Chapter 168: The Camel Who Sells Oranges
"Don't let people say it when they come out to sell, do you know who my senior brother is?" Zuo Sisi held the golden ring in his hand, in the posture of a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, Qin Yinglan held the handle of the knife but did not mean to unsheath it, she tightened her eyebrows, and wanted to explain this misunderstanding clearly, but she didn't know how to speak.
"Your senior brother is the king of heaven Lao Tzu, when he arrives at Chunlan Street, if he wants to raise his head, he must bow his head first!" "The old bustard must be coquettish and spicy, and the dozen turtle males under his hands are holding sharp weapons, not to mention ordinary thugs, and the force is at least above the vein! Although Qin Yinglan and Zuo Sisi have also reached the vein of force in recent years, they have been closed all year round, how can the experience of the rivers and lakes be comparable to these evil servants and turtle slaves?
"Give me a beating, and then tie me up and carry it in!" Wu's mother pulled her throat and stuck her waist in her waist, so arrogant!
The turtle man picked up the guy and swarmed up, and Qin Yinglan also pulled out his saber in desperation, but just when the two sides were about to fight, there was a "neigh" sound of the horse's neighing, and when he saw a white horse rampage, whether it was watching the excitement or fighting, they all exclaimed to avoid!
Di Yunfeng rode a white horse and drove straight into the crowd, seeing the opportunity to grab Zuo Sisi with one hand, and hugging Qin Yinglan with one hand - "Drive!" Drove the horse out of the crowd with a loud voice, one in and one out of the crowd, not much more than three breaths, when the bustard and the turtle man reacted, the white horse had already run away without a shadow, but the sound of the horse's hooves of "popping" could still be faintly heard......
......
......
"Who are you, let go of me! let go of me!" Zuo Sisi struggled fiercely.
More than ten years have passed, and Miss Zuo's temper has not changed at all. Di Yunfeng smiled, seeing that there would be no one chasing behind him, he stopped his horse slowly and put Zuo Sisi off the horse.
"Shouldn't you let me go too?" Di Yunfeng. Qin Yinglan said coldly.
"I was in too much of a hurry, if there is anything offended, please forgive Miss Qin. Di Yunfeng bent down and didn't dismount sideways until he gently put Qin Yinglan down. He took off the oil-paper umbrella from the horse and handed it to Qin Yinglan, and said with a smile: "Only this umbrella, you two use it together." ”
After Qin Yinglan got off the horse, she stared at him without blinking, her watery eyes were full of joy and excitement for reunion.
Di Yunfeng passed on his autobiography, and the smile at first sight was as familiar as ever: "Hmm, I have indeed mixed well in the past few years, and people are naturally more decent, how is it that you are handsome?"
Qin Yinglan smiled "poof", and from her tone, she had already concluded that Di Yunfeng was still the same Di Yunfeng before, she did not forget her original intention, and she had never changed, she took the oil-paper umbrella and smiled with relief: "Thank you for helping us out of the siege just now." ”
"What do you mean by relieving the siege for us, it is for the old bustard and the minions to relieve the siege, otherwise I would have beaten them all over the ground by now," Zuo Sisi pouted and asked Di Yunfeng: "Di Yunfeng, did you say?"
Di Yunfeng nodded and cooperated: "Yes, yes, I took you away at first because I was afraid that you would hurt others, you said that it is not easy for people to open the door to do business, right?"
"It's not easy to make chickens? You can make money by going to bed, just like the newly opened prostitution shop in Laoshan Town!"
"You, can the girl say less swearing, open your mouth and close your mouth is a chicken, chicken, chicken, I really don't know where to learn swearing, if you let the senior brother know that you are causing trouble outside, you will definitely be scolded. There was already a hint of anger in Qin Yinglan's words.
Zuo Sisi bit his lip and stopped to resist: "Then I won't go back tonight, so I don't have to see that bad woman's face! Senior brother has been disciplining us more and more strictly since he got married, it must be that woman who said bad things about us in his ear!"
Di Yunfeng's eyebrows raised slightly, the "senior brother" in Zuo Sisi's mouth must be Bai Xiu'an's mistake, and the words of "bad woman" and "marriage" ...... He narrowed his eyes and asked Qin Yinglan, "Is the White Hall Master married?"
Qin Yinglan nodded and was about to open her mouth to speak, but she heard Zuo Sisi rush to say: "Senior brother also brought back that bad woman when he came back from the battlefield, and the two of them got married in the church under the witness of the old man in charge, senior brother, he is too ruthless, he didn't consider my feelings at all......" At this point, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Di Yunfeng didn't feel it, he suddenly felt that he was a little similar to Zuo Sisi, while Bai Xiu'an was Wen Ziyu, and Li Hongyu was Han Renjun...... "By the way, this time you must have come from Yingzhou to participate in the succession ceremony of the new head of Kagura, right?
"Yingzhou is far away from the capital, so Yangmen didn't send many people, led by the senior brother, and there were one or two disciples from each peak, and there were only more than ten people. Lin Zifang and Huo Da's hometown is in the capital, and we are all temporarily living in the Lin Mansion...... By the way, Di Yunfeng, since I am lucky enough to meet them, I will go and meet them, Senior Brother can mention you for a long time, and also, I heard that Senior Brother said that you also went to Hanzhou to fight, is it true......
"Well, that's what happened......"
Xiaoyu was wet and her hair was wet, Di Yunfeng accompanied Zuo Sisi and Qin Yinglan all the way to the door of the Lin Mansion, and finally said goodbye politely. After learning all the way that Wen Ziyu did not participate in this trip, this news was indeed the most disappointing for him, but it was okay to do so, he was about to leave the True Martial Arts Realm and embark on the vast immortal journey, leaving too many emotions and finally hurting himself.
If you are lucky in the future, you will come back to talk about the old people.
......
......
The Lin family is located in the circle of the rich, and further into it is the imperial palace, where the general's mansion should be.
found General Wei's wife, expressed his condolences with regret, and then asked for the method of smuggling into the fairy world, and finally said goodbye and embarked on the journey.
No one could stop Di Yunfeng's footsteps into the fairy world, his heart was very empty since Qiqi's death, and then he learned that the feeling of emptiness in his heart turned into a faint pain when he learned that Ziyu did not come! He warned himself that the woman in the fairy world must not be lost again, even if she did everything she could, she had to keep her love!
"Oranges, oranges......" The cry is not loud but can be heard clearly.
It is possible to buy and sell in the rich area, but every inch of land here belongs to the rich family, and it is impossible for the hawkers to come and set up stalls to make money, and they will be swept by the servants as soon as they land. Of course, there are also diligent hawkers who carry their burdens and shout around, after all, the prices in the rich areas are more than ten times higher than those in the civilian areas.
The night is not too deep, and there is still an hour before the second watch, but it is natural to be able to carry the burden to the entire rich area and make hard-earned money.
Di Yunfeng thought to himself that since he was going to condole, how could it be good to be empty-handed?
The boss is a hunchback, I don't know if he was born hunchback or bent by the burden, he hunched his back and raised his head a little difficult, he saw the business come to the door, put down the burden and said slowly: "One or two silver and a catty." ”
A tael of silver oranges is often eaten by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is obvious that the size of the orange does not match its price, and the package ticket is by no means a dessert. But there are no other vendors passing by, and even if they pass by in this area, it may not be cheap.
"I'll pick three pounds. Di Yunfeng carefully sifted through the basket, he suddenly looked up, but saw that the camel suddenly avoided it, he frowned, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart. He didn't care about carefully choosing, and after holding a few handfuls, he motioned for the camel to weigh it.
"Add another one that's just three pounds. The camel weighed the scales and stuffed an extra orange into the paper bag.
Di Yunfeng took the orange, took three taels of silver and threw it away, turned around and left in a hurry. As a killer, have a keen and alert intuition.
This camel must not be as simple as buying oranges, he deliberately does not show his face, he keeps his voice low when he speaks, and most importantly, he unconsciously reveals his calloused hands when he weighs. The hands of the farmer are completely different from the hands of the murderer, the man's hands are white, the cocoon is born under the four fingers, the tiger's mouth is rough, it is obviously a pair of murderous hands, commonly known as the killer!
Di Yunfeng had just arrived, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, and besides, this camel didn't do anything to him. He peeled another orange and tasted it, it was sweet and non-toxic.
"It shouldn't be my business. He hung the orange on his horse, and took it away from the mansion while it was still dark at night.
————————
The official residence is different from the rich area, and a high wall separates it obviously, and the class is clearly demarcated in a high-profile manner. No matter how rich and powerful people are, they will always be shorter than the imperial court. The entrance to the official residence area is guarded by guards, and the military death vein is the base, and the security is impassable.
"What person?" the guards dutifully stopped Di Yunfeng and asked for his identity.
Di Yunfeng took out the Qilin Order, thinking that the Liang Lord would be unimpeded, but who knew that the guards guarding the door not only did not let it, but gathered around it, and scolded: "Bold fanatics, even the Qilin commander dares to pretend, and he doesn't get off the horse quickly!"
Di Yunfeng was quite surprised, looked at the token in his hand and scolded secretly: "His mother Yu Han is a liar, and he said that this thing can be used in the sky......" He didn't complied with the dismount, but asked in a deep voice: "Do you suspect that this unicorn is fake?"
A janissary said: "Why should we doubt that there is no one in the entire palace who holds the Moyu Qilin, is it not you?"
Di Yunfeng put on an official posture and said sternly: "Little soldier, I am not Yu Han himself, can't I be his friend? If you don't ask clearly, you will take people, if I am really his friend, wouldn't you offend your commander's friend, and you can afford this crime?"
This reason is very reasonable, the momentum is really a bit like a big official, all the guards look at each other, indeed, none of them can afford this kind of risk, after a while they put away all their weapons, their attitude changed respectfully, seeing a red-armored guard facing forward, he saluted slightly: "Subordinate Wang Zhang, I am on duty today, I will undoubtedly offend the lord, please forgive me," he raised his head, stared at Di Yunfeng uprightly and said: " In recent days, there have been many people in the rivers and lakes who want to blend into the official residence, and their duties have to be strict, if the adults don't mind me reporting to the superiors, how about releasing them if they confirm the identity of the adults?"
Being not afraid of the shadow, Di Yunfeng said casually: "Please." ”
"Then please wait a moment. The guards assigned two people to announce, and the rest of them did not move half a step, their attitude was humble and respectful, but their expressions did not relax a little, they would never dare to slack off before confirming Di Yunfeng's identity.
The night rain was slight, the night was long, Di Yunfeng was really bored sitting on the horse, so he asked the guards on the side: "You just said that some people in the rivers and lakes want to blend into the official mansion, what is the purpose?"
The Praetorian Guard shook his head: "Our duty is only to guard the entrance, and nothing else has the right to know. He replied very crisply and ruthlessly, but after a while, he seemed to feel that his tone was a little loud, so he added: "Last month, there were Jianghu killers who infiltrated the official mansion and attempted to assassinate Master Li, and no one was caught." ”
Di Yunfeng nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then do you know what is going on in General Wei's mansion?"
"General Wei......" As soon as the guards mentioned the death of the hero, they all darkened their eyes and lamented: "The dilapidated situation." ”
The pillars of a country have fallen, let alone a family? As soon as he thought of this, Di Yunfeng couldn't help but think of Xia Sheng's innocent appearance in his mind, how big should the death of his father hit her......
At this time, three figures fell from the sky, and in addition to the two guards who had just been announced, there was also a man in Xuanyi. The man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very ordinary-looking, with no features on his body, and if he were thrown into a sea of people, he would soon disappear.
"I heard that you have a unicorn in Han, can you show me?" the man in Xuanyi stretched out his hand and asked.
Di Yunfeng threw the token very happily, this person dared to call Yu Han's name, which proves that his rights and abilities are equal to Yu Han, so this world really can't judge people by their appearance, this is a big person, and he can't be provoked.
"Give it back to you, go inside. The man in Xuanyi returned the unicorn to Di Yunfeng and made a way.
"What, you don't doubt the origin of my token?" Di Yunfeng asked with a smile.
"Yu Han will give you this token, then it proves that he has his own thoughts, I don't care," the man in Xuanyi turned to leave, but before he took two steps, he looked back and asked, "What's your name?"
"Don't you doubt it?" Di Yunfeng rode his horse to follow, and he didn't have anything to hide from this kind of big man, so he replied with a smile: "My name is Di Yunfeng, and I bought a few catties of oranges and prepared to go to the General's Mansion to condole." ”
"You also have something to do with the General's Mansion?" said the man in Xuanyi with a little surprise.
Di Yunfeng nodded, pointed to the vast jade carving, and said bitterly: "Can this lord show me the way to the General's Mansion? ”
"Di Yunfeng......" The man in Xuanyi chanted Di Yunfeng's name a few times, flew up to the eaves lightly under his feet, pointed ahead, and said, "You follow me, I'll take you there." After speaking, he flew to the wall and took the first step.
Di Yunfeng drove his horse to follow, went straight along the avenue for nearly half an hour, turned to the left and galloped for another quarter of an hour, I have to say that this official mansion is not ordinarily large, and there is no edge in sight of the vertical and horizontal lines.
"It's here. The Xuanyi man stood on a wall with his shoulders crossed, stomped his feet and then deliberately instructed: "You remember to knock on the door, if you climb over the wall, you will die a miserable death." He turned around and quickly disappeared into the rainy night.
The imperial court guards really came and went without a trace, Di Yunfeng really wanted to ask this person's name, this person is too ordinary, maybe he will forget his appearance in two or three days, and even now he has never remembered the outline of this person clearly, if there is a name and a code name, at least he will not forget.
"There will be a period after the rivers and lakes are far away, the end of the world is not far away, and there will be a fate. ”
Di Yunfeng dismounted with an orange in his hand, and gently knocked on the vermilion lacquer gate in front of the general's mansion, and soon there was a sound of footsteps inside-
The "crunch" door opened. A slim beauty stood at the door, and the lantern under the eaves was not very bright, but there was nothing wrong with seeing one.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
The two exclaimed in unison.
"Miss Xue...... Oh no, Her Royal Highness. Di Yunfeng bowed.
Xue Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, and said bluntly: "Ordinary people see that this princess wants to kneel on both knees and bow down, and you don't even bend your waist?"
"Do you think an ordinary person can get an official mansion?" Di Yunfeng took out the Qilin and shook it in front of Xue Jin, "See, what a guy." ”
Xue Jin was a little startled, but after a while, he lightly "cut" and said arrogantly: "Even the Qilin Commander has to kneel on one knee when he sees this princess. ”
"I still have this. Di Yunfeng said and took out the piece of "General Order" left by General Wei, "I don't believe that with it, you still let me kneel to you." ”
Xue Jin was shocked: "General......'s order! How can you have such a fast token, is it ...... master?"
Di Yunfeng handed the reins to Xue Jin, and he took his hand and strode into the general's mansion: "Before I return this token, I am the master of this general's mansion, help me lead the horse, and I will tell you all the truth after serving." ”
"Hey, you wait for me, have you seen my master for the last time?" Xue Jin led the horse and hurriedly followed.
Di Yunfeng said: "I haven't eaten dinner yet, why don't you prepare a table of wine and food, and invite Mrs. out so that I can come with you?"
Xue Jin said: "The master left in a hurry after learning that the master had passed away, and she was no longer in the house. ”
"What!" Di Yunfeng exclaimed, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know where Madame has gone?"
Xue Jin shook his head and said, "When my wife left, she only left me a letter, telling me to take a good look at Xia Sheng, so I moved into the General's Mansion." ”
If the general's wife leaves, won't the method of smuggling into the immortal realm come to naught? Di Yunfeng's heart was not a taste, and he asked again: "What about Xia Sheng?"
"I'm here. Xia Sheng stood at the gate, she was obviously thinner than Huanghua under the lights, "Bai Moli, you are here......" Her heart was welcome, but her tone was a little powerless, and she beckoned again: "Don't get drenched in the rain, come in and sit, I have the answer you want here." ”
"Alas, my poor sister Sheng...... Xue Jin ran to the door, helped Xia Sheng to the side, and she shouted again: "Di Yunfeng, you come along, there is no one in the general's mansion, go to the boudoir to get warmer." ”
The once glorious General's Mansion now only has two girls living here alone, and it is indeed as the forbidden army at the gate said, "dilapidated condition".
"Where are the people, have they all run away?" Di Yunfeng asked.
Xue Jin said: "General Wei's family is on the battlefield, where is there any other subordinate? Only an old butler, after hearing the news of General Wei's death, he couldn't lift his braids in one breath." ”
Di Yunfeng couldn't have any other emotions, only a long sigh to express regret.
