Chapter 62: Worship the Mountain
"In that case, I will send someone to you early tomorrow morning, and with him to appear, your activities in all aspects of Jinling will be much easier. ”
"Then there's Uncle Lauber. ”
"It should be, it should be. Suddenly, the sound of dance music played, and the glamorous dancing girls appeared like flying flowers, with colorful clothes fluttering and fragrant bursts. The dancers are wearing revealing clothes, their tops can't cover their navels, their short skirts can't cover their buttocks, and they wear colored veils on their heads, revealing only a pair of eyes, but from those smart eyes, you can imagine the outstanding appearance.
Murong Baishi squinted his eyes at his nephew, observing his performance when the dancer appeared, and he was very puzzled in his heart. Allowing the people he sent to follow him on an errand is undoubtedly tantamount to allowing himself to spy on him at close range to investigate the case. Murong Baishi's unscrupulous overtures surprised Murong Baishi, wondering if he was frightened by the death of the third prince? Or was he not with his brother at all, and wanted to take the opportunity to bring down Tuoba Zhen? Or was it just a temptation to himself? Anyway, now it seems that Tuoba Lie has no malice, no malice towards the eldest prince, and this matter has to be reported to his sister as soon as possible.
Observing Tuoba Lie closely, Murong Baishi found that the youngest of the princes looked very old, probably because there was too much wind blowing outside the plug, although when viewed from a distance, he had a heroic spirit and the fortitude of a soldier, but when he looked at it closely, he would find that the skin was very rough, and the short cracked fine lines were densely covered, like a stone that had been eroded by the wind for a long time and exposed cracks, far from the fine skin and tender flesh of the princes of the imperial palace. When you get closer, you can faintly smell the smell of the mountain, which must be the result of eating cattle and sheep for a long time. Cattle and sheep are more used as food near the border, and the imperial capital and Jinling are dominated by birds and sea beasts.
"It looks like a dirt bun. Murong Baishi sneered in his heart, but suddenly remembered that Tuoba Lie's wife was An Linglong, the only daughter of the eldest princess of the dynasty, and gasped: "He doesn't also want to join the competition for the succession of Kowloon, right?" In an instant, he overturned his thoughts, "No, if you really want to join the war between princes, you must first work with others to overthrow the eldest prince and create an opportunity for fair competition, and you will not take the initiative to show favor to yourself!" He must be afraid of repeating the mistakes of the three princes, afraid of offending people, and wants to return to the outside of the Saiwai as soon as possible to continue to fight the barbarians, and to live a life full of stench like savages, it must be!"
Murong Baishi sneered in his heart, he looked down on Tuoba Lie from the bottom of his heart, but his mood relaxed, the worries of his sister and nephew seemed to be superfluous, and Tuoba Lie did not pose any threat to us.
At that moment, he laughed: "Virtuous nephew, these dancing girls are all transported from outside the Saiwai, with excellent appearance, graceful figures, excellent dancing posture, and a charm integrated into the bones, which is not comparable to ordinary kabuki, enjoy it." ”
Tuoba Lie stared intently at the dancing girl flying in front of him, and the corners of his eyes shrank irrepressibly a few times. In Murong Baishi's opinion, the tightening of the corners of his eyes was because he had never seen such a beautiful woman and extremely charming. Only Tuoba Lie himself knew that the corners of his eyes narrowed several times because he was too familiar with these dancing girls.
They have lived in barren land for a long time, and their people are fierce and brave in war, and they often lead iron horsemen to the south to rob their own residents of their own materials, and the people of the people's country hate them to the core.
The women outside the Saiwai were warriors by day and dancers by night, for the pleasure of the men, they were enlightened, it was common for brothers and friends to share a woman, and the children born were also raised by the full-time personnel of the tribe, and there was almost no bloodline except for the Great Khan. Murong Baishi dared to disobey the imperial ban and openly cultivate a group of dancing girls outside the palace, he simply didn't take the imperial decrees in his eyes, and he didn't take the hard work and bloodshed of the border soldiers to heart!
Therefore, when the dancers appeared, it was really difficult for Tuoba Lie's heart to calm down. On the one hand, I feel that what Shen Fei said is not unreasonable, he led his soldiers to fight desperately on the border, and tried to provide an environment for the people of the country to live and work in peace and contentment, but people like Murong Baishi actually smuggled foreign female warriors whose hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers to the hinterland of the empire for personal pleasure, ignoring the imperial decrees, and even blaspheming the blood of the soldiers, which is simply unforgivable. Only by becoming the future emperor can he change all this completely, and on the other hand, Tuoba Lie is worried about the future of the empire. Father's reign of thirty-one years, on the surface the country is in an unprecedented prosperity, but in fact it is not, only the princes and nobles who are really prosperous, not ordinary people, most of the ordinary people in the country are living in the water and fire, if there is no support of Buddhism, the long-term oppressed people must have risen up long ago, which also shows the importance of Buddhism to maintain the rule, if the real change of Taoism as the state religion, will it cause national turmoil?
People in high positions always think a lot, and some considerations are beyond the reach of ordinary people in their lifetimes.
In the midst of Tuobalie's thoughts, the leading dancer stepped forward gracefully, gently stretched out her hand to him, and wanted to pull him up, Tuoba Lie did not obey, firmly refused, and smiled apologetically, "Uncle Baishi, my beloved wife has a big temper, if you see this king mixed with other women, she will definitely not be able to spare me." So, I appreciate your kindness, so let's let the dancers all retreat. ”
Murong Baishi smiled deeply and didn't speak, because the dancing girl didn't speak, she wouldn't leave, but seduced Tuoba Lie even harder. At the moment, he rode to Tuoba Lie's thighs as charmingly as he could, and the plump buttocks under the water snake's waist rubbed between Tuoba Lie's legs against his clothes, Tuoba Lie was a man after all, and he was provoked to the fire, but he still firmly refused and pushed her away: "Uncle Baishi, the little nephew is leaving!"
As he spoke, he stood up in one fell swoop, causing a lot of movement, so much so that he lifted the dancer sitting on his lap and fell to the ground, revealing an expression that bordered on horror, this expression was not because of Tuoba Lie's anger, but because after Tuoba Lie's anger, Murong Baishi was going to punish them.
Fortunately, Murong Baishi was in a good mood today, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go down, the virtuous nephew is naturally tired when he comes from afar, so it should be good to rest and rest." ”
The drumming stopped abruptly, and the dancers, with their skirts bowed their heads, lined up and walked out of the back hall. When the room was quiet again, Murong Baishi said: "My good nephew, don't blame your uncle for saying that you have lived in the world for less than a hundred years, and you will not leave regrets when you enjoy the joy of the world, what do you say?" ”
Tuoba Lie bowed his hand to him and apologized: "I'm disturbing my uncle's Yaxing, but the little nephew really has something unspeakable." ”
"This uncle understands, after all, she is the daughter of the eldest princess of the dynasty, and her temper is naturally very big. But Uncle also has to persuade you, women are disobedient and disrespectful, and if they are too good to them, they will ride on your head and and pee, you know. ”
"Uncle's kind little nephew has it, but this king grew up with his childhood sweetheart, and his feelings can't be compared with others. ”
"Hahaha, since that's the case, Uncle Bento didn't say that the two of you have a good relationship, so you will naturally live happily. ”
"By the way, uncle, may I ask where you are on the banks of the Fairy River. ”
"The Fairy River is a mother river that runs through Jinling, and the banks of the Fairy River are the banks of the river, where do you refer exactly?"
"The area where the painting boat haunts! To tell you the truth, the third brother was stabbed to death there, and when he was stabbed, the two guards were around, so I suspect that it was collusion between the inside and outside. ”
"Nephew, your case-handling efficiency is really high enough. ”
"These are all mentioned in my father's urgent letter of 600 miles, and my father knows every move in the human kingdom well. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor is the foundation of the prosperity of the empire, and he is the most beloved person of my generation. ”
"That's nature. ”
"Speaking of which, I really have to start with the painting boat. The painting boat on the Fairy River is well known in Jinling City, it is the boat of the Qianqian girl of the first brand of the Red Mansion, and it will travel along the Fairy River every afternoon, attracting young talents who come to compete for bids, in order to be able to see the Qianqian girl with their own eyes. Speaking of this, Murong Baishi's face sank, "This...... How did the three princes go there? ”
He didn't say what he said later, but Tuoba Lie understood that he was trying to say: The Red Chamber is a place where prostitutes haunt, and it is really immoral for the third prince to go there. At that moment, he made a forbidden gesture, approached Murong Baishi and said: "Shh, don't hide it from uncle, few people know about this matter except for me and my father, and this king also thinks that uncle, you are not an outsider, so I told the truth, you must not mention it to outsiders." ”
"Eun, don't worry, my mouth is the strictest. Murong Baishi's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his smiling face was squeezed together.
But he heard Tuoba Lie continue: "Regarding the regular travel of the Fairy River Painting Boat, in fact, the little nephew has already investigated it clearly, what the little nephew really wants to ask is, as far as I know, the Jinling Red Mansion is the sphere of influence of the four major families, will the investigation of the Red Mansion cause inconvenience to the uncle?"
"This ......" Murong Baishi was shocked again, he really didn't expect Tuoba Lie to think so carefully, no wonder he was coming to visit him this year, it turned out that he came to probe first, so as to determine whether he could continue the investigation.
At the moment, he waved his hand again and again: "Good nephew, the death of the third prince is very important, even my subordinates must be thoroughly investigated, you can rest assured that you can check it, and if something happens, your uncle will take care of you." Speaking of this, Murong Baishi's words suddenly changed and said, "But good nephew, there is something Uncle has to tell you, you must know something about the four major families in Jinling, the painting boat and the Red Mansion are the most powerful of the four families, the sphere of influence of the Linghu family, if you want to ask about it, it is best to go to the Royal Casino to meet Linghu Xuanzhou." ”
"Linghu Hangzhou, I heard when he came, it is said that he challenged the power of the imperial family in Jinling City as a cloth of people, and he was extremely bold, should Uncle take this opportunity to find him trouble. ”
"You don't have to. Good nephew won't tell you, Linghu Xuanzhou is still quite righteous, and he is very good at making money, Jinling City has become the current prosperous appearance in his hands, and the balance between the four major families has also been established, he is not our opponent. ”
"I see, that's for the best. ”
"Why don't I take you to meet the hanging boat in person in two days?"
"It's just a cloth cloth, so why bother with the uncle personally introducing it. ”
"Hey, stupid boy, how do you know, it doesn't matter what Uncle said about things in Jinling City, everything has to be listened to by the one who makes the fox hang, you must not feel that his status is low, so you offend him. Since you don't want me to follow, then take my token with you, and if the token is there, the hanging boat will know the relationship between you and me. ”
"So...... There's Uncle Lau. ”
"It's a matter of duty. ”
"Uncle Murong, I think so, you can call your people over tomorrow, just bring the token with you by the way, anyway, I am short of manpower in Jinling to handle the case, and it is always good for multiple people to work together." ”
After Tuoba Lie finished saying this, Murong Baishi was even more surprised, he never dreamed that his little nephew, who was notoriously unsociable, valued their Murong family so much, "Good nephew, you are the Qincha sent to Jinling by Banzai today, it is within your duty to assist you in handling the case, my Murong Mansion's waist card is still in charge of Jinling, it doesn't hurt to give it to you now, you don't have to wait until tomorrow." ”
"Uncle Murong, you really don't have to be in a hurry, it's not too late to pick up your token when your people arrive tomorrow. ”
"Do you really want to?"
"Of course. ”
"Alright, just do as you say. ”
"In addition, Uncle Murong, I have long heard that you like to smoke dry tobacco, and my nephew has specially prepared some for you, which can be regarded as a meeting gift. ”
"Good nephew, you are too polite, we are close, there is no need to be so angry. ”
"When you meet for the first time, you will naturally have to fulfill the number of courtesies. As he spoke, Tuoba Lie took out a paper-wrapped tobacco leaf from the mustard seed belt given to him by Shen Fei, and Murong Baishi knew through the paper that it was not a high-quality product, but he still opened the paper package and sniffed it carefully, and praised: "Good nephew, your kind uncle has accepted it, if there is anything to say, don't be polite to the uncle." ”
Tuoba Lie clenched his fists again: "When I first arrived, many things need my uncle's guidance, so it's good that my uncle won't be impatient." ”
"No, no, of course not. ”
"Hahaha. ”
"Hahahaha. ”
"Okay, at this point, the little nephew will no longer disturb the uncle's rest and take his leave. ”
