red agate beads on the top, nine perforations at the lower end, and nine strings of red agate beads, jade beads and material beads hanging below.
Before Xu Xiaozhang could ask, Xie Yu opened his mouth.
"Follow this jade, and we will be there. ”
Xu Xiaozhang just wanted to say something, and suddenly, a faint light emitted from the jade...
"That's it. Xie Yu continued.
"Where?" Xu Xiaozhang looked around, all overgrown with weeds and empty.
The two have unknowingly deviated from the official road.
Xie Yu turned over and got off the mule, holding the jade pendant in his hand, and turned around like a headless fly in this desolate wilderness.
Xu Xiaozhang crossed his hands on his chest and waited for Xie Yu's news on the side.
"I'm sorry, it seems to be a bit off. After a while, Xie Yu was sweating profusely, returned to the same place, and said to Xu Xiaozhang apologetically. "I made a mark there with Qi Li when I left. ”
"Could it be that the other party has already cleared your mark?" asked Xu Xiaozhang.
"No way. Xie Yu shook his head. "Not to mention my Qi number itself, it is shown in this jade, and we are not far from the goal. ”
As soon as the words fell, the jade shone brightly.
Xie Yu was overjoyed, and he didn't care about what to say to Xu Xiaozhang, so he gave him a gesture and asked him to follow him.
After a while, the two arrived at their destination.
Xu Xiaozhang looked at a big pit in front of him and was dumbfounded.
"This is the hole you said you made when you escaped?" asked Xu Xiaozhang, pointing to the hole that was twenty feet in diameter.
Xie Yu nodded.
Xu Xiaozhang was silent for a while, and saw that Xie Yu didn't want to give an explanation before he spoke. "Let's not talk about how you got this hole, just talk about such an obvious hole... Those thieves have already run away, right?"
Xie Yu nodded again and said, "Yes, since they dare to attack the princes and nobles, they should have been prepared in advance, and there must be more than one such stronghold." And since they let me escape, they won't make another mistake and will inevitably transfer. ”
"Then why did you bring me here?" asked Xu Xiaozhang, seemingly dissatisfied with Xie Yu's stupid decision.
"Because the clue is here," Xie Yu replied. "My Qi knows Gong Mu Jiu... It's my friend's breath... On the day of the deer feast..."
Before Xie Yu finished speaking, Xu Xiaozhang frowned, pressed Xie Yu's shoulder, and motioned him not to make a sound.
"Someone's coming!"
